Is there a recommended set of settings on LSI 2008 chips burned IT for 
ZFS?

Looking at the "Global Settings" in the configuration utility there is a 
field labeled "status" whose value can be enabled/disable/error. I don't 
know what to put there or whether it matters.

There are other configuration items across the controller. Other than 
boot order, I don't know if they matter but "I/O Timeout for Block 
Devices" might.

Any recommendation?
