The following reply was made to PR sparc64/162513; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Marius Strobl <marius@alchemy.franken.de> To: Rory Arms <rorya+freebsd.org@TrueStep.com> Cc: freebsd-gnats-submit@freebsd.org Subject: Re: sparc64/162513: mpt(4), mptutil(8) reports variable, erroneous drive information Date: Sun, 13 Nov 2011 12:58:12 +0100 This is a known issue; mptutil(8) isn't endian-clean (actually the IOCTL- interface of mpt(4) is little-endian even on big-endian architectures and actually also should stay that way as otherwise we would need to add code to the driver to convert all possible configuration pages, which doesn't make sense), which requires a non-trivial amount of work to fix. That mptutil(8) is working that much in it's current state actually is really amazing. For now you're probably better off using the software RAID equivalent. Marius
