My external enclosure connected via a port multiplier card seems to not be playing well with FreeNAS. Any suggestions on what I can try here? The entries in the log here are when I turn the enclosure's power on and off. I did that twice here. In previous versions, a power cycle at least allowed FreeNAS to then see the volumes in the enclosure. Now that I've upgraded to the latest, it doesn't seem to even be able to see the enclosure at all anymore.
Is an external eSATA enclosure connected to a port multiplier card not supported? Should I try USB?
EDIT: Running a /sbin/camcontrol rescan all allowed me to again see the drives in the enclosure and re-add them into the pool with an auto import, though I'm looking for these volumes and shares to survive a reboot.
