LSI SAS 2008 support on Truenas SCALE?

[rmont]

Should I expect a problem with a LSI 2008-based HBA once in TrueNas Scale?

Reason for asking:
I've just installed a new HBA based on the LSI SAS 2008 chipset on my Truenas Core server.

I have configured PCI passthrough to a Ubuntu 20.04 VM in bhyve, but I am hitting a wall trying to configure the board because apparently the LSI 2008 chipset is End of Life in most modern Linux distributions.

I'm looking forward to migrating to TrueNas Scale but, from what I understand, it will be based on Debian. So, will it have the same issues I am encountering in Ubuntu?

only one I know off that pulled the sas-2 support was RHEL 8, and by extension CentOS 8 Ubuntu still lists the 2008 cards as supported through 21.04 on the ubuntu mps man page.. there is a kernel bug i stumbled on that its possible the debian base has worked around (since i don't see the work around in the grub config) that ubuntu hasn't adopted

I'm running a 2008 card (9211 LSI original) no issues.

Debian is very very conservative, slow and steady and stable, and still supports i386. They will be the last to pull it.

H310 crossflashed works fine, So I guess LSI SAS 2008 is completely fine :)
