        I'm about to try it!  My LSI SAS 9211-8i should arrive Monday or

        $ and buy Adaptec 2247000-R SAS to SATA cables.

        My rig will be based off of fairly new kit, so it should be
        interesting
        to see how 2009.06 deals with it all :)


    As far as I recall, the chip on that card is
    supported with the mpt_sas(7d) driver, not the
    mp(7d) driver.

    It won't, however, be detected by a 2009.06
    installation, since that was based on build snv_111b,
    and the mpt_sas driver wasn't introduced until build
    snv_118.

    So you could either wait until 2010.$spring comes out,
    or start using the /dev repo instead.
...
Or manually load the driver onto the older version of OSOL :)


Well yes, you could do that, then you'd have to watch
your system fail to load the module because it depends
on changes that also went into snv_118 in other modules.


Or it might just panic. Either way, you're not going to
be successful in trying this option.
