83 utility is a control program that provides the user access and control to the
91 can cause severe system crashes and loss of data if used improperly.
93 exercise caution when using this command!
97 argument is the ATA channel device (e.g., ata0) on which to operate.
98 The following commands are supported:
99 .Bl -tag -width "rebuild"
103 Devices on the channel are probed and attached as
108 Devices on the channel are removed from the kernel,
109 and all outstanding transfers etc.\& are returned back to the system marked
114 Both devices on the channel are reset and
115 initialized to the parameters the ATA driver has stored internally.
116 Devices that have gone bad and no longer respond to the probe, or devices
117 that have physically been removed, are removed from the kernel.
118 Likewise are devices that show up during a reset, probed and attached.
132 In case the RAID has a
137 must be specified in number of sectors.
138 The RAID will be created
139 of the individual disks named
141 .Ar disk0 ... diskN .
146 driver allows for creating an ATA RAID on disks with any controller,
147 there are restrictions.
148 It is only possible to boot on an array if it is either located on a
150 ATA RAID controller like
151 the Promise or Highpoint controllers, or if the RAID declared is of
157 the partition to boot must
158 reside on the first disk in the SPAN.
160 Delete a RAID array on a RAID capable ATA controller.
162 Add a spare disk to an existing RAID.
164 Rebuild a RAID1 array on a RAID capable ATA controller.
166 Get the status of an ATA RAID.
168 Without the mode argument, the current transfer modes of the
170 If the mode argument is given, the
172 driver is asked to change the transfer mode to the one given.
175 driver will reject modes that are not supported by the hardware.
180 case does not matter.
182 Currently supported modes are:
183 .Cm PIO0 , PIO1 , PIO2 , PIO3 , PIO4 ,
198 The device name and manufacture/version strings are shown.
200 Show detailed info about the device on
203 Set disk drive features.
208 features are supported.
209 .Bl -tag -width "acoustic"
210 .It Ar acoustic soundsupplevel
211 Controls the disk drive Acoustic Management level.
216 which will turn off acoustic management,
218 to optimize for maximum performance,
220 to optimize for maximum quiet, or a numeric level
222 The higher the numeric level, the higher the
223 theoretical sound level emitted from the drive.
224 Note that few devices support this command and even fewer will allow the
225 range of levels supported.
227 Sets the disk drive Advanced Power Management (APM) level.
228 This command is generally used on laptop (notebook) hard disks to control
229 the power level consumed by the drive (at the expense of performance).
233 may be set to one of:
239 (optimize for maximum performance or minimum power, respectively), or
240 a numeric level which can be 0 to 127 inclusive indicating an increasing
241 level of performance over power savings.
242 The numeric levels may be prefixed by
244 which will allow the drive to include suspension as part of the
246 Note that not all hard drives will support the
248 command, and that the number of incremental power savings levels
249 do not typically have as wide of a range as this command will
253 Show info about the attached devices on the
256 Show info about all attached devices on all active controllers.
259 To get information on devices attached to a channel,
260 use the command line:
262 .Dl "natacontrol info ata0"
264 To see the devices' current access modes, use the command line:
266 .Dl "natacontrol mode ad0"
268 which results in the modes of the devices being displayed as a string
271 .Dl "current mode = UDMA100"
273 You can set the mode with
275 and a string like the above,
278 .Dl "natacontrol mode ad0 PIO4"
280 The new modes are set as soon as the
