[BULK] Re: MFI driver issues

Yeah, I believe it, my explorations of the MPS source code don't seem to 
indicate that particular PCI DEVID is listed as supported.  It is for 
the MFI driver though.  So, I guess the MFI driver just isn't fully 
stable with the Perc H700/H800 card.

I'm punting here and going with a more supported Adaptec SAS controller.

For whoever manages the FreeBSD MFI driver, it might be worth looking 
into this problem with the Perc H700 and H800, as more and more Dell 
configurations have them these days.

Not that I'm complaining.  I know this is all free software.  ;)
