It's good to see such enthusiasm.

However, all that crap has never, to my knowledge, been clearly 
documented, so blaming it on the users is not exactly fair. Trial and 
errors over years is what it took me, including dealing with such 
beauties as the Sun x2100 whose SATA controller was *not* supported by 
Solaris on release, then was, or the same mpt driver that would work 
differently with SCSI HBAs or SAS HBAs.

If you can point me now to a single document that explains how to do it 
in the correct way on SATA, mpt, mpt_sas, what have you, believe me, it 
will be truly appreciated.

Saying then that SATA controllers are a special case is a bit like 
saying that explosion engines for cars are a special case, isn't it?
