Hi

I have a VM with Freenas on ESXi5.1 The SATA Conroller (Marvell 88SE9172) comes through the ESXi passthrough feature to the Freenas VM. The Mainborad is the Intel DZ77GA-70K with a secondary Marvell 88SE9172 Controller.

VT-d support is available.

The Freenas get access to the SATA Controller.

ahci0@pci0:3:0:0: class=0x010601 card=0x20378086 chip=0x91721b4b rev=0x11 hdr=0x00
class = mass storage
subclass = SATA
ahci1@pci0:11:0:0: class=0x010601 card=0x20378086 chip=0x91721b4b rev=0x11 hdr=0x00
class = mass storage
subclass = SATA

However the both disks behind the SATA Controller are not visible. However it is a known bug:

My question is, how can I add this patch?

Thanks.

You can build a custom release of FreeNAS, but my suggestion would be filing a bug report. The FreeNAS developers are typically pretty good about adding support for things like this from what I've seen.

You might try building your own custom release based on these instructions. I seem to recall someone indicated that there was a more recent set of build instructions but I cannot find them at the moment.
