Zitat von Zara Kanaeva : > Dear list, > > I have one Fujitsu server with LSI SAS 3108 RAID Controller. These > LSI SAS 3108 RAID Controller is supported by the mpr driver > (https://www.freebsd.org/relnotes/CURRENT/hardware/support.html). > If I try to install the FreeBSD-stable 10.0 or FreeBSD-current 11.0 > on this server I can make partitions, but I can not write install > files on the disks (better to say RAID5 virtual drive) without errors. > The erorrs are: > mfi0 failed to get command > mfi0: COMMAND ...
