Missing disk serials and multipaths

[thomas_k]

I built a new system containing two LSI 9207-8i (SAS2308-based) controllers connected to a dual-SAS backplane. Using FreeNAS-8.3.1-RELEASE-x64 (r13452) i get no serial numbers displayed in the web interface. also when using both backplane connections no multipaths are detected automatically. disks connected to the onboard SATA-connectors do not show any serial numbers either.

When using 'camcontrol inquiry <disk>' or 'smartctl -i <disk>' at console all serials are displayed with no error.

Example (first controller path):

Code:

[root@znas] /# camcontrol inquiry da0
pass0: <SEAGATE ST3600057SS 0008> Fixed Direct Access SCSI-5 device
pass0: Serial Number 6SL5LV7X0000B3250F0X
pass0: 600.000MB/s transfers, Command Queueing Enabled

[root@znas] /# smartctl -i /dev/da0
smartctl 5.43 2012-06-30 r3573 [FreeBSD 8.3-RELEASE-p6 amd64] (local build)

Example (second controller path - same disk as above):

Code:

pass4: Serial Number 6SL5LV7X0000B3250F0X

Database content (found this query in an older bug report concerning disk serials):

Code:

[root@znas] /# sqlite3 /data/freenas-v1.db "select disk_name,disk_identifier,disk_serial from storage_disk;"
da0|{devicename}da0|
da1|{uuid}1380a6c9-9212-11e2-a38c-0025902f74d8|
da2|{devicename}da2|
da3|{uuid}4d211b71-9214-11e2-a38c-0025902f74d8|
da4|{uuid}4bca0dbf-9214-11e2-a38c-0025902f74d8|
da5|{uuid}4aad89fc-9214-11e2-a38c-0025902f74d8|
da6|{uuid}496180e7-9214-11e2-a38c-0025902f74d8|
da7|{devicename}da7|

I also tried removing all disks but one, and removing one controller from the system with no success.

Are there any more logfiles i can search for errors?

Thanks in advance.

yo thomas K, this link might help. It works for me with highpoint controllers Link

Or wait until later this week, possibly today, for -p1 which already has this fix among others included.
