LSI itself identifies that h/w with chip=3D0x00731000 as "Drake Skinny". As per my conversation with Scott Long some time ago, "the current driver i= n FreeBSD will work adequately for every MegaRAID SAS card except the "Skinny= " and "Drake" models. There are some serious bugs in the code provided by LSI= . First, they assume that only one adapter will be present in the system, and store per-instance data in a set of global variables." I don't know personally if something has changes since then. --=20 wbr, pluknet
