@SweetAndLow: Looks like as of 9.3 Linux jails have been deprecated in favor of Virtualbox. Not sure how I feel about that, since I never knew what I was missing, but there it is.
Dat understatement.It's said that Linux jails were not very good in practice.
I'm not sure what you are talking about, I said I used a freeBSD jail to do the install, not a linux jail. Also there is still a crashplan plugin in 9.3. You can even do kldload linux.so in 9.3@SweetAndLow: Looks like as of 9.3 Linux jails have been deprecated in favor of Virtualbox.

I'm trying this and getting nowhere. I'm in the UEFI shell, but when I type "fso:", it responds "Invalid mapping name - 'fso:'"I discovered that you can do all this via UEFI boot shell as documented here. There are a few differences though. So here is my recipe:
- Step 1 - Download version 16 of both the UEFI Flashing tool and the DOS/Windows Package containing the flash ROM image from LSI Support.
- Make sure it's v16 because that's the version of the driver FreeNAS 9.2/9.3 use and the firmware should match the driver.
- Step 2 - Decompress them onto a USB Stick
- Step 3 - Boot to UEFI shell on my SuperMicro motherboard
- Step 4 - Navigate to the folder with the flashing tools and ROM like so:
- fso:
- cd foldername
- Step 5 - Erase and Flash the M-1015
- sas2flash.efi -o -e 7
- sas2flash.efi -o -f 2118it.bin (Append -b mptsas2.rom if you want a boot ROM, but you don't need it)
- Step 6 - Reboot and profit!
You can not flash IT firmware on the 9240-8i. If the plan is to use
the drives as JBOD, the 9240-8i supports JBOD.
You need to go into the WeBBIOS via CTRL+H keys. All new disks
should be detected as JBOD .If the drives are detected as Unconfigured
Good Drives, you can convert them into JBOD.
Use storcli to check for status

Thank you
It rebooted after the FreeNAS update, but I just rebooted again for good measure. Still no serials.A simple reboot has been useful in showing the serial numbers, IIRC.
