Do I really have to switch to Linux? Try the FreeBSD 6.2 release. I'm also having problems with my LSI 1030 under 6.3, but it is working perfectly under 6.2. I guess this has something to do with the new mpt driver wich has many "improvements" in 6.3 and 7.0. -- Kind regards, Marko Kobal.

Yes, linux performs better at 'dd' in the non-cache case because linux sends larger i/o's down to the controller than freebsd does. This difference matters little when doing real file i/o. So no, you don't have to switch to linux, and no, linux doesn't actually perform better. This has been discussed many times on this and other mailing lists. Sorry for being grumpy.

I'm aware of your MPT problem and I understand the basic thing that is wrong, but I don't yet have a quick solution for you. I'm still working on it. In the mean time, I urge you to swap your cables and check your termination to ensure that this isn't a false problem on your end.

As I said in my previous email, it's a driver problem that I'm trying to understand and solve. However, it might actually be a symptom of a hardware problem on your end that wasn't being detected with 6.2 but is with 6.3 and 7.0.

Unfortunately, it doesn't have an eSATA connector. I tested many PATA/SATA to USB convertors and disc enclosures - none of them allowed access to SMART (under FreeBSD, nor Windows).
