All, We have a Dell Perc h330 mini that we=E2=80=99ve been using with the = older =E2=80=9Cmfi=E2=80=9D driver, not the newer mrsas. Recently, it = started giving us an error on boot claiming that it was "Disabling = writes to flash as the flash part has gone bad" In the Dell Forums, a dell staffer very suspiciously saw this error and = said =E2=80=9Care you running FreeBSD?=E2=80=9D = (https://www.dell.com/community/en/conversations/rack-servers/disabling-wr= ites-to-flash-as-the-flash-part-has-gone-bad/647f9010f4ccf8a8de13d06e) Is there something about the driver we use that=E2=80=99s known to cause = breakage? Is there a known firmware that fixes this? Is there a better = place to ask this than the general =E2=80=9Cquestions=E2=80=9D list? This system is out of warranty, but as we have a lot of Dell machines = out in the field doing Important DNS Things, I may open a generic case = with a system that *is* under warranty to ask more about this. In the = meantime, if anyone who maintains the driver knows something, I=E2=80=99d = love to hear from you. -Dan
