Intel integrated RAID for the SR2500ALLXR freebsd support

[Gabriel Markley]

This is what was found:
dev.mfid.0.%desc: MFI Logical Disk
dev.mfid.0.%driver: mfid
dev.mfid.0.%parent: mfi0
hptmv.status: RocketRAID 182x SATA Controller driver Version v1.12


mfi driver

Does anyone know the command to get a detailed status out of this driver?

This would probably fall under the mpt(4) or mfi(4) driver.  I don't
know if either of those drivers have support for that exact model of LSI
controller, however.

Best bet would be to get a FreeBSD livefs or bootonly CD and then see
what is (or is not) detected.
