💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

  • HighPoint's RocketRAID 182x series

🎀 NOTES 🎀

bestie, read this twice: the hptmv driver only works on the i386 and amd64 platforms as it requires a binary blob object from the manufacturer which they only supply for these platforms. The hptmv driver does not work on i386 with pae(4) enabled. 😭

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

⭐ HISTORY ⭐

The hptmv device driver first appeared in FreeBSD 5.3. ✨

👑 AUTHORS 👑

The hptmv device driver was written by HighPoint Technologies, Inc., and ported to FreeBSD by Scott Long. This manual page was written by David E. O'Brien. 🫶

💀 BUGS 💀

The hptmv driver does not support manipulating the RAID from the OS, RAIDs need to be set up from the on-board BIOS. so yeah, no OS-level RAID wrangling here, bestie 🙈
