Hi, a few days ago I looked through the LINT file of the stable kernel sources and wondered if the "iir" RAID device would also support the ICP vortex line of RAID controllers (INTEL recently bought the manufacturer ICP and with it its whole productline of controllers) So I asked one of the contacts for the "iir" named in the LINT - achim.leubner@intel.com - if ICP Vortex controllers are also supported.. Achim had this to say.. ---snip--- Hello Kai, the "iir" driver supports the ICP vortex controller line AND the intel controller line. You must not use another ICP specific driver.

I found the following in the LINT file of the freebsd kernel sources.. --snip-- # # Intel Integrated RAID controllers. # This driver was developed and is maintained by Intel. Contacts # at Intel for this driver are # "Kannanthanam, Boji T" <boji.t.kannanthanam@intel.com> and # "Leubner, Achim" <achim.leubner@intel.com>. # device iir --snip-- Proposal: The "iir" comment section of the LINT file in stable should mention that ICP vortex controllers are also supported by the "iir" driver.
