When searching for FreeBSD support for the Promise 20265r (FastTrack RAID, ATA100, integrated on some mainboards), I came across this, it looks like a FreeBSD RAID driver for this controller. It doesn't seem to be an official released driver, this is the only place I've seen it, and the copyright message in some source files appear to forbid any distribution. It might be worth asking Promise if they plan to release a FreeBSD driver shortly though. It's build for FreeBSD 4.2-RELEASE, but it appears to compile on 4.4-STABLE fine, and since the source is included it shouldn't be difficult to update. I only glanced through the source files, since (nearly) no documentation is provided. If we could get this under BSD license, we might be able to provide real support for the FastTrack RAID (i.e. not simply as IDE controller). I've not been able to test it yet (don't have a FastTrack ATM). The URL of the website: http://www.gigabytenetworking.com/info/DriverDowload.asp (typo is not mine) The driver is at: http://www.gigabytenetworking.com/GBT_Download/Drivers/ft_freeBSD42.tgz Just my 0.02 euro.
