I am having a ZFS problem that presently appears to be related to the
LSI SAS2008 chips but it is too early to tell. I had few non-ZFS related
problems. I have three 6200 systems and have been using them for
approximately a year, more or less.

I have had two problems with the igb drivers. One is a lack of driver
support for large MTUs but works fine with the default 1500. The other
may have been my ZFS problem in disguise but it hasn't shown itself is
several months). The em0 driver worked without trouble.

Otherwise they have worked fine.
