I am opening this thread to collect any issues that arise when using LSI SAS 3 controllers (Pretty much anything using an LSI SAS 3008 controller, including some Supermicro Haswell-EP motherboards and the LSI SAS 9300-series HBAs).
Please don't ask for help in this thread - if you need help, open a thread or reply to one that covers your issue. Only post here after help in the forum has been given (and you ended up with either a workaround or a faulty system).
Please add as much information as you have on your issue, including full hardware, FreeNAS version and SAS controller firmware version.
These issues may end up being reported to LSI, since they're in charge of the driver (mostly) and firmware.

Summary of known issues (as of 2014-12-08)
Weird quirks may occur when using SAS3 controllers with SAS2 expanders. Does not seem to affect SAS3 expanders. Supermicro is also currently advising against using SAS2 expanders with their LSI SAS 3008 motherboards. (See this thread)
