Greetings, all.
I wanted to ask you for advice on the issue of reverse.
I recently bought an OCZ RevoDrive3 for a Linux server and found that the drivers for this device are not available from the manufacturer. But I did not give up and began to google, and lo and behold, I found that there is a rabbat2 activist from isohunt.com, who adapts the mvsas driver to work with RevoDrive3 with his own handles. The fact is that OCZ released a driver for the enterprise version of the product, but unfortunately it is available as a binary for and only for the 3.0.0 kernel;
Details of what has already been done:
Forum OCZ
So now Robin (rabbat2) is looking for someone who can help him reverse the driver so he can release it for newer kernels.
Thus, there is an ocz10xx.ko file, the functionality of which needs to be inserted into mvs_94xx_config_reg_from_hba, mvs_94xx_init from drivers/scsi/mvsas/mv_94xx.c;
Maybe you know someone who can help in solving this problem?

Buy a device for the server and only THEN discover that there is no suitable driver for the target OS?! :)
Some kind of spontaneous assembly of the server turned out, not otherwise :)

IMHO it would be faster, easier, but perhaps not so exciting to bombard the manufacturer with pleas to provide an updated version of the driver or just release an open source version (maybe not fully functional, but workable).
