Hi everyone,

I'm looking to build a new ZFS storage server on 9-STABLE.  The zpool will
be running multiple raid2z vdevs.  To accommodate a larger number of disks,
I'd like to use a SAS Expander.  I'm leaning towards the combination of
the LSI SAS 9211-4i HBA (via mps) and the Supermicro 846E16 expander chassis
(via ses).  Does anyone here have experience with this specific hardware
combination?  Is it supported?  Is it stable?

Thanks!
Daniel
