Hi,
When I configure the disks connected to my Adaptec 5805 controller card as JBODs, they do not show up in Freenas 9.3. When I configure the disks as morphed volumes (so single volume per disk), the volumes are accessible to Freenas.
Naturally, I would like to have the disks working as JBODs instead of morphed volumes, since the SMART-information is hidden from Freenas while in morphed mode.
On http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.os.freebsd.stable/89041, I've read other people talking about this problem. It seems it would be a driver related problem in FreeBSD...?
However, on I read in the Freenas-documentation on supported cards, that the 5805 should be supported (https://www.freebsd.org/relnotes/CURRENT/hardware/support.html).
I have 2 questions:
a) can anyone confirm that this "JBOD-invisible" problem with Adaptec 5805 could be indeed driver related? In that case, is there a fix available for this problem?
b) If necessary, I'm prepared to buy another HBA like the IBM M1015 or the LSI 9240-8i, but I would like to have some confirmation that with these cards the JBOD-disks will be available to the Freenas-system. Any advice?
Thanks for your help.
