This gives a warning in FreeNAS-9.10.2-U3 (e1497f269):
freenas mps0: Firmware: 15.00.00.00, Driver: 21.01.00.00-fbsd
This doesn't give a warning in FreeNAS-9.10.2-U3 (e1497f269):
freenas mps0: Firmware: 20.00.04.00, Driver: 21.01.00.00-fbsd
I think that I've read somewhere that driver was bumped to 21 because of a friendly developer doing an update, but set a wrong version number. So FreeNAS doesn't warn about 20 and 21 as they are the same.
Is this correct ?
Currently running 9.3 with 20.00.04.00 which have been stable for a very long time. I hope to upgrade to 9.10 without updating HBA firmware since 20.00.04.00 has been performing well and stable under 9.3.
So upgrading to 9.10 shouldn't cause trouble, right ? ;-)
Also this firmware vs. driver thing, couldn't this be a wiki page that contain updated info for all FreeNAS versions (I know I could go through bug reports or forums where a ixsystems dev clarify things, but time consuming to find the right post).
