Theo;
I have some enclosures that are leftover from a custom job we did for a
customer. These were basically our 1U (3x hot-swap scsi) and 2U (6X
hot-swap scsi) chassis's but without mobo, just power supply and
special cabling to allow HDD's to attach to power supply. I am not
sure if the cases in question have the necessary cabling, but I will
check, if so, they are yours. I do have quite a few 1U and 2U cases
with power supplies, in case you wish to rack mount any gear. We are
no longer having these cases made for us, too costly, and have a boat
load that we are looking to sell cheap, as well as donate to obsd.
Lemme know,

Quoting Theo de Raadt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
We are looking for a SCSI RAID enclosure + at least a few disks, for
testing/development purposes, in Toronto. This is to make the raid
management stuff work better. A few of us are working on the code,
but we would like the main scsi guys in Toronto to play along too.
The stuff is making process; here is a demo of a small part part of
it:
# bioctl -h ami0
Volume Status Size Device
ami0 0 Online 341G sd0 RAID5
0 Online 68.4G 0:0.0 ses0 <MAXTOR

3 Online 68.4G 1:9.0 ses1 <MAXTOR
ATLAS15K2_73SCA JNZ6>
4 Online 68.4G 1:11.0 ses1 <MAXTOR
ATLAS15K2_73SCA JNZ6>
5 Online 68.4G 1:13.0 ses1 <MAXTOR
ATLAS15K2_73SCA JNZ6>
This shows that userland knows which controllers are tied to which
system disks, which drives are backing it, and which ses/safte devices
are managing the those drive in the enclosure.
So, if someone has one to give or loan on a semi-permanent basis,
please let me know.
Thanks.
