For the record: My latest info from Supermicro is that the chip would do above 2TB with SAS drives, but doesn't do it with SATA... However, I changed to a 3ware 9650se controller now. I had to flash a beta firmware to get 2.8GB recognized on the drives, but now it seems to work. Only the twa device/controller responds with a reset when trying to do "zdb -C"... strange. But apart from that the drives seem to work fine, even with zfs. To sum up what I experienced during the last days: all "cheap" controllers I tried (nvidia mcp55 onboard, SiI 3124) work fine out-of-the-box. All expensive, scsi-like stuff (3ware 9650, lsi) needs at least firmware updates or does not work (meaning shows either 2TB, 800GB or does not work at all). For my "old" 3ware 9550 controllers there is not even a beta firmware available to fix the problem. :-( cu Gerrit _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
