Cool, it works then. Why was the info removed from the sysctl mib?
mpt0: Enabling SATA WC on phy 0
mpt0: Enabling SATA WC on phy 1
Bonnie++ is showing me about 24MB/s writes and 70MB/s reads.
Is any of this verbose stuff problematic?
mpt0: No Handlers For Any Event Notify Frames. Event 0xa (ACK not required).
mpt0: No Handlers For Any Event Notify Frames. Event 0x16 (ACK not required).
mpt0: No Handlers For Any Event Notify Frames. Event 0x12 (ACK not required).
mpt0: No Handlers For Any Event Notify Frames. Event 0x12 (ACK not required).
mpt0: No Handlers For Any Event Notify Frames. Event 0x16 (ACK not required).
mpt0: No Handlers For Any Event Notify Frames. Event 0xb (ACK not required).
And is any of this info found at boot-time accessible while the system is
running?
mpt0:vol0(mpt0:0:0): Settings ( Hot-Plug-Spares High-Priority-ReSync )

Thanks,

ps - would it kill Dell to make a damn ISO of a bootable media for RAID
controller firmware upgrades??? I don't even own anything with a floppy
drive anymore.
