Good day!
I have tested Freenas for a while now,
with a lot of configurations, also tided OpenIndiana, with Napp-it.
Now i have hit a wall for some time.
I dont want to use HW Raid, but SW, and ZFS v28
Since i got all my pars from Dell, then i also have their RAID controllers.
I have read a lot of how H800 shall use Raid 0 on all disks, i did test it, but i felt kinda scared off it, if the controller fails so on.
Then i tested H810, same resault, and then at the end i used Perc 6 Dell H200
Even tho , H800/810 says it´s JBOD then i dont see the disks at all in Freenas or OpenIndiana.
thats why i have to use RAID 0, or HW Raid. is this a bug ? or is it a configuration error ?
When i Use the H200 controller, then i can create a pool, and find the disks.
It works, without flashing the controller to LSI LT firmware.
Now i have a ZFS pool up and running, but Freenas cant see the disks, on "view disk" or "view multipath" (i use 2 SAS cabels, so its multipath) but the pool worked, i find that strange.
With OpenIndiana, i could not create a pool at all with the disks, cause the disk name where to long.
So here is my question.
Why cant i see my disks from the H200 card ?
What if a disk fails now, will ill be able to rebuild the system from terminal?
I think it can be the firmware on the DellDisks that fucks things up, but dont know.
