You dont need mfip as drives show up as /dev/da* and smartctl works with the corresponding /dev/pass# device files. You can also use storcli (also in the ports) to put it in jbod mode if you dont like megacli eg storcli /c0 show all storcli /c0 show help storcli /c0 set jbod=on (enable jbod mode for drives) storcli /c0/e252/s0 set jbod (sets a disk into jbod mode) I am using the mrsas driver in jbod mode on the 9272 controller for ZFS and its nice and zippy and (so far) quite reliable. # storcli /c0 show all Generating detailed summary of the adapter, it may take a while to complete.

That card works on FreeBSD. I have personal experience with it. However
flashing it to IT mode isn’t possible. That’s a RoC not an HBA. The closest
you can get to pass through is a bunch of single drive RAID 0 disks with the
caching disabled.

It will PROBABLY work.
From Avago: http://www.ssdworks.com/MegaRAID-SAS-9280-16i4e.asp
LSISAS2108 6Gb/s RAID-on-Chip
From the driver in sys/dev/mps for 12-STABLE at present:
mps_pci.c: { MPI2_MFGPAGE_VENDORID_LSI, MPI2_MFGPAGE_DEVID_SAS2108_1,
mps_pci.c: 0x, 0x, 0, "Avago Technologies (LSI) SAS2108" },
mps_pci.c: { MPI2_MFGPAGE_VENDORID_LSI, MPI2_MFGPAGE_DEVID_SAS2108_2,
mps_pci.c: 0x, 0x, 0, "Avago Technologies (LSI) SAS2108" },
mps_pci.c: { MPI2_MFGPAGE_VENDORID_LSI, MPI2_MFGPAGE_DEVID_SAS2108_3,
mps_pci.c: 0x, 0x, 0, "Avago Technologies (LSI) SAS2108" },
I wouldn't call this dispositive but it's easy enough to figure out
(stick it in a box and boot the install media; see if it shows up during
the probe.)
