1 This driver is for Compaq's SMART2 Intelligent Disk Array Controllers.
6 This driver is known to work with the following cards:
16 * Integrated Smart Array Controller
22 It should also work with some really old Disk array adapters, but I am
23 unable to test against these cards:
33 If you want to use an EISA controller you'll have to supply some
34 modprobe/lilo parameters. If the driver is compiled into the kernel, must
35 give it the controller's IO port address at boot time (it is not
36 necessary to specify the IRQ). For example, if you had two SMART-2/E
37 controllers, in EISA slots 1 and 2 you'd give it a boot argument like
42 If you were loading the driver as a module, you'd give load it like this:
44 modprobe cpqarray eisa=0x1000,0x2000
46 You can use EISA and PCI adapters at the same time.
52 You need some entries in /dev for the ida device. MAKEDEV in the /dev
53 directory can make device nodes for you automatically. The device setup is

74 The device naming scheme is:
75 /dev/ida/c0d0 Controller 0, disk 0, whole device
76 /dev/ida/c0d0p1 Controller 0, disk 0, partition 1
77 /dev/ida/c0d0p2 Controller 0, disk 0, partition 2
78 /dev/ida/c0d0p3 Controller 0, disk 0, partition 3
80 /dev/ida/c1d1 Controller 1, disk 1, whole device
81 /dev/ida/c1d1p1 Controller 1, disk 1, partition 1
82 /dev/ida/c1d1p2 Controller 1, disk 1, partition 2
83 /dev/ida/c1d1p3 Controller 1, disk 1, partition 3
