You dont need mfip as drives show up as /dev/da* and smartctl works with the corresponding /dev/pass# device files. You can also use storcli (also in the ports) to put it in jbod mode if you dont like megacli eg storcli /c0 show all storcli /c0 show help storcli /c0 set jbod=on (enable jbod mode for drives) storcli /c0/e252/s0 set jbod (sets a disk into jbod mode) I am using the mrsas driver in jbod mode on the 9272 controller for ZFS and its nice and zippy and (so far) quite reliable. # storcli /c0 show all Generating detailed summary of the adapter, it may take a while to complete.
