Hello,
I'm trying to make this card work. As I am going to use ZFS, I need it =
in passthrough mode. However, both in 10-STABLE and 11-CURRENT
it's corrupting data.
The card is detected as follows:
mfi0: <Invader> port 0x4f00-0x4fff mem =
0x913f0000-0x913fffff,0x91400000-0x914fffff irq 34 at device 0.0 on =

mfi0: Using MSI

mfi0: MaxCmd =3D 240, Drv MaxCmd =3D 128, MaxSgl =3D 70, state =3D =
0xb73c00f0
mfi0: 10016 (446833719s/0x0020/info) - Shutdown command received from =

mfisyspd0 on mfi0
And according to mfiutil,
root@merde:/home/borjam # mfiutil show adapter
mfi0 Adapter:
Product Name: ServeRAID M5210e
Serial Number: XXXXX
Firmware: 24.0.2-0013
RAID Levels: JBOD, RAID0, RAID1, RAID10
Battery Backup: not present
NVRAM: 32K
Onboard Memory: 0M
Minimum Stripe: 64K
Maximum Stripe: 64K
Curiously, other mfi cards which don't officially support syspd mode =
work in passthrough without problems. And indeed
mfisyspd is not adequate to use SSDs. It's much better to use =
passthrough and the "da" driver.
Is there any download I can try for the "mrsas" driver to test under =
FreeBSD 10 and 11? I'd like to know if mrsas can
make it work properly.
Also, I am wondering. Is it possible that syspd support in the driver =
may have caused trouble? I was considering purging it and
try again.
Thanks!
Borja.
