Hi Marty,

We'd love to beta the driver. Currently, have 5 X2100 M2s in
production and 1 in development.

Best Regards,
Jason

nv_sata, a native SATA driver for ck804/mcp55 based chipsets, will
likely be integrated into nevada in the coming month or so.

If you'd like to get early access to the driver and give me feedback,
please contact me directly.

Is this something that is planned to be worked on?  The more I look at the 
X2200,
the more I like the idea of getting one.  I don't like the idea of Solaris not
properly supporting something badged by Sun, that doesn't thrill me at all. ;)

The framework is integrated in both Solaris and OpenSolaris, as demonstrated
by the fact that some SATA controllers work natively, and that the x4500
works.  There is no driver for the controller on the x2100/x2200 though.

I don't have an X2200-M2, but I would love to run my SATA drives in SATA mode :)

Hi Brian,

To my understanding the X2100 M2 and X2200 M2 are basically the same
board OEM'd from Quanta...except the 2200 M2 has two sockets.

As to ZFS and their weirdness, it would seem to me that fixing it
would be more an issue of the SATA/SCSI driver. I may be wrong here.
