For NetBSD/i386 (at least in -current sometime back in the September
timeframe), 3dmd for FreeBSD seemed to work on my 8506.  It logged "issues"
about the controller being reset which seemed bogus, and you couldn't write
to the card (say to create/rebuild sets), however you could graphically
monitor the status (I only tried failing a single Raid5 component, but that
"worked" per the GUI).

No solution for non-i386 yet, and nothing comprehensive like the 3ware CLI.
:-(

I really wish there was some kind of solution, but alas...I don't see
anything out in the opensource community at all.

Subject: 3ware management tools for NetBSD using the FreeBSD binaries?

	Hello.  I'm trying to use the FreeBSD binary tools for the 3ware
RAID controller cards under NetBSD-2.0, and I find that they cannot find the
controller cards.  It looks like they try to look for 3ware data in the
sysctl tree, and failing that, give up.  I've looked in the NetBSD-current
sources to see if anyone has made the sysctl stuff work with the 3ware cards
in the twe(4) driver, but it appears not.  So, since I assume someone must
be using some 3ware management utilities, I wonder what it is they're using,
and how they made them work?
