We setup this system a while back, and having used megacli before I was
not concerned about retrieving drive status.

Unfortunately, megasascli does not like the configuration on this box:

# lsmod | grep mega
megaraid_sas           87123  2

# modinfo megaraid

issued to a single LUN (default=DEF_CMD_PER_LUN=63) (uint)

parm:           max_mbox_busy_wait:Maximum wait for mailbox in
microseconds if busy (default=MBOX_BUSY_WAIT=10) (ushort)

I created the appropriate device at major node 252:

252 megaraid_sas_ioctl

Unfortunately, megasasctl does not see the adapter:

# ./megasasctl -vvv
0 adapters, driver version f7718ff4

Hass anyone gotten megasasctl running using this controller?

	TIA!
