Solaris 10 si3124 backport (workaround for bug #6566207)
Do you think you can get a fast cheap SATA mass storage at home with Solaris 10 and ZFS just plugging a cheap si3124 controller?
Not so easily: on Solaris 10 you will be afflicted by some boring bug known as bug #6566207 which gets your controller stuck for around a minute after some heavy I/O.

seq equivalent
On platforms without seq (MacOSX, Solaris), you can emulate it using dc as follows (note the upper bound and the lower bound):
echo '[1+pdupper bound>aq]salower bound 1-lax' | dc
For example:
alia:~ andrea$ echo '[1+pd5>aq]sa0 1-lax' | dc
0
1
2
3
4
5
alia:~ andrea$
