I've put my Adaptec 2410SA enclosure in my OpenSolaris box. I can't get the drives to appear in the "format" list. The drives are found by the Adaptec BIOS, but it seems the Adaptec BIOS ignores the drives completely unless you create a raid array from them? "No logical drives found" it says. And of course I don't want a raid array... Can't they be used as stand-alone SATA drives (so zfs can use them)? Any experiences/advice on this matter?
There is no pass-through JBOD mode on this controller so the only way you could use it with OSOL+ZFS natively would be to expose the 4 slots as separate LUNs.
There is no issue using them with ZFS as an actual array, however, you just won't benefit from the ability to correct errors detected using ZFS on-disk checksumming.
