Re: LSI SAS 3108 RAID Controller
Just a sanity check 1st. Are you going to be using zfs or ufs? If zfs you probably want the reflash the card the the relevant HBA firmware rather the the raid firmware. This will expose the disks nativly which is best for zfs. Sorry if this isn't appropriate for you but I would thought I would check as it might save you a whole load of pain going in a direction you don't need to.

These LSI > SAS 3108 RAID Controller is supported by the mpr driver Try and attach the mrsas driver to the card. I had a similar problem with an onboard variant. Either compile the kernel without the mfi driver, or force the kernel to assign the mrsas driver to it instead of the mfi driver. hw.mfi.mrsas_enable=1 in /boot/loader.conf # pciconf -lv mrsas0 mrsas0@pci0:1:0:0: class=0x010400 card=0x080915d9 chip=0x005d1000 rev=0x02 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'LSI Logic / Symbios Logic' device = 'MegaRAID SAS-3 3108 [Invader]' class = mass storage subclass = RAID ---Mike -- --- Mike Tancsa, tel +1 519 651 3400 Sentex Communications, m...@sentex.net Providing Internet services since 1994 www.sentex.net Cambridge, Ontario Canada http://www.tancsa.com/ ___ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

It's possible you have flaky hardware as I have used that card before with out issues IIRC.
