LSI 2208, FreeBSD v9.1p3 and passthrough devices

Capture of mfi JBOD devices (mfi syspd) information to accertain why the devices don't 'just work' with smartctl.

Peripheral List

# camcontrol periphlist /dev/mfisyspd3
camcontrol: cam_lookup_pass: CAMGETPASSTHRU ioctl failed
cam_lookup_pass: No such file or directory
cam_lookup_pass: either the pass driver isn't in your kernel
cam_lookup_pass: or mfisyspd3 doesn't exist

Howto add the mfi passthrough driver to a Nas4Free embedded installation:

# mount -u -o rw /cf
# echo 'mfip_load="YES"' >> /cf/boot/loader.conf
# mount -u -o ro /cf

The device list shows the mfisyspd devices with just a passthrough device name.

# camcontrol devlist -v
