(perhaps these guys should have worked together :-) We are successfully running this on 4.10R on a few machines, but as with Jan's patch this does not address all the issues. Specifically re-synchronizing takes days and disk performance is noticeably reduced during re-syncing. However once the mirror is synchronized performance is great and the driver has been extremely stable without any issues to date. The mpt driver needs a new maintainer. I would love to see this driver finished and fully support thie LSI 1030 in IM mode. I would even pay to get someone to complete this and have it committed to future releases of FreeBSD. (anyone interested?). I've not tried this patch against 5.3, however it applies cleanly to 4.9 and 4.10. --Nikolai > Hi, anyone have success story, making this hardware work well.

Here's the summary: 1) A vendor just sold me a server with a 'HighPoint RocketRaid 1640', 4 =20= channel SATA RAID. http://www.highpoint-tech.com/USA/rr1640.htm 2) The HighPoint folks support FreeBSD, distributing drivers and =20 management tools 3) Doing the driver install when installing on boot volumes totally =20 BITES, it's very time consuming and tricky, and I don't even have =20 floppy drives on my servers any more... (/me wails and gnashes teeth) 4) The RAID card is much like similar 3Ware stuff, (it presents itself =20= more like a scsi device to the OS- =46rom the manual: "if you have no =20= other SCSI device, the first device is /dev/da0, then /dev/da1, etc." =20= Another thing that looks good about the card is that it's got sysctl =20 calls for management, e.g.: # sysctl hpt374.status -and- # sysctl =96w hpt374.status=3D=93hpt rebuild a,b,0=94 -etc- 5) The RAID card is known to be quite solid, and the vendor who sold it =20= to me has loads of them out there- so, I concluded that it would be =20 really sweet if the driver were in the FreeBSD source- these cards are =20= pretty inexpensive (around $100), and would allow more people to use =20 RAID in places they would never have before, IMHO... I think it would =20= be great if these drivers were there much like the aac drivers for =20 Adaptec RAID stuff. -- More details are below with regard to my take on the situation, but I'd =20= really love to hear yall's thoughts on this. I'd love to see the =20 driver reach the FreeBSD source trees, but I'm not close enough to =20 committers to know if this is sane or relevant... Thanks, and happy holidays all!
