The problems you had with the x8dtn, did the affect the x8dtn+-o that you know
of, or just the -6?
I'm thinking of building a system around this due to the PCI-X so I can use the
AOC-SAT2-MV8.
Any thoughts?
Thanks.

The WD10EARS disks don't work well.
I had too many issues with timeouts that disappeared when replacing them with
ST32000542AS drives.
My next challenge is to get the LSI 3081 to boot off the disk I want it to, and
then to get multipath functional.
Has anyone else had issues with the LSI IT mo
I did see that and confirmed the support has made it into the 130 release I'm
testing with.
However, the WD10EARS does not expose 4k sectors to the outside world, so it is
not identified as supporting it.
Correct alignment, to ensure best performance of the internal translation,
seems to be the

Hey Mark,
I spent *so* many hours looking for that firmware. Would you please

Update:
For the WD10EARS, the blocks appear to be aligned on the 4k boundary when zfs
uses the whole disk (whole disk as EFI partition).

I'm looking into the alignment implications for the WD10EARS disks.
It may explain my issues.
I seem to recall boot issues in some of the LSI release notes affecting other
boot devices. I think it takes over boot responsibility.
I've encountered this sort of issue over the years with many scsi ca
I do not know if this has anything to do with some of the problems you're
seeing. however, there is definitely an issue using /some/ LSI controllers on
Supermicro boards. I just rencetly had an issue with using LSI3442 (the next
gen over the 1068E chipset) on a Supermicro MB (X8DTN-6). Anyhow

My experience was different again.
I have the same timeout issues with both the LSI and Supermicro cards in IT
mode.
IR mode on the Supermicro card didn't solve the problem, but seems to have
reduced it .
