Hi,
I want to use an LSI MegaRAID 9260 on FreeBSD 8.2 amd64 using mfi and I have
two quick questions:
LSI's MegaRaid SAS documentation [1] states that "Currently, the FreeBSD driver is
supported only on 32-bit FreeBSD". On the other hand the FreeBSD 8.2 hardware
compatibility page [2] states that the mfi driver supports the MegaRaid 9260 in all three
of the i386, ia64, amd64 ports.
Is LSI's documentation simply out of date or is there some issue with the mfi
driver on amd64?
There are two different diverged mfi drivers!
One that comes with FreeBSD and works well with the 9260 cards both
under i386 and amd64.
Then we have the LSI driver, this one works under i386 and some versions
also works under amd64 but the latest one on LSI:s web is i386 only. The
current LSI driver supports the 9240 budget cards "skinny" and also the
new fast 9265/9285 cards "Thunderbolt" these are not supported by the
FreeBSD driver.
