+by Greg Oster in 1998, who has maintained it since.
+In 1999, component labels, spares, automatic rebuilding of parity, and
+autoconfiguration of volumes were added.
+In 2000, root on RAID support was added (initially, with no support for
+loading kernels from RAID volumes, which has been added to many ports since.)
+In 2009, support for parity bimap was added, reducing parity resync time

+In 2010, support for larger the 2TiB and non-512 sector devices was added.
