This is not fully correct: You don't get the "pass" devices instead of the "da" devices, but you get the "pass" devices _without_ the corresponding "da" devices. See this example: % camcontrol devlist <HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-H42N RL00> at scbus0 target 0 lun 0 (pass0,cd0) [...] <WDC WD15 EARS-00MVWB0 > at scbus4 target 0 lun 0 (da3,pass4) You always get "pass" devices (even for SCSI scanners), but in your case, the "da" devices are missing.

The reason? Maybe the controller you're using, "PROMISE 2U-SAS-12-D2 BP 0107, LSI card" (as you wrote) is not configured to represent the devices as "normal" hard disks to the operating system? Additional question: Have you loaded the driver that supports your card (mfi, mpr, mpt, mps etc.) in /boot/loader.conf? -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
