LSI itself identifies that h/w with chip=0x00731000 as "Drake Skinny". As per my conversation with Scott Long some time ago, "the current driver in FreeBSD will work adequately for every MegaRAID SAS card except the "Skinny" and "Drake" models. There are some serious bugs in the code provided by LSI. First, they assume that only one adapter will be present in the system, and store per-instance data in a set of global variables." I don't know personally if something has changes since then. -- wbr, pluknet
