Thanks all, The jbod is a PROMISE; The controller card is an Adaptec AIC-9410W BQXB734. I apologize for the confusion. After spending a couple of hours trying to troubleshoot this issue, I decided to give up, luckily for me I had LSI card available that once installed on the FreeBSD machine was able to see all the hard drivers on the Promise. Thanks, you all. -Motty On 11/06/2015 04:10 AM, krad wrote: > LSI cards often have a R and a T firmware, one for raid and one for HBA, > you might want to put the hba firmware on the card and present the drives > native.
