Basically I've just installed FreeNAS 9.10 on a physical server, but when I go to View Disks under Storage, it only shows me one of my six drives. Below I've given all the info possible and the things I've tried already, however there's not much else to say as the issue is pretty straightforward - View Disks isn't showing all the disks, but they are showing in the drop-down of Import Disks and they are able to be added to a volume and they work once in a volume, they just don't show up in View Disks.

What I tried already:
  • Looked through the FreeNAS forums for similar issues
  • Tried different browsers, clearing cache/cookies, etc
  • Tried rebooting the server multiple times
  • Checked /var/run/dmesg.boot and the drives are showing successfully including serial numbers
My setup:
  • FreeNAS 9.10 stable release, installed on a dedicated flash drive as recommended
  • Server is a HP ProLiant DL380, with an HP Smart Array P410 RAID Controller
    • Unfortunately the RAID controller doesn't have a passthrough/JBOD/bypass feature and I don't have an HBA controller at hand, so I had to make do with presenting each disk as a seperate RAID0 volume in the RAID controller settings. They are able to be used and added to Volumes as per my first paragraph.
  • Disks - 2x2TB Dell SSD, 4x2TB Dell SAS disks

Lol what if this? Please throw away your controller and get a hba card. Read the links in my signature if you want to know why. Start with the noob and hardware guide.

I gave an explanation in my OP on why I had to use the RAID controller

If you want to use FreeNAS, then you need to find a proper HBA. If you have to use this RAID controller, FreeNAS is not for you.
