Hi.

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.
