Hi everyone,
I am totally new to FreeNAS / ZFS / FreeBSD etc and I've got myself completely stuck.
I am trying to use my existing LSI MegaRAID 9240-8i with FreeNAS-8.3.1-RC1-x64. I have 8 x 3TB SATA III Hard Drives. I have set the HD's as JBOD on the 9240 as I want ZFS to handle the Raid for me. When I try to boot I am getting the following msg -
mfi0: COMMAND 0xffffff8000b216c8 TIMEOUT AFTER 59 SECONDS, then repeating every 30 seconds.
I realise this is on the Forum in other places but I haven't been able to work out what I can do to sort this (if anything). Many posts take about running a PATCH but I don't know how to run a patch as I can't get to a command prompt and they all seem to be quiet lengthy lines of commands/code how do I run them.
I also realise that I may be better off running a HBA but as I already have a raid card and set drives to JBOD I assumed that would work.
Any help / pointers would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks Grant
