| Probably not. I noted this when I originally filed the PR for

I find this hard to believe and in my experience with a fresh download
from LSI's web-site the FreeBSD and Linux variants work just fine
on my PERC5's for things like -AdpAllInfo. There is no real firmware
interface difference between between the PERC5 and PERC6. So I don't
know where you get this from. Specifics in which things are broken
could be nice so I can look at getting them fixed. I put in the
management ioctl path that they use into FreeBSD a long time ago.
They did find some bugs in some new management features that are
fixed in 7.1 and I need to merge back to 6. Unfortunately, this work
happened after the last 6.X version was released :-(
Sorry, I missed this reply originally, but it is a 6 vs. 7 issue. On
6.3p9 (MegaCli is native, megacli is linux-):
[smca...@web01 ~]$ sudo MegaCli -AdpAllInfo -aALL
Exit Code: 0x00
[smca...@web01 ~]$ sudo megacli -AdpAllInfo -aALL
Adapter #0
==============================================================================
Versions
================
Product Name : PERC 5/i Integrated
Serial No : 12345
FW Package Build: 5.2.2-0072
....
What's the ports@ policy for things like this? I know I'm pretty peeved
that openntpd was pushed to 4.x, which requires >7. Fresh installs of
6.x require me to pkg_create from a donor system or come up with a
backdated ports tree and I really don't want megacli to be in the same boat.
