     pst -- device driver for Promise Supertrak SX6000

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

     device pst

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     This driver is for the Promise Supertrak SX6000 ATA hardware RAID controller.
  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 Superswap disk enclosures.
  The Supertrak line of controllers does not support non-disk
     devices.

NOTES    [Toc]    [Back]

     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    [Toc]    [Back]

     The pst driver first appeared in FreeBSD 4.7.
