# 299497 11-May-2016 pfg

MFC r298755:
sys/geom: spelling fixes.

These affect debugging messages.


# 256281 10-Oct-2013 gjb

Copy head (r256279) to stable/10 as part of the 10.0-RELEASE cycle.

# 253706 27-Jul-2013 mav

Introduce 3 seconds timeout on `graid stop` command (mostly with -f flag).
Since completion waiting goes in g_event thread, it may cause GEOM deadlock
if consumer on top (for example, ZFS) uses g_event thread for closing.


# 241329 07-Oct-2012 mav

Make graid command line a bit more friendly by allowing volume name or
provider name to be specified instead of geom name (first argument in all
subcommands except label). In most cases there is only one array used
any way, so it is not really useful to make user type ugly geom names like
Intel-f0bdf223 or SiI-732c2b9448cf. Though they can be used in some cases.

# 234940 03-May-2012 mav

Add optional -o argument to the `graid label ` to specify some metadata
format options. Use it for specifying byte order for the DDF metadata:
big-endian defined by specification and little-endian used by Adaptec.

MFgraid/head:
Add new RAID GEOM class, that is going to replace ataraid(4) in supporting
various BIOS-based software RAIDs. Unlike ataraid(4) this implementation
does not depend on legacy ata(4) subsystem and can be used with any disk
drivers, including new CAM-based ones (ahci(4), siis(4), mvs(4), ata(4)
with `options ATA_CAM`). To make code more readable and extensible, this
implementation follows modular design, including core part and two sets
of modules, implementing support for different metadata formats and RAID
levels.

Support for such popular metadata formats is now implemented:
Intel, JMicron, NVIDIA, Promise (also used by AMD/ATI) and SiliconImage.

Such RAID levels are now supported:
RAID0, RAID1, RAID1E, RAID10, SINGLE, CONCAT.

For any all of these RAID levels and metadata formats this class supports
full cycle of volume operations: reading, writing, creation, deletion,
disk removal and insertion, rebuilding, dirty shutdown detection
and resynchronization, bad sector recovery, faulty disks tracking,
hot-spare disks. For Intel and Promise formats there is support multiple
volumes per disk set.

Look graid(8) manual page for additional details.
