Hi,
I'm not sure if I'm asking the question correctly, or even comparing apples to apples....
I'm getting siis timeouts in dmesg. After a LOT of Googling, it seems many responses end up being to use the latest driver. So, is a module a driver? Is the driver even included in FreeNAS? If I specify a "module" (which does end up in /boot/loader.conf.local) where would it load from?
According to http://www.unix.com/man-page/freebsd/4/SIIS/, the following should be in loader.conf - siis_load="YES".
Just because cat loader.conf.local confirms the line is there, another thread here said I'd still have to download the module. siis is not in /boot/kernel, nor /boot/modules
I have 3 Syba cards, each with 4 SATA ports. They do show up in dmesg....

Because siis is there, does this mean that the driver is there?
Same goes for here...

What does all of this mean?
Also, I have 9 5-port port multipliers connected to the cards. Each card has 4 ports but I only use 3 per card, and have 3 cards.
45 3TB Hitachi drives
16GB memory
8.0.3p1
i3 540 @ 3.0.7GHz
All the drives are seen fine. For "testing and burn in" I have 3 7-drive pools, and 3 8-drive pools.
Thanks,
Rich
