But I found some topics about driver problems. What kind of SAS controllers are best choice for FreeBSD 6.2? What do you say about these chipsets: LSI 1064/1068 (Intel box) and Adaptec AIC-9410 (Supermicro box). Are they compatible with FreeBSD 6.2? Do they work stable with FreeBSD 6.2? Or maybe you can suggest another chipsets?

The manual page says it "reads data from the special file until all blocks could be successfully read." Thus, wouldn't this one bad block/sector leave a (sparse) hole in the image it creates (and require a ^C to stop recoverdisk), assuming the [p]read(2) always returns EIO? > You could pull off as many blocks as you can into a file that is an image > of the drive, and then dd that image back over the drive itself. Writing a block of zeroes over the unreadable sector? Does this simply/correctly clear an inode, zero out part of a file, make any files where st_nlink=3D1 in a directory unusable/unallocated, or make the fs use alternate superblocks, as appropriate? Assuming a ufs fs, would all the unallocated inodes/files be recoverable (to ./lost+found) by fsck? (Would an mdsdos fs fare any better, or worse?) Sorry for all the questions, but I just finished a program that stat(2)s a list of files and read(2)s as much as it can of each file. If a bad sector does cause EIO, I suppose reporting that immediately would help find such (blatant) media errors. Since it doesn't read special files, I assume using phk's recoverdisk strategy of 512B reads will just give me a bit more of the file beyond the last good 64kB chunk/read. As this can only benefit my application, I'll go ahead and implement it and hope I don't have a good way to test it except maybe on old, unwanted floppy disks.

The HP P600 (PCI-X) and P800 (PCI-e) are supported by the cciss driver.

FreeBSD-stable works stable just with scsi queue set in 1 (camcontrol tags .. -N 1, configuration - SMP, PAE) Otherwise, it gets kernel panic sooner or later, depends on disk activity. Could you please tell of mpt driver status ? I see, -current gets active developement of the driver since last year. Is it stable enough? Do you plan to backport new mpt versions to -stable? When if so ? Thank you, Mikhail.

However, I'd suggest looking at the structures and code in /sys/dev/mfi for some hints. Not all of the DCMD's are there to do everything and which structures they need to use. So to do everything is going to be hard. The Linux MegaCli does some things but I found some feature don't work like creating and deleting a RAID. There is also an issue that the FreeBSD driver doesn't have support handle this nicely yet. There are some ideas on how to do this and it isn't very difficult. In theory with the Linux 2.6 emulation work we might be able to run more of the Linux tools. There are some loose end WRT signal notification of AEN's to the user-land that the Linux driver provides.
