+RAIDframe was ported to

+by Greg Oster in 1998, who has maintained it since.
+In 1999, component labels, spares, automatic rebuilding of parity, and
+autoconfiguration of volumes were added.
+In 2000, root on RAID support was added (initially, with no support for
+loading kernels from RAID volumes, which has been added to many ports since.)
+In 2009, support for parity bimap was added, reducing parity resync time
+after a crash.
+In 2010, support for larger the 2TiB and non-512 sector devices was added.
+In 2018, support for 32-bit userland compatibility was added.
+In 2021, support for autoconfiguration from other-endian raid sets was added.

+Support for loading kernels from RAID 1 partitions was added for the

+the x86 ports in 2003, the arc port in 2005, the landisk, sparc, and
+sparc64 ports in 2006, the cobalt port in 2007, the ofppc port in 2008,
