Please exercise caution when using this command! .Pp The .Ar channel argument is the ATA channel device (e.g., ata0) on which to operate. The following commands are supported: .Bl -tag -width "rebuild" .It Ic attach Attach an ATA .Ar channel . Devices on the channel are probed and attached as is done on boot. .It Ic detach Detach an ATA .Ar channel . Devices on the channel are removed from the kernel, and all outstanding transfers etc.\& are returned back to the system marked as failed. .It Ic reinit Reinitialize an ATA .Ar channel . Both devices on the channel are reset and initialized to the parameters the ATA driver has stored internally. Devices that have gone bad and no longer respond to the probe, or devices that have physically been removed, are removed from the kernel. Likewise are devices that show up during a reset, probed and attached. .It Ic create Create a .Ar type ATA RAID. The type can be .Cm RAID0 (stripe), .Cm RAID1 (mirror), .Cm RAID0+1 , .Cm SPAN or .Cm JBOD . In case the RAID has a .Cm RAID0 component, the .Ar interleave must be specified in number of sectors. The RAID will be created of the individual disks named .Bk -words .Ar disk0 ... diskN . .Ek .Pp Although the .Xr nata 4 driver allows for creating an ATA RAID on disks with any controller, there are restrictions. It is only possible to boot on an array if it is either located on a .Dq real ATA RAID controller like the Promise or Highpoint controllers, or if the RAID declared is of .Cm RAID1 or .Cm SPAN type; in case of a .Cm SPAN , the partition to boot must reside on the first disk in the SPAN. .It Ic delete Delete a RAID array on a RAID capable ATA controller. .It Ic addspare Add a spare disk to an existing RAID. .It Ic rebuild Rebuild a RAID1 array on a RAID capable ATA controller. .It Ic status Get the status of an ATA RAID. .It Ic mode Without the mode argument, the current transfer modes of the device are printed. If the mode argument is given, the .Xr nata 4 driver is asked to change the transfer mode to the one given. The .Xr nata 4 driver will reject modes that are not supported by the hardware. Modes are given like .Dq Li PIO3 , .Dq Li udma2 , .Dq Li udma100 , case does not matter. .Pp Currently supported modes are: .Cm PIO0 , PIO1 , PIO2 , PIO3 , PIO4 , .Cm WDMA2 , .Cm UDMA2 (alias .Cm UDMA33 ) , .Cm UDMA4 (alias .Cm UDMA66 ) , .Cm UDMA5 (alias .Cm UDMA100 ) and .Cm UDMA6 (alias .Cm UDMA133 ) . The device name and manufacture/version strings are shown. .It Ic cap Show detailed info about the device on .Ar device . .It Ic feature Set disk drive features. Currently, .Ar acoustic and .Ar apm features are supported. .Bl -tag -width "acoustic" .It Ar acoustic soundsupplevel Controls the disk drive Acoustic Management level. The .Ar soundsupplevel may be set to .Cm off which will turn off acoustic management, .Cm maxperf to optimize for maximum performance, .Cm maxquiet to optimize for maximum quiet, or a numeric level from 0 to 124. The higher the numeric level, the higher the theoretical sound level emitted from the drive. Note that few devices support this command and even fewer will allow the range of levels supported. .It Ar apm apmlevel Sets the disk drive Advanced Power Management (APM) level. This command is generally used on laptop (notebook) hard disks to control the power level consumed by the drive (at the expense of performance). .Pp The .Ar apmlevel may be set to one of: .Cm off (turn off APM), .Cm maxperf or .Cm minpower (optimize for maximum performance or minimum power, respectively), or a numeric level which can be 0 to 127 inclusive indicating an increasing level of performance over power savings. The numeric levels may be prefixed by .Cm s which will allow the drive to include suspension as part of the power savings. Note that not all hard drives will support the .Cm off command, and that the number of incremental power savings levels do not typically have as wide of a range as this command will support. .El .It Ic info Show info about the attached devices on the .Ar channel . .It Ic list Show info about all attached devices on all active controllers. .El .Sh EXAMPLES To get information on devices attached to a channel, use the command line: .Pp .Dl "natacontrol info ata0" .Pp To see the devices' current access modes, use the command line: .Pp .Dl "natacontrol mode ad0" .Pp which results in the modes of the devices being displayed as a string like this: .Pp .Dl "current mode = UDMA100" .Pp You can set the mode with .Nm and a string like the above, for example: .Pp .Dl "natacontrol mode ad0 PIO4" .Pp The new modes are set as soon as the .Nm command returns. .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr nata 4 .Sh HISTORY The .Nm utility first appeared in .Fx 4.6 and was imported into .Dx 1.7 . .Sh AUTHORS .An -nosplit The .Nm utility was written by .An S\(/oren Schmidt Aq Mt sos@FreeBSD.org . .Pp This manual page was written by .An S\(/oren Schmidt Aq Mt sos@FreeBSD.org .
