This is a beta release with support for issuing commands to drives behind RAID controllers using the CCISS passthrough.
This beta should support HBAs using the CISS driver, HPSA driver, and SmartPQI drivers in Linux.
At this time, this support is only enabled this code for the Linux builds.
These changes are setup so that they can be supported under FreeBSD and Illumos as well, but some additional information is needed before we turn it on. Feel free to reach out in the discussion if you have this configuration and can share some information with us.
A discussion has been added for this release to provide feedback on how this is working for those with these RAID controllers.
Internal testing has been done on HPE and Microchip controllers using HPSA and SmartPQI drivers and they seem to be working as expected, but any additional testing and feedback would be great.
