ATAng Driver Preview for FreeBSD

Posted by michael on from the some-data-corruption-expected dept.

Dan writes "Soeren Schmidt announces the availability of the first preview release of ATAng drivers for FreeBSD. Before these rather radical changes to the ATA driver hits the tree, here is the opportunity to test them out, give useful feedback and for the depending subsytems to adjust to the new ways of things (burncd & atapicam are good examples). These drivers provide the framework for supporting new ATA controllers that have facilities for chaining commands and HW XOR's etc. These changes also facilitate merge of ATA and ATAPI code, as well make full use of fx Promise's new chips."

    This driver worked great for me - performance was incredible on my laptop. I loaded up the disk as much as I could and everything still ran smooth as silk. Give it a try, contribute to FreeBSD's legendary stability. :)

    Highlight here is that I will be finally able to use the RAID controllers on my MB's rather than using just vinum
