I have Installed and do maintain a server which has Adaptec 2410S.
from lspci -v 's output:
01:02.0 RAID bus controller: Adaptec AAC-RAID (rev 01)
Subsystem: Adaptec AAR-2410SA PCI SATA 4ch (Jaguar II)
Flags: bus master, 66MHz, slow devsel, latency 64, IRQ 233
Memory at dc000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=64M]
Expansion ROM at fea00000 [disabled] [size=32K]
Capabilities: [80] Power Management version 2
I don't like it. It works, anyway. I had never experienced any problem with
it, since I installed, but I like 3ware cards better, since they have utils
with it's driver CD, which is capable to interact with its /dev/twaX
controlling device.
I can see the rebuilding status online, I can start rebuild, build hw raid
online, without shutting the OS down and need to get into the bios.
tw_cli is my best friend in this topic ;-)
But for this adaptec sh17, I cannot found any controlling utility.
Adaptec's site seemed kind of chaos to me, and in case if you want to
download sg. from them U need to register through dozens of forms, and you
can double it, if U don't live in US.
(So, maybe they had driver, but I had have no patience.)
Anyway, It works, with etch's builtin aacraid driver, it shows the volume
name I had set up in its bios, etc:
Adaptec aacraid driver (1.1-5[2409]-mh2)
