what we're trying to say, is that the developers would not be able to create a driver that is ~100% intended for a given specification due to the absence of a proper documentation.
while the ATA driver you're referring to is a "generic" software RAID driver, which is intended to work on __any__ ATA/IDE controllers (similar to the linux software RAID driver). http://people.freebsd.org/~rse/mirror/ thus, all "generic" software RAID drivers are not ~100% specific to a particular model. again, it would work but it's not specific. :) On 2/9/07, Jimmy Lim <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

I don't think so, FreeBSD in my case use ataraid(4), and it's opensource, and working on my "FakeRAID". http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=ataraid&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=FreeBSD+6.2-RELEASE&format=html -- Jimmy B.
