Hello list, I'm having problems with Adaptec 52445 controller. System doesn't detect drives connected to the controller as disks (I expect something like da0?). There are pass devices in the system, and 'camcontrol inquiry 0:0' returns: < ST3750330AS SD15> Fixed unknown SCSI-5 device, but still there is no way to use the disk and GEOM doesn't detect it. Second problem surfaced when looking for a workaround for the first one. After detaching the drive from the controller, it properly vanishes from arcconf utility, however FreeBSD is still very sure that the drive is attached. Pass device is still present and camcontrol lists the device in devlist, however accessing this device via simple volume created on it with arcconf, which is still present in the system even when it's faulty, as all components of this "volume" are gone, causes controller to crash. Has anyone had similar experience with this controller and got around them somehow? I suppose I could use RAID6 from the controller itself, but I'm hoping to give ZFS a try. Above happens on 7.0-PRERELEASE, 7.1-RC and with newest firmware and driver for the controller (build 16343) Cheers!
