Access to RAID arrays (logical disks) from this driver is provided via .Pa /dev/mfid? device nodes. A simple management interface is also provided on a per-controller basis via the .Pa /dev/mfi? device node. .Pp The .Nm name is derived from the phrase "MegaRAID Firmware Interface", which is substantially different than the old "MegaRAID" interface and thus requires a new driver. Older SCSI and SATA MegaRAID cards are supported by .Xr amr 4 and will not work with this driver. .Pp Two sysctls are provided to tune the .Nm driver's behavior when a request is made to remove a mounted volume. By default the driver will disallow any requests to remove a mounted volume. If the sysctl .Va dev.mfi.%d.delete_busy_volumes is set to 1, then the driver will allow mounted volumes to be removed. .Sh HARDWARE The .Nm driver supports the following hardware: .Pp .Bl -bullet -compact .It LSI MegaRAID SAS 1078 .It LSI MegaRAID SAS 8408E .It LSI MegaRAID SAS 8480E .It LSI MegaRAID SAS 9260 .It Dell PERC5 .It Dell PERC6 .It IBM ServeRAID M5015 SAS/SATA .It IBM ServeRAID-MR10i .It Intel RAID Controller SROMBSAS18E .El .Sh FILES .Bl -tag -width ".Pa /dev/mfid?" -compact .It Pa /dev/mfid? array/logical disk interface .It Pa /dev/mfi? management interface .El .Sh DIAGNOSTICS .Bl -diag .It "mfid%d: Unable to delete busy device" An attempt was made to remove a mounted volume. .El .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr amr 4 , .Xr pci 4 , .Xr mfiutil 8 .Sh HISTORY The .Nm driver first appeared in .Fx 6.1 . .Sh AUTHORS The .Nm driver and this manual page were written by .An Scott Long Aq scottl@FreeBSD.org . .Sh BUGS The driver does not support big-endian architectures at this time.
