If it's helpful we use (or did anyway, since an advantage of ZFS is avoiding using proprietary RAID cards !) Areca, we have a test machine running OI_148 using an Areca ARC1200 (PCIe x1).

To: [email protected] Date: Thursday, January 20, 2011, 11:50 PM When it comes to Marvells chips it some of them work on OSOL/OI and some of them don't. Look into the OpenSolaris HCL, if it signed/certified/native than it's fine but if it merely says "reported to work" I would be careful about it. I would not recommend anyone using JMicron controller chips as I have had tons of problems with them on several different motherboards. There are drivers for them in OSOL/OI but they are nothing but trouble. On 2011-01-20 23:09, Michelle Knight wrote: > Hi Willard, > > Thank you for those links.
