Ed, Your work-around works on 7-stable as of this morning. I have quite a few 2200S equipped systems that I am transitioning from 6.X to 7-stable and aaccli is necessary to be able to insert/remove drives and initialize them into storage arrays. sysutils/arcconf says it needs

The diff applied cleanly except for the __FBSDID(). With this new revision, I can still run batch scripts as shown below and get the correct output from aaccli. Unfortunately, if you manually invoke aaccli and type in open aac0, all terminal input is locked. The only way to recover the

I'm seeing some regressions in the various management tools for Adaptec AAC cards on FreeBSD 7.0-RC1 amd64. I'm trying to use both the 32-bit FreeBSD aaccli binary from the sysutils/aaccli port, and also the 64-bit FreeBSD arcconf from the sysutils/arcconf port (v5.20.17414). The card is an
