I have mirrors configured in mfi (see below). After switching, shall I continue to see and use the configured hardware RAID volumes, or will the disks suddenly become.. well, just separate disks? 2. I think I'll lose the convenience of mfiutil. Is there anything to manage mrsas drives/volumes/firmware from inside FreeBSD (adding arrays, monitoring drives etc)?
