Marvell 88SE9230 AHCI SATA controller

[h410g3n]

Hello list,

I am the unfortunate owner of a few Supermicro servers that contain
Marvell 88SE9230 chips.

OpenBSD does detect them, however they get stuck in a softreset loop.

"ahci0: failed to stop port, cannot softreset"

A quick search reveals that the problem has been reported before and
that other operating systems had to put in some sort of delay workaround
because the chips don't follow the AHCI specs perfectly.

Reference: http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.os.openbsd.misc/208667

I was wondering if someone has some sort of unofficial kernel patch or
could point me in the correct direction (other than "don't buy these
servers" -- too late).

Thank you.

LibreSSL and code signing

Hey,

Are there any plans to signify the new tarball, or PGP sign it?

I'd like to be sure that I don't get smacked by the quantum hand (if you
know what I mean).

Thanks.

Re: sshfs as non-root: fuse_mount: Permission denied

This is probably why...

% ls -lao /dev/fuse0
crw---  1 root  wheel  -  92,   0 Jul  5 05:38 /dev/fuse0

I just donated money to pay for the developer's time in responding to
this useless thread. =P

nginx gzip crippled?

[h410g3n]

Hey all,

Can someone tell me why nginx's "gzip on" option doesn't work in 5.5
release?

Thanks.
