RE: issues with LSI 9260

HI Manual

Is netbsd able to see the drives if they are setup as JBOD on your
controller.. One of the issue is that netbsd cannot recognize the drives
when I have them setup as JBOD on the LSI controller. I would prefer going
that route so that I can then setup netbsd RAID instead.

I have no idea what this means. Are you sure this is errors ?

Does this report errors ?

It may also be timing-related, I would expect the LSI to be much faster,
especially for writes
