3ware woes, seem to be missing vital /proc files...
Different this time, I promise!
After much mucking about, the 3ware 9500 is working beautifully as I would
expect and is sitting there with a nice fat 750GB LVM. But I can't get 3DM2
(3ware Disk Management daemon mk. 2) to run. It complains about not being
able to start a listening socket...?
I straced it and it came back with this;

start listening socket
Now, I'm an absolute clueless n00b when it comes to stuff like this. All
/proc/scsi contains is:
zaphod:/home/pika/3dm2# ls -l /proc/scsi/
total 0
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Sep 7 15:58 device_info
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Sep 7 15:58 scsi
with no mention of the 3w-9xxx driver anywhere. Is this some kind of
RH/SuSE specific thing (since 3ware only officially support those distros),
or is it because I compiled the driver into the kernel rather than as a
module? Or something else entirely that mere admins like me can't dream of?
Googling for the error returns pretty much nothing. Anyone have any ideas?
