.Dd December 4, 2015 .Dt ARCMSR 4 .Os .Sh NAME .Nm arcmsr .Nd Areca RAID Controller driver .Sh SYNOPSIS To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file: d -ragged -offset indent .Cd "device pci" .Cd "device scbus" .Cd "device da" .Cd "device arcmsr" .Ed
p Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in .Xr loader.conf 5 : d -literal -offset indent arcmsr_load="YES" .Ed .Sh DESCRIPTION The .Nm driver provides support for the Areca ARC-11xx, ARC-12xx, ARC-13xx, ARC-16xx and ARC-18xx series of SAS and SATA RAID controllers. These controllers feature RAID-0, 1, 3, 5, 6, and 10 and JBOD acceleration for up to 16 SATA drives. RAID level and stripe level migration, online capacity expansion, hot insertion/removal, automatic failover and rebuild, and SMART are also supported. Access to the arrays is provided via the SCSI CAM
a /dev/da? device nodes. A management interface is also present via the
a /dev/arcmsr? device node. Management tools for i386 and amd64 are available from Areca. .Sh HARDWARE The .Nm driver supports the following cards:

It likely requires additional work to function on big-endian architectures.
