Hi all, a few weeks ago our Highpoint Rocket Raid controller (hptrr) started biting the dust (spurious channel resets). We bought a LSI 9201-16i (mps) to replace it. Connected to the hptrr were 4 external e-sata enclosures, configured in JBOD mode. Together with two disks connected to the onboard SATA controller, this formed a geli encrypted raidz-2 zpool. Just now, I connected the disks to the mps controller. They show up fine in dmesg. The problem is, when trying to attach the disks formerly connected to the hptrr controller, geli is unable to find the metadata on the disks and errors out with:
"geli: Cannot read metadata from /dev/da4: Invalid argument" gpart show says "gpart: No such geom: da4" Trying to restore the geli metadata gives: "geli: Provider size mismatch: wrong backup file?" Is it possible that the hptrr controller handled the disks in some special way and it's only possible to read them there?
