Now I would like to replace the first disk with a 3 TB one, too. However, will I be able to boot from it? The PC is not exactly a new one (ASRock A330GC with Atom 330 processor, a few years old) and has a standard BIOS (dated 07/16/2009). I understand that I will have to use GPT in order to be able to use the full capacity of 3 TB, and that I will have to install a pmbr to enable the BIOS to detect the disk as bootable. Is this correct? Will that work? (Assuming that the boot partition will have to be within the first 2 TB of the drive, of course.) If everything else fails, I'd consider using an additional drive for booting, probably an SSD. But I'd like to avoid this if possible. Best regards Oliver -- Oliver Fromme, secnetix GmbH & Co.

Its quite common for big companies to not "officially" support until a release but that doesn't mean they don't have a fix if you know what I mean :) In addition to this we're running LSI 2008 based controllers here on 8.2-RELEASE + manually merged in mps driver with ZFS just fine.

The cards we have here are 9211-8i if that helps.

X-BeenThere: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: General discussion of FreeBSD hardware List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Thu, 16 Aug 2012 16:42:48 -0000 Hello. I have an Asus U36JC laptop which has two graphic cards (NVIDIA Optimus technology): an Intel integrated card and GeForce 310M. To save power on Linux I use acpi_call module to disable nvidia card completely. This acpi_call module (https://github.com/mkottman/acpi_call) enables an interface to pass ACPI methods. Then when I issue echo '\_SB.PCI0.PEG1.GFX0._OFF' > /proc/acpi/call I'm disabling the nvidia card. Is something like that possible with FreeBSD? I'd like to use it on my laptop, but unfortunately it gets too hot when both Intel and Nvidia card are powered on. Are there any plans on supporting nvidia optimus? Or at least an option to disable the nvidia card and use the intel one?

If so I would advice configuring the disks as passthrough. What does pciconf -lv say? On boot I see the following here to 2008 chip controller:- == /var/run/dmesg.boot == mps0: port 0xe000-0xe0ff mem 0xfaf3c000-0xfaf3ffff,0xfaf40000-0xfaf7ffff irq 26 at device 0.0 on pci7 mps0: Firmware: 11.00.00.00 mps0: IOCCapabilities: 185c mps0: [ITHREAD] == pciconf -lv == mps0@pci0:7:0:0: class=0x010700 card=0x30201000 chip=0x00721000 rev=0x03 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'LSI Logic (Was: Symbios Logic, NCR)' class = mass storage subclass = SAS I suspect reading around that the MegaRAID cards are have SAS chips on board but are superseed by the RAID part hence mfi vs mps I wonder if you could flash with the IT firmware instead of IR to make it show as mps instead of mfi?
