I see no evidence of this and wanted to hear from anyone who has played with the hardware and a recent driver. Mike Smith's page states he was working with ICP on testing their code but not having much luck with it. The driver database list the status as beta, testers and hardware needed. http://posi.net/freebsd/drivers/driver-info.phtml?ID=21 Can anyone elaborate on this ? we would probably be looking at the GDT6113RS controller which is the Ultra 160 controller. Comments on dealings with ICP themselves would also be welcome.

What sort of environment? Well, I have a number of AccelRAID 352s which are a faster version of the 170 with dual channels. The IOs per second of each card is published on the Mylex web site. You should make sure you can live with that first. No idea how they test, but likely it is based on 100% cache hits. Generally I always install the largest cache possible in RAID controllers, regardless of the application. The stock mly driver is solid, but not a fast performer.

It does not, in fact, have to have a picker, since the HP model is that of a rotating cartridge that presents to a tape. Picker is a misleading name- you have IE, MT, ST, DT elements in a changer. These are Import/Export, Media Transport, Storage Type and Data Transfer elements. All are optional buti n particular, both the MT (picker) and IE elements do not have to be present to have a valid changer. You'll find, btw, that an Archive Python is much the same.

I have two scsi channel, one(0) is configured to as initiator mode, and another(1) is target mode. I modified FreeBSD kernel(4.1) to let target drive behave as a direct-accessed disk.(targctor() T_PROCESSOR --> T_DIRECT). Furthermore, I add READ_6, WRITE_6 opcode in targdone()(original is SEND, RECEIVE), and it runs smoothly. I also modified /usr/src/share/examples/scsi_targ/scsi_target.c to add new ioctl commands to attach another real drive, and get i/o request offset, and length.(If you want to know more detail, I can show what I modified.) Then, I use "scsi_targ -o /dev/ad0s2b -p 1 -t 8 -l 0" to enable channel 1 as target mode.(I modified "-o" option to let input, output files are the same) I can use "camcontrol rescan 0" to rescan bus 0, then I get a scsi da drive. I try to use sysinstall to open and issue i/o request to the drive, however, I found that the issued i/o request's residual is not zero. It's code stack is ahc_intr() ---> ahc_run_qoutfifo() ---> if (scb->hscb->residual_SG_count != 0) ahc_calc_residual(scb) ---> resid = hscb->residual_data_count[2] << 16 .... .... and it's value is not zero. If scb->ccb->csio.resid = resid is not zero, the i/o request will be failed (it's set in dadone()), then open drive fail. Does anyone know who will set residual_data_count[0-2]? and how to set that? In my opinion, I think sequencer should update these values automatically, and targetmode driver should inform initiator sequencer to update these values. Actually, I have no idea about that, if you have some information or document about that, or you know where I am wrong.

I think they always thought I wanted to use their source base, and they never really understood why I would not want to do so, so could not get their heads around the idea that I would write it from scratch. The Tachyon is a fun chip, but buggy as all hell. I'd much prefer to write one for emulex....

Qlogic is the same way. It takes a while to convince them that you *can* sign an NDA for their documents as long as it's clear what you can or cannot release in terms of an open source driver. > > The Tachyon is a fun chip, but buggy as all hell.

Another problem with Linux is that the historically best distributions (such as Debian) have no corporate accountability, while the commercially popular distributions (such as Red Hat) are buggy-as-hell and dumbed-down.

Unfortunately, it is lacking in most of the required source. Emulex has a "portable" common portion. The lunix code is clearly based on this "portable" common portion. The code for this is missing. Emulex has invested significant time and $$ and effort in getting the common portion to where it is, and they probably have good reasons for not releasing it, although I don't really understand them.
