True, we do have those drives, yet those exact drives are listed as
supported for multipathing, in the J4200/J4400 release notes dated
June-2009, that I quoted in an earlier note.  Someone really should
fix the documentation, if the firmware really is faulty.

Since the drive firmware upgrade from 3AZQ to 3AZY evidently didn't help,
maybe we'll get them to send us 24 different drives that _do_ work.  That's
a lot of "zpool replace" exercise, think I'd prefer new firmware....

Hmm, if mpt-compatible firmware ever becomes available, and it _is_ going to
change the GUID/devid, would it be sufficient to "zpool export" everything
before applying such a drive firmware upgrade?
