Used both, from pf to opn maybe 15months ago. Never had issues with either but I've had issues with how pf is managed and just seems to get another reason to dislike every so often.

Depends on your issues but go raise bug report with opn. If opn started to cause me issues then I'd be more likely to goto openwrt I think,rather than pf.

Fairly frequently,but no real schedule. 3wks-3months, whenever I get some time to update without it being a problem. Primarily for patching & new kernels reasons but has caught the odd disk issue where btrfs was struggling and I didn't catch when running.

 

I'm toying with the idea of grabbing a 12G trimode 8i card and possibly expanding out the future. Lets say a 9400-8i. Drives will be split between enterprise and consumer SSD's.

Aside from bandwidth on older expanders being 6G and possibly implying pre-trimode era hardware (for arguments sake a LENOVO 03X3834 https://www.newegg.com/p/14G-000U-000K2 ), are there any gotcha's with using older expanders with newer HBA's like SCSI unmap and whatever else is a "trimode" feature?

my guess is there's a controller under the expanders heatsink which would not pass through the newer instructions.
