Hi, I need to decide whether to add an additional 3ware SATA RAID adapter to a server or to utilise the onboard Marvell SATA RAID adapter
Note that the Marvell chip is not RAID. See http://linux.yyz.us/sata/faq-sata-raid.html
(preferred). The Marvell driver (2.6.15.1) is "highly experimental" and I see no traffic mentioning this driver since Sept last year... I was wondering what the current status is. If it's still alive I'm obviously offering to help debug it...
You will have better luck on the linux-ide list, though there admittedly aren't a lot of sata_mv hackers.
Patches are certainly welcome. sata_mv needs some more errata workarounds before it could be said to be ready for production.
