Hi Michael, > aac0 at pci2 dev 1 function 0 "Adaptec ASR-2200S" rev 0x01: > Dell CERC-SATA apic 3 int 0 (irq 10)
Trash your aac(4) hardware and use softraid(4). At least that's what i'm doing right now. For details, see my postings in the misc@ archives a few years back. In a nutshell: insufficient docs, thus incomplete support; buggy firmware, thus unreliable with any operating system; Adaptec does not want customers using free software in the full sense of the word. They do write huge Linux drivers covering up the worst bugs in scary ways, but management is only provided by an unwieldy non-standard vendor-supplied Linux-only interactive stand-alone tool, and there is no bioctl(8) support. That said, during the last few years, there have been a few commits in OpenBSD aac(4), but the basic mess is still the same. At this point, my impression is nobody cares about Adaptac SATA RAID any longer round here, and definitely, people decided long ago that crap is not worth any kind of reverse engineering. Besides, the 2200 is about the least powerful Adaptec SATA RAID card out there, so throwing it away is certainly not a big loss. Yours, Ingo
