Make sure you are are using the 3ware character ioctl interface at

Hmm, I don't have any /dev/twe* here. I _do_ have hotplug, udev, etc,
installed, and this is a 2.6 machine, so I'm not sure what could be
wrong.
How recent was this change?
The old interface from smartmontools used SCSI_IOCTL_SEND_COMMAND
ioctls with a special passthru opcode of 0x80 that would get passed
to the driver. This interface is deprecated in the driver and the
kernel.
Ok. Now if only I could find it. Is there anyplace in sysfs that I
can check manually to see what the dynamic major is? I'd like to
try creating the device by hand if I can't get Debian hotplug to see
it.
Cheers,
