NAME
     pst -- device driver for Promise Supertrak SX6000

SYNOPSIS
     device pst

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  sup-
     ports  signalling disk status on LEDs on Promise Superswap disk enclosures.
     The Supertrak line of controllers does not support non-disk devices.

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 5.3			November 21, 2001			  PST(4)
