519c183801SScott LongThe
529c183801SScott Long.Nm
539c183801SScott Longdriver provides support for the Areca ARC-11xx and ARC-12xx series of SATA II
549c183801SScott LongRAID controllers.
559c183801SScott LongThese controllers feature RAID-0, 1, 3, 5, 6, and 10 and
569c183801SScott LongJBOD acceleration for up to 16 SATA drives.
579c183801SScott LongRaid level and stripe level
589c183801SScott Longmigration, online capacity expansion, hot insertion/removal, automatic failover
599c183801SScott Longand rebuild, and SMART are also supported.
609c183801SScott LongAccess to the arrays is provided
619c183801SScott Longvia the SCSI CAM
629c183801SScott Long.Pa /dev/da?
639c183801SScott Longdevice nodes.
649c183801SScott LongA management interface is also present via the
659c183801SScott Long.Pa /dev/arcmsr?
66ad942ef6SChristian Bruefferdevice node.
67ad942ef6SChristian BruefferManagement tools for i386 and amd64 are available from Areca.

1129c183801SScott LongThe
1139c183801SScott Long.Nm
1149c183801SScott Longdriver first appeared in
1159c183801SScott Long.Fx 5.4 .
1169c183801SScott Long.Sh AUTHORS
1179c183801SScott LongThe driver was written by
1189c183801SScott Long.An Erich Chen Aq erich@areca.com.tw .
1199c183801SScott Long.Sh BUGS
1209c183801SScott LongThe driver has been tested on i386 and amd64.
1219c183801SScott LongIt likely requires additional
1229c183801SScott Longwork to function on big-endian architectures.
