I find their website > barely usable (both in terms of response time - awful and organization - > also awful). You are probably going to have to get used to resorting to mapping Dell's Linux side of the house to what you know about FreeBSD (as the latter will never be officially supported, even though you will probably find some sympathetic Dell engineers on the mailing lists who do contribute to the project). So I would start at http://linux.dell.com/storage.shtml as well as getting on the mailing lists. > > Does the SAS6 do mirror+stripe?

The 'HEADS UP' post announced the regression was fixed with HEAD (8-CURRENT) r188570 and would be MFC'd to 7-STABLE [3]. Today, I upgraded one of these machines from 7.1-RELEASE-p4 to 7.2-RELEASE-p3, and camcontrol(8) still reports the output above. I found a USENET post [4] from early August reporting the same behavior on 8.0-BETA2. Is this behavior in fact a continued regression? Is manually setting the number of tags with -N the only workaround? Thanks in advance.

As a pre-requisite to controlling the race, I'm moving the CAM bus/device scan to its own private SYSINIT so that its execution is ordered. In practice, it should not affect anything, and systems should continue to boot as normal. That's where I need help in testing. If you have any CAM/SCSI devices that are present when you boot, please test this patch and let me know if it changes anything for you, good or bad. http://people.freebsd.org/~scottl/cam_hook.diff Thanks!
