megacli and PERC5 (PowerEdge 1950) on 6.2

[Jonathan Delgado]

The patches seem to have made their way into 6_RELENG yesterday  
(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.
