Hi,
a few days ago I looked through the LINT file of the stable kernel
sources and
wondered if the "iir" RAID device would also support the ICP vortex line
of RAID controllers (INTEL recently bought the manufacturer ICP and
with it its whole
productline of controllers)
So I asked one of the contacts for the "iir" named in the LINT -
[EMAIL PROTECTED] -
if ICP Vortex controllers are also supported..
Achim had this to say..

Hello Kai,
the "iir" driver supports the ICP vortex controller line AND the intel
controller line.
You must not use another ICP specific driver.
Regards,
Achim

Subject: FreeBSD and Intel/ICP Vortex Raid-Controllers
Hello,
does the device "iir" in the kernel sources of FreeBSD stable also
support
the ICP Vortex Raid-Controller line, or do I still have to use the
FreeBSD
driver delivered by ICP Vortex?
I found the following in the LINT file of the freebsd kernel sources..
--snip--
#
# Intel Integrated RAID controllers.
# This driver was developed and is maintained by Intel. Contacts
# at Intel for this driver are
# "Kannanthanam, Boji T" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> and
# "Leubner, Achim" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
#
device iir
--snip--
Proposal:
The "iir" comment section of the LINT file in stable should mention that
ICP vortex controllers are also supported by the "iir" driver.
Cheers,
Kai.
