30.El
31.Pp
32These controllers support RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, JBOD,
33and superpositions of those configurations.
34.Pp
35Although the controllers are actual RAID controllers,
36the driver makes them look just like SCSI controllers.
37All RAID configuration is done through the controllers' BIOSes.
38.Pp
39Monitoring status for the volume and drives in it is done through the
40.Xr bioctl 8
41utility;
42the current status is provided by the
43.Xr sysctl 8
44variable
45.Va hw.sensors .
