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):

DESCRIPTION

       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.

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.
