NAME
     arcmsr -- Areca RAID Controller driver

SYNOPSIS
     To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file:

	   device pci
	   device scbus
	   device da
	   device arcmsr

     Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5):

	   arcmsr_load="YES"

DESCRIPTION
     The arcmsr 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 pro-
     vided via the SCSI CAM /dev/da? device nodes.  A management interface is also present via the /dev/arcmsr? device node.  Management tools for
     i386 and amd64 are available from Areca.
