Hi all,
Can anyone recommend to me a Fiber channel storage device (HBA) that has
open source drivers in Linux? I am being offered something called
"FC2-133" (a.k.a 24p0960). Some initial research shows that the Linux
drivers for this adapter are binary only, which means I'm looking into a
series of kernel compilations, much prayer, and things not working. It
also means I'm locked to one or two specific distros. I would rather not
be in this mess.
I'm wondering what are other people doing in that respect? What hardware
do you use? I saw that a company called "Emulex" is producing open
source drivers for kernel 2.6 series for their HBAs. These do not appear
to be part of the actual vanilla kernel, but are shipped with Suse. I'm
wondering whether anyone has any experience with that?
