Would love to hear if people have different experience. I am about to try the rocket raid in IT mode because I am tired of fighting with lsi firmware. Very very stable when you get the right combo, 1000's of phantom checksum errors if not. >> FreeBSD 10.3 : >> # egrep ^mps0 /var/run/dmesg.boot >> mps0: <Avago Technologies (LSI) SAS2008> >> mps0: Firmware: 20.00.04.00, Driver: 20.00.00.00-fbsd >> >> FreeBSD 11-RC1 : >> # egrep ^mps0 /var/run/dmesg.boot >> mps0: <Avago Technologies (LSI) SAS2008> >> mps0: Firmware: 20.00.04.00, Driver: 21.01.00.00-fbsd >> >> Strangely enough there is no P21 driver/firmware @Avago : >> http://www.avagotech.com/products/server-storage/host-bus-adapters/sas-9211-8i#downloads >> So I assume firmware P20 is the right one to use with FreeBSD 11. >> Well it is : https://forums.freenas.org/index.php?threads/firmware-version-p21.45130/#post-304399 > I have worked with those guys, and they consistently say there is no difference in the firmware revs, but...

I just had a look, driver moved from .20 to .21 with this : https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base?view=revision&revision=302031 This bugfix has also been committed to stable/10 : https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd/commit/4542c2afc3d1697def1e77a37b7d0a773ee40964home | help
