RE: adaptec 2120S software under RedHat 8.0 and FC2

The applications require the Adaptec Branch of the driver in order to
function (mainly because the kernel.org branch drops the
/proc/scsi/aacraid entry). I have submitted a patch to Mark Haverkamp
for consideration where we add the information back to the /sys
filesystem, and the /proc filesystem (with CONFIG_PROC_FS defined) that
will help re-enable the applications.

There is also a Public GPL daemon, aeventd, that provides event services
that you may consider.

I will provide the sources for both under separate cover.

Sincerely -- Mark Salyzyn

Subject: adaptec 2120S software under RedHat 8.0 and FC2

Could someone possibly help?

I have upgraded a machine from RedHat 8.0 to FC2 and the
adaptec-browser1 and adaptec-smbe software that I installed is not
working
properly. It looks ok at first glance but if I pull a disk out I only
get
informed of the 'informational' type messages.
(Also the browser interface to the RAID doesn't notice that the disk has
been pulled)

These are the RPMs that I installed from adaptec:
adaptec-browser-1.2b-2
adaptec-smbe-1.01.005-0

and I am running this kernel: 2.6.8-1.521smp

Note the mail part works ok and I do get informational messages when I
use
the browser interface and I tell it to rescan, (the array is rebuilt
ok),
but after the disk is pulled, from the browser interface it still shows
the disk as being there, and it is only when I tell it to rescan that it
starts sending out the informational messages and rebuilds.
The messages are logged to /var/log/messages but it seems that anotifyd
is
not picking them up.

Maybe I just need to upgrade the firmware and put on the latest RPMs?
I think I am at firmware revision 7244.

I have attached the anotify.conf file.

Thanks in advance,
Ross
