Hi All,
Can't seem to find similar issue on the forum. This is a fresh FreeNAS 8.3.1 install. I am using Intel mobo with build-in RAID controller which I really would like to use (or at least try).
After a bit of tinkering, I have loaded graid geom driver through tunables and I can now successively see my raid controller and create a RAID1 volume from CLI using graid. The issue is that GUI would refuse to see the newly created geom (raid/r0 which maps to /dev/raid/r0) as a new drive. So I went ahead and partitioned the raided volume with gpart and formatted with UFS. Still no go. Neither new partition nor newly formatted volume are there in the GUI.
Everything works just fine under CLI, I can see the HW raid, I can do whatever I want with it, format, mount.... Just cannot get GUI to see anything I do. All I see is two separate drives, that's it.
Just wonder if anyone tried this before, I am not looking at ZFS at this time, just wanted plain ol' simple UFS volume on top of HW RAID1. Any CLI command to export created volume so GUI can pick it up? Any hints are greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
