The only h/w that I've seen that requires this new support is the Dell H710 that is shipping with their latest servers (12G).

Although delayed due to finding some header issues when I tested creating RAID's this is now in -current ... and yes it supports all known MFI type cards.

Hi Doug! I was wondering if the project could be updated to CURRENT and a patch be generated for it against CURRENT so people could test out the new code (I'd really like to try this out on my box at home).

projects/mfi_head to -current next week
Hi folks, I'd like to start merging mfi(4) from projects/head_mfi into -current next week. The mfi(4) driver is stable and I don't know of any issues with it now. I fixed a few issues that I knew of this past week. Several people have contributed to this. LSI did the base HW support. This update supports all current mfi based cards. It supports JBOD via creating /sys/mfisyspd* entries for each disk. When a disk is pulled from the controller the node goes away and when a disk is inserted it creates an entry. Using a fairly new MegaCli, it can also control how JBOD support works. We may need to update our port. This JBOD support is not the same as CAM pass through that some have hacked to make disks appear as da*. Several people are using this driver now so I feel it is stable enough to hit the tree. More eyes and people using this will make it better. This new HW is showing up more and more in new systems so it will make it easier for people to use FreeBSD on these machines and have it just work. Thanks to LSI for the initial HW support and all of the people that have been testing and getting it in shape to commit.
