💅 TWE(4) — like, the whole manual page, bestie 💅

okay so real talk: this is the twe(4) page from the Kernel Interfaces Manual, and honestly? it's short, it's sweet, and it's giving "RAID controller that just works." let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

twe — the 3ware Escalade RAID controller driver, no cap. that's the whole name section, she's lowkey minimal and we respect it 💖

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

twe* at pci? dev ? function ?

literally just that one line, bestie. she attaches at pci? with dev ? and function ? — the question marks are doing their whole "match literally anything" main character thing 😌

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so the twe driver provides support for the 3ware Escalade family of RAID controllers. iconic. no notes. 👑

supported models include:

  • series 5000
  • series 6000
  • series 7000
  • series 8000

and the attached disk arrays? they're supported by the ld driver. so twe handles the controller vibe and ld handles the disks — a collab, a crossover episode, we love to see it 💜

🎀 SEE ALSO 🎀

go read those too, iykyk 📚✨

🌈 HISTORY 🌈

the twe driver first appeared in NetBSD 1.5.3, and was based on the FreeBSD driver of the same name. so she's a NetBSD girlie with FreeBSD roots — lineage, honestly 🧚‍♀️

ngl if you're out here running one of these controllers, you're kinda the main character of your own dmesg 🌟

and that's the whole page! this beauty lived in the Debian build of the manual, dated May 10, 2004 — yes, 2004, she's vintage and she ate 💅🍓 byeee! 💖
