It means that all legacy ATA drivers were + removed and replaced by respective CAM drivers. If you are using + ATA device names in /etc/fstab or other places, make sure to update + them respectively (adX -> adaY, acdX -> cdY, afdX -> daY, astX -> saY, + where 'Y's are the sequential numbers for each type in order of + detection, unless configured otherwise with tunables, see cam(4)). + + ataraid(4) functionality is now supported by the RAID GEOM class. + To use it you can load geom_raid kernel module and use graid(8) tool + for management. Instead of /dev/arX device names, use /dev/raid/rX. + + No kernel config options or code have been removed, so if a problem + arises, please report it and optionally revert to the old ATA stack. + In order to do it you can remove from the kernel config: + options ATA_CAM + device ahci + device mvs + device siis + , and instead add back: + device atadisk # ATA disk drives + device ataraid # ATA RAID drives + device atapicd # ATAPI CDROM drives + device atapifd # ATAPI floppy drives + device atapist # ATAPI tape drives + options ATA_STATIC_ID # Static device numbering + 20110423: The default NFS server has been changed to the new server, which was referred to as the experimental server.
