ARCMSR(4) Kernel Interfaces Manual ARCMSR(4) NAME arcmsr -- Areca SATA II RAID Controller driver SYNOPSIS To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file: device pci device scbus device da device arcmsr Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5): arcmsr_load="YES" DESCRIPTION The arcmsr driver provides support for the Areca ARC-11xx and ARC-12xx se- ries of SATA II RAID controllers. These controllers feature RAID-0, 1, 3, 5, 6, and 10 and JBOD acceleration for up to 16 SATA drives. Raid level and stripe level migration, online capacity expansion, hot insertion/re- moval, automatic failover and rebuild, and SMART are also supported. Ac- cess to the arrays is provided via the SCSI CAM /dev/da? device nodes. A management interface is also present via the /dev/arcmsr? device node. Management tools for i386 and amd64 are available from Areca. HARDWARE The arcmsr driver supports the following cards: * ARC-1110 * ARC-1120 * ARC-1130 * ARC-1160 * ARC-1170 * ARC-1180 * ARC-1110ML * ARC-1120ML * ARC-1130ML * ARC-1160ML * ARC-1210 * ARC-1220 * ARC-1230 * ARC-1260 * ARC-1280 * ARC-1210ML * ARC-1220ML * ARC-1231ML * ARC-1261ML * ARC-1280ML FILES /dev/da? Array block device /dev/arcmsr? Management interface SEE ALSO da(4), scbus(4) HISTORY The arcmsr driver first appeared in FreeBSD 5.4. AUTHORS The driver was written by Erich Chen <erich@areca.com.tw>. BUGS The driver has been tested on i386 and amd64. It likely requires addi- tional work to function on big-endian architectures.
