I'm building a FreeNAS box based off a used Dell R510. Got rid of the H700 card that came with it and bought an IBM M1015 controller as recommended by many other users.
Here's my build thread in case anyone is interested: https://forums.freenas.org/index.php?threads/dell-r510-server-build-advice-appreciated.56718

Questions:
- I searched through a lot of M1015 threads here on the forums, but many of them were quite old and referenced using M1015 controllers with FreeNAS version 9.
- I plan on installing version 11.0 of FreeNAS, but want to make sure that the M1015 card is crossflashed with the firmware that is most compatible with v11 of FreeNAS.
- What is the most current crossflashing procedure for the M1015? Any guides/videos/links for a newbie to read would be appreciated.
- Also, which version of the firmware is confirmed working and stable with FreeNAS 11.0? Can it be downloaded directly from LSI's site, or is there another repository I should get them from?
