My guess is that the hardware supports the large payload, but that the BIOS isn't representing it properly. I was looking at some other PCIe chipset specs and came across some documents commenting that many early devices didn't support a payload over 256 bytes. So the problem could easily be that the sil3132 chip is causing the hiccup on a larger payload, not the RS690 PCIe controller. Of course, without more detailed spec on either component this is pure conjecture but it seems to match the behavior you observed. -B -- Brandon High [EMAIL PROTECTED] "The good is the enemy of the best." - Nietzsche _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
