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 aacraid-drivers from Adaptec's website to
be fully functional; I don't see any FreeBSD drivers at Adaptec for the
2200S (perhaps they are available for a newer product but will work for
this older adapter?)
If aaccli is the only way to control the 2200S, is there some hope that a
fix of some sort could ultimately be committed?
Thanks for your effort.
Regards,
-Chris

I suspect Adaptec has a firmware bug relating to the RequestAdapterInfo
and RequestSupplementAdapterInfo commands. The driver family support
brought in the latter, while the former has always been there. It
appears that RequestAdapterInfo returns all zeros if it's called after
RequestSupplementAdapterInfo or something.
The hack patch below forces reasonable values into the aac_revision
struct if it's zeroed, and it restores aaccli usage for me. If you
have time I'd be interested in finding out if you can continue using
aaccli with this patch added.
