I just added an Adaptec 31605 RAID card to my computer. However FreeNAS is not seeing the disks, when I do
Code:
camcontrol devlist
I can see all of the disks on the new RAID card but they show up like
Code:
at scbus1 target 4 lun 0 (pass0)
and they do not show up in FreeNAS under disks. Whereas the disks that work (I haven't moved them to the new RAID card yet) show up like
Code:
at scbus4 target 27 lun 0 (pass11,da0)
and FreeNAS can see them.

Is there something that I am missing so that the new disks show up correctly?

"an Adaptec 31605 RAID card" very bad idea... Adaptec cards (and other RAID cards in general) are well known to cause problems on FreeNAS. Please read the thread on the hardware recommendations (link is in my sig) ;)

Why did you add a RAID adapter? The bottom line, is you shouldn't have done that.

Buy an IBM 1015 HBA instead and flash it to IT mode. About $125 on eBay.

Do a forum search on RAID adapters for more information.

I've said in at *least* 3 stickies on this forum that Adaptec is to be avoided. So why did you ignore my other 3 warnings? And if you've put that little faith in the opinion of the highest poster in the forums, why would you even ask in the forums for help?
