Hi Matthew,

No problems.  Ken Merry replied with some info that helped.

Ok.  I was using a generic kernel that doesn't have the f/w
compiled in by default.  I rebuilt the kernel with the 2200 f/w compiled
in and included Ken's patch and the machine now recognises the drives.  It
also thinks the first LUN is a disk but gets an error trying to access it.

The other two LUNS which really are disks now work fine.

I get the following from rawio

bash-2.04# ./rawio -a -I ESS-FC -v 1 /dev/da1c
Test    ID           K/sec          /sec %User    %Sys  %Total

SR   ESS-FC        21633.9         1320    0.4     9.7    10.1  16384
RW   ESS-FC         5498.9          340    0.2     2.6     2.8  16384
SW   ESS-FC        18207.9         1111    0.3     8.3     8.6  16384

Well the Shark doesn't natively support FC yet so we're using a "SAN Data
Gateway" to map SCSI LUNS to FC LUNS.  Native FC support for the Shark is
expected soon so I'd expect better performance when it does.


Thanks


Carl.
