The SCSI-card in the X4200 is a Sun Single Channel U320 card that came with the system, but the PCB artwork does sport a nice 'LSI LOGIC' imprint. So, just to make sure we're talking about the same thing here - your drives are SATA, you're exporting each drive through the Western Scientific raidbox as a seperate volume, and zfs actually brings in a hot spare when you pull a drive? Over here, I've still not been able to accomplish that - even after installing Nevada b76 on the machine, removing a disk will not cause a hot-spare to become active, nor does resilvering start. Our Transtec raidbox seems to be based on a chipset by Promise, by the way.
