[OpenIndiana-discuss] Sata Port Multiplier

[Mark]

I have been trying to get the si3124 driver working with port 
multipliers using the si3826 chipset.
The driver source suggests port multipliers are supported.

The card's are seen, driver loads, but no disks.

The controller ports with multipliers connected show as failed.

The server is the Backblaze Pod 3.0 system using Syba PCI Express SATA 
II 4-Port RAID Controller Card SY-PEX40008 and AC-SAN-5PMBP 5 Bay Port 
Multiplier Backplane (Sil 3826 Chipset).

No issues when I tried running Nas4Free, but FreeBSD doesn't support the 
application I want to use for the storage.


I did try turning on debugging, but as a beginner at driver debugging 
I'm not sure I achived the desired result and got no useful info from it.

Anyone have experience with Sata Port Multipliers and can share a few 
pointers ?

Mark.
