I have a pair of HPT1540 SATA cards that I'm currently using with the Highpoint supplied driver (Sans raid proprietary binary - Complete source compile) on a 2.4 kernel. I have been looking at libata as I'd like to move to an in-kernel driver and I'm having issues with the in-kernel hpt366 ide driver. Plus, given all my drives are in Supermicro Hotswap bays I'm hoping that one day we may realise seamless hotswap and I can swap out faulty software raid disks on the fly and I guess libata is the best way to work towards this :p)
I think I get the idea of how libata goes together and I'd like to have a crack at writing a sata_hpt module. Has anyone done any ground work on this or is already working on it or do I start from scratch?
Are there any known reasons as to why it will / will not work or anything else that would preclude me from getting it going?
Is there a better place to discuss this?
Regards, Brad
