To complement the man pages, the supported hardware pages and what
I've found in the archives on marc, I'd be interested to read any SAS
HBA recommendations people might have.
I'm looking at some used Sun x4150 servers which have 8-lane PCIe
slots but come with no built-in SAS/SATA controller. I'd be
interested in running RAID 10 with a hot spare and I'd like to make
use of an OpenBSD driver that supports bioctl. (I'm assuming OpenBSD
runs on x4150s - the armorlogic site only lists Opteron Galaxy servers)
I'm also curious about why vastly more RAID controllers are supported
in the i386 port than the amd64 port. Is this because a lot of them
aren't 64bit clean? Do some people as a result choose to run the
i386 port on em64t hardware?
