Team I have googled around for a solution and I see a lot of posts about firmware versions and patches for FreeBSD 8.*. I have a FreeBSD 9.1rc1 system, which was beta1 orginally and has been running for months. Now it will not boot, I get the following: "Trying to mount root from zfs:tank/root []..... mfi0: COMMAND 0Xffffff8000cb83530 TIMEOUT AFTER xxx SECONDS (this just repeats). I have not seen this error before during normal runtime, _only_ during boot. Originally when I had the problem I could boot off a USB stick (9.1beta1 or rc1), run a 'zpool import -f tank' and it would work on the livecd. Rebooting and the main system would work. This time this work around does not work for me. When I am on the USB stick I can run a 'zpool import' and all of the disk are recognised, the pool is recognised and the file system is healthy. The Card is a H700 PERC, with 12.10.3 firmware in a Dell R515. Running FreeBSD 9.1-RC1, latest zfs and zpool versions. I have tried disabling the cache (mfiutil cache xxx disable). I have also gone into the Card settings and changed under advanced settings "adaptive forward read" to "read only". Any help, appreciated.
