Re: megacli and PERC5 (PowerEdge 1950) on 6.2
Mike
The following patch have been applied to my FreeBSD 6.2 system (amd64, PowerEdge 2950 box):
http://patch.zabbadoz.net/freebsd/patchset/EXPERIMENTAL/20070319-01-mfi-MFC.diff
Now, I call 'megacli -AdpAllInfo -aALL' and I get working output like:

(6/6/07).
I did a fresh rebuild on one of my 1950s with 6_RELENG and it seems
to now work as expected. Hopefully this makes it's way into the next
release. I don't follow things close enough to get a sense of if this
is the type of change that could get merged into 6.2 (it would be
nice though).
On a quasi-related note, I'm not how many people out there are using
MegaCli in order to do some Nagios-based monitoring, but I wrote my
own humble Nagios plugin for it and it is at http://www.techno-
obscura.com/~delgado/weblog/archives/2007/06/check_megaraid.html
(there is a check_perc5i plugin on Nagios Exchange, but I had issues
with it so I wrote my own). I have been using it with my Linux
systems so far, but look forwarding to being able to slap it on our
new FreeBSD boxes now.

I actually updated Nicola's code to make it work on FreeBSD/amd64:
http://www.nagiosexchange.org/Hardware.56.0.html?&tx_netnagext_pi1[page]=10%3A10
I posted my changes back to nagiosexchange, as I encourage you
(Jonathan) to do so the same (hopefully the Apache license is okay with
this):

P.S. Nicola, nick Dick Cheney post on your blog. Also, be sure to check
out "Jose Chung’s From Outer Space". Season 3, Episode 20.
