You could try:
https://people.freebsd.org/~ambrisko/mrsas.patch
and once you have that then:
https://people.freebsd.org/~ambrisko/mrsasutil.patch
you can use mrsasutil with it (ie. mfiutil).
Please let me know if that helps. It's based on -current and helped
with things here. We also saw a performance increase on RAID controllers
without cache but that could be do to the ioctl path changes I did since
we do a lot of state queries via that. In theory the syspd from mfi(4)
could be made to work via da(4) but that isn't what LSI did.
Thanks,
Doug A.
