I just found mpt-status in Linux and wondered how much work it would be to have a simlar functionality in FreeBSD. I was thinking about some possible ways: - porting mpt-status + kernel code from Linux to FreeBSD (as in rewrite, because GPL !=3D BSD) =3D> Much work I guess - Modifying FreeBSD's mpt to export same information in same format =3D> Should be possible, if the mpt drivers already knows about the status - Create freebsd-mpt-status tool that reads freebsds mpt driver information, if already available =3D> Sounds like the best solution for me So my questions now are: - Is the needed information (online drives, status of arrays) already in th= e driver? o If not, did anyone try to use the information from the Linux driver to= make mpt from FreeBSD know the same information? o If yes, is the needed information exported to userspace somewhere? Thanks for any hints Nico --=20 Think about Free and Open Source Software (FOSS). http://nico.schottelius.org/documentations/foss/the-term-foss/ PGP: BFE4 C736 ABE5 406F 8F42 F7CF B8BE F92A 9885 188C --LQksG6bCIzRHxTLp Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: Digital signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFGuvxluL75KpiFGIwRAuAXAKC6pSVx0U5+jO7FGf7Cxir3fo6LBQCeOerL VYfi+un1DRAmThsPQtkXDRA= =+6Hl -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --LQksG6bCIzRHxTLp--
