NAME
       pst -- device driver for	Promise	Supertrak SX6000

SYNOPSIS
       To  compile  this  driver  into the kernel, place the following line in
       your kernel configuration file:

	     device pst

       Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at	boot time,  place  the
       following line in loader.conf(5):

	     pst_load="YES"

DESCRIPTION
       This  driver is for the Promise Supertrak SX6000	ATA hardware RAID con-
       troller.	 It supports (in hardware) RAID	levels 0, 1,  0+1,  3,	5  and
       JBOD  on	 up  to	 6  ATA	 disk  drives, including automatic rebuild and
       hotswap,	and supports signalling	disk status on LEDs on Promise	Super-
       swap  disk enclosures.  The Supertrak line of controllers does not sup-
       port non-disk devices.

HARDWARE
       The pst driver supports the Promise Supertrak SX6000 ATA	hardware  RAID
       controller.

NOTES
       The  pst	 driver	 does  not  support manipulating the RAID from the OS,
       RAIDs need to be	set up from the	onboard	BIOS.  However,	hot swap,  hot
       spare, and automatic rebuilds are supported without a reboot.

HISTORY
       The pst driver first appeared in	FreeBSD	4.7.

AUTHORS
       The   pst   driver   and	  man	page  was  written  by	Soren  Schmidt
       <sos@FreeBSD.org>.

FreeBSD	14.3		       December	14, 2004			PST(4)
