I've just committed a port of afaapps to FreeBSD. I should be grateful if you could add this to your extremely useful list of resources. Please pass on my sincere thanks to your colleagues at Dell for providing us with these tools. I've tested the tools with Scott Long's aac(4) driver. This has a passthrough for the ioctls which the afacli tool uses. Version 2.7 of the tools, with a PowerEdge 2400 chassis' Dell PERC 2/Si running firmware 2.1, work perfectly under Linux emulation in FreeBSD 4.9-RC. I understand that Dell do not officially support FreeBSD; members of the Project certainly hope that will change in future, as the forthcoming 5.2 release is looking very promising. I also understand that distribution restrictions exist on Dell software, therefore the port has been marked RESTRICTED (binaries will not be distributed as part of FreeBSD releases), in accordance with Dell's wishes. Kind regards, Bruce M.
