The following commands are supported: .Bl -tag -width "rebuild" .It Ic attach Attach an ATA .Ar channel , devices on the channel are probed and attached as is done on boot. .It Ic detach Detach an ATA .Ar channel , devices on the channel are removed from the kernel, and all outstanding transfers etc. are returned back to the system marked as failed. .It Ic reinit Reinitialize an ATA .Ar channel . Both devices on the channel are reset and initialized to the parameters the ATA driver has stored internally. Devices that has gone bad and no longer responds to the probe, or devices that has physically been removed are removed from the kernel. Likewise are devices that show up during a reset, probed and attached. .It Ic create Create a .Ar type ATA RAID. The Type can be RAID0 (stripe), RAID1 (mirror), RAID0+1 or SPAN (JBOD). In case the RAID has a RAID0 component the .Ar interleave must be specified in number of sectors. The RAID will be created of the individual disks named .Ar disk0 ... diskN. .Pp Allthough the ATA driver allows for creating an ATA RAID on disks on any controller, there are restrictions. It is only possible to boot on an array if its either located on a "real" ATA RAID controller like the Promise or Highpoint controllers, or if the RAID declared is of RAID1 or SPAN type, in case of a SPAN the partition to boot must reside on the first disk in the SPAN. .It Ic delete Deletes a RAID array on a RAID capable ATA controller. .It Ic rebuild Rebuild a RAID1 array on a RAID capable ATA controller. .It Ic status Get the status of an ATA RAID. .It Ic mode Without the two mode arguments the current transfer modes of both devices are printed. If the mode arguments are given, the ATA driver is asked to change the transfer modes to those given. The ATA driver will reject modes that is not supported by the hardware. Modes are given like .Dq Li PIO3 , .Dq Li udma2 , .Dq Li udma100 , case does not matter. If one of the devices mode should not be changed, use a nonexisting mode as argument (i.e.\& .Dq Li XXX ) , and the mode will remain unchanged. .It Ic info Show info about the attached devices on the .Ar channel , the device name and manufacture/version strings are shown. .It Ic cap Show detailed info about the device on .Ar channel device where device is 0 for master and 1 for slave. .It Ic enclosure Show detailed info about the encolsure on .Ar channel device where device is 0 for master and 1 for slave. Fan RPM speed, enclosure temperature, 5V and 12V levels are shown. .It Ic list Show info about all attached devices on all active controllers. .El .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr ata 4 .Sh HISTORY The .Nm utility first appeared in .Fx 4.6 . .Sh AUTHORS .An -nosplit The .Nm utility was written by .An S\(/oren Schmidt .Aq sos@FreeBSD.org . .Pp This manual page was written by .An S\(/oren Schmidt .Aq sos@FreeBSD.org .
