I'm setting up a FreeNAS server on a box that I originally intended for Open Solaris. Initial setup went OK, but I was getting errors on a couple of the 1.5TB drives, so I decided to upgrade four of them to 3TB for one of my volumes. I purchased an M015 card so I could add the new drives and replace the old drives, as I'm out of Sata ports on the MB.
But I realized that two of the new drives are only being seen as 2.2TB. After a little thought, I realized that this must be a BIOS issue. I updated the MB BIOS, but the drives on the SAS controller don't seem to be visible in the BIOS setup screen. I know there is a separate ROM for the LSI1068 chip, but I have no idea if this can be updated or how to view the 8 ports on the SAS controller?
