You are right but it seems more cost effective to get a new controller that has support under the mps driver. > Its quite common for big companies to not "officially" support until a > release but that doesn't mean they don't have a fix if you know what I > mean :) I know. The problem with that controller is that for some reason it doesn't like gpart. I have gnoped the drives directly and it seems to be working so far. > In addition to this we're running LSI 2008 based controllers here on > 8.2-RELEASE + manually merged in mps driver with ZFS just fine.
