I have just imported the mfi(4) and mfiutil(8) into a 9.0-RELEASE tree to try this out.
When booting up with two fresh drives attached, they show up as usable JBOD disks. However, I cannot use mfiutil to create anything with them. Every drive gives
"mfiutil: Drive n not available"
Is this expected behaviour? How can I create a raid1 volume using mfiutil and clean disks?
I tried using MegaCli from the LSI website (versions 8.02.16 and 8.02.21), but they can't even detect the controller. I know you said at some point that a very recent version of MegaCli was required. What version is necessary?
