Gurney, Hey ... yes, I recall there being issues with the QLogic drivers ... I wonder if anyone has given the mpt drivers a shot? I was able to speak with an engineer at Engenio (now owned by LSI) and she said there were some issues with the QLogic dual-port cards that were interesting to her, bu

GEOM for multipath? How?

2005-11-09 Thread Danny Howard

2000-03-15 Thread Danny Howard
hi. i have a production system with an ncr0 SCSI controller that's pretty weak. I would like to add an adaptec, which comes in as ahc0. The problem is that when I add the ahc0 in to the system, it comes up ahead of the ncr0, and so the system disk is labeled da1, and .. well .. there are ways t
