This has happened to me on *two* machines with different LSI cards recently. How do they intend to sell redundancy if their whole card crashes when a disk goes down? Yes I know about IT mode firmware, these are not personal boxes, crossflashing experiments aren't an option.

firmware. Just always go for JBOD. MPT is a better LSI driver anyway than mrsas

See reply. I know IT mode works. It's not an option here.

Fun fact: cacheless software parity RAID performance is still way better than (LSI) cacheless hardware parity RAID performance.https://twitter.com/marcan42/status/1051535931411324928?s=19 …

So why using an lsi raid controller in jbod?
Direct attach on ahci works fine isn't it? -
Because that's what server vendors sell you.

What do you think about freenas? ZFS based, seems to be a great choice, not?
-
My only experience with ZFS has been quite poor (horrid snapshot mirroring performance between two FreeNAS instances). I've heard some horror stories of data loss too. And it's not native to Linux. I use CephFS myself. It's a cluster solution but it works on single hosts too.

Had the same think happen to me, a disk drop down of the array and the controller went nut and mptsas did a reset of thye HBA, flapping a hundred SAS path failing the ZFS pool because of the induced latency marking disks as error'ed
-
LSI HP-branded HBA (no raid crap or anything)
