If I connect to another card everything seems to work OK. But, the
controllers I'm testing with DO support RC16. If I load the cciss driver I
can see my large volumes with no problems. I've also bugged the firmware
folks and according to them RC16 is supported.
WRT the TUR failing, if this controller message is accurate it looks like
the TUR is being sent to the controller and not the logical volumes.

Wonder why that would be the case.
