RE: aacraid+dlt (or dat)

+1 or "me too" for passthru support.  Though the ideal practice would be to
have an independent controller for the other devices, many high-density 1U
servers do not have more than one PCI slot, and also have no external
connectors for on-board SCSI.  I'm willing to test any patches that are out
there on a box with 2 external LVD tape drives connected to an Adaptec
2200S.

Exactly.  Pass-through non-disk devices are not supported in the version
of the aacraid driver in that kernel.  There's a patch pending from
Adaptec (once someone goes through and explains what it does such that
Alan feels comfortable in accepting it) which should add pass-through
non-disk device support.

Volunteers?

Thanks,
Matt
