I noted this when I originally filed the PR for linux-megacli2, but the 1.x, 2.x, and 4.x versions support dramatically different hardware lines. As an example, this native version is 4.x and does not support the Dell PERC5. IMO, linux-megacli, linux-megacli2, and megacli should all exist as independent ports. -- Sean McAfee System Engineer Collaborative Fusion, Inc. smcafee@collaborativefusion.com 412-422-3463 x 4025 5849 Forbes Avenue Pittsburgh, PA 15217 **************************************************************** IMPORTANT: This message contains confidential information and is intended only for the individual named.
