201Support is currently implemented for the following formats:

204The format defined by the SNIA Common RAID Disk Data Format v2.0 specification.
205Used by some Adaptec RAID BIOSes and some hardware RAID controllers.
206Because of high format flexibility different implementations support
207different set of features and have different on-disk metadata layouts.

209Because of high format flexibility different implementations support
210different set of features and have different on-disk metadata layouts.
208To provide compatibility, the GEOM RAID class mimics capabilities and
209metadata layout of the first detected DDF array.
211To provide compatibility, the GEOM RAID class mimics capabilities
212of the first detected DDF array.
210Respecting that, it may support different number of disks per volume,
211volumes per array, partitions per disk, etc.
212The following configurations are supported: RAID0 (2+ disks), RAID1 (2+ disks),
213RAID1E (3+ disks), RAID3 (3+ disks), RAID4 (3+ disks), RAID5 (3+ disks),
214RAID5E (4+ disks), RAID5EE (4+ disks), RAID5R (3+ disks), RAID6 (4+ disks),
215RAIDMDF (5+ disks), RAID10 (4+ disks), SINGLE (1 disk), CONCAT (2+ disks).

219.Pp
220Format supports two options "BE" and "LE", that mean big-endian byte order
221defined by specification (default) and little-endian used by some Adaptec
222controllers.
216.It Intel
217The format used by Intel RAID BIOS.
218Supports up to two volumes per array.
219Supports configurations: RAID0 (2+ disks), RAID1 (2 disks),
220RAID5 (3+ disks), RAID10 (4 disks).
221Configurations not supported by Intel RAID BIOS, but enforceable on your own
