Just a brief update. HP has developed a scsi version of cciss. It was originally done for another environment but we have decided to use it as the base for Linux. It was authored by Tom Lawler of HP. We are currently in the process of getting the Open Source Review Board approval to release the code to the community. It's unclear right now as to who will be the maintainer. -- mikem > > > The patch is available at: > > http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/tomo/ciss/0001-a > dd-HP-Compaq-Smart-Array-5xxx-controller-SCSI-dri.patch > > clover:/home/fujita# insmod ciss.ko > clover:/home/fujita# lsscsi > (snip) > [1:0:0:0] disk HP LOGICAL VOLUME 1.66 /dev/sde > [1:0:0:1] disk HP LOGICAL VOLUME 1.66 /dev/sdf > [1:0:0:2] disk HP LOGICAL VOLUME 1.66 /dev/sdg > [1:0:0:3] disk HP LOGICAL VOLUME 1.66 /dev/sdh > > Yeah, it just works as SCSI disk, the dmesg says: > > sd 1:0:0:0: [sde] Attached SCSI disk > sd 1:0:0:1: [sdf] 143305920 512-byte hardware sectors (73373 > MB) sd 1:0:0:1: [sdf] Write Protect is off sd 1:0:0:1: [sdf] > Mode Sense: 5b 00 00 08 sd 1:0:0:1: [sdf] Write cache: > disabled, read cache: enabled, doesn't support DPO or FUA > > I needed a different name and just stole 'ciss' from *BSD. > But any names (like hpciss) works for me. > > > Thanks, > -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
