Patch Fusion-io VSL for FreeBSD 9 to work with FreeBSD 10

By | February 26, 2017

I didn’t write this patch, but it’s been forwarded to me and my understanding is that a Fusion-io customer wrote this a while back.

VSL (the software driver for Fusion-io cards) can be recompiled (all the real IP is pre-compiled in an included library), allowing VSL to be recompiled for variations in a given operating system. These small patches are necessary to get VSL for FreeBSD 9 to work on FreeBSD 10.

NOTE: THIS IS CURRENTLY BROKEN – I WILL FIX IT IF I CAN FIND THE RIGHT CODE

    Did you ever manage to figure this out? I’ve got several of these cards that it would be nice to use again.

    Sorry for taking so much time to respond.

    I haven’t taken the time to fix the patch. I might work on it next week.

    I’m willing to throw 50 bucks so you can buy something for yourself
