DESCRIPTION
This driver is for the Promise Supertrak SX6000 ATA hardware RAID
controller. It supports (in hardware) RAID levels 0, 1, 0+1, 3, 5 and
JBOD on up to 6 ATA disk drives, including automatic rebuild and hotswap,
and supports signalling disk status on LEDs on Promise Superswap disk
enclosures. The Supertrak line of controllers does not support non-disk
devices.

need to be set up from the onboard BIOS. However, hot swap, hot spare,
and automatic rebuilds are supported without a reboot.
