[OpenIndiana-discuss] using LSI 2308-IT onboard supermicro X9DRD-7LN4F-JBOD, openindiana not loading drivers? (OpenIndiana-discuss Digest, Vol 29, Issue 43) (OpenIndiana-discuss Digest, Vol 32, Issue 1)

[Ong Yu-Phing]

In my case, it's a pure storage server, went through ~5 days of 
intensive fio testing, then another month of zfs replication testing, 
and it has been stable (using SATA disks) except for a HW LED indicating 
temperature problems, which is supposed to be a supermicro firmware issue.

So I haven't seen this situation as yours, sorry.
