Anyone ever changed the "Device Exposure" setting in an Avago RAID controller BIOS? #raid #hardware
It's a very weird setting causing the controller to - duh - expose only n drives to the host. You can't choose which, it seems to just expose the first n drives. FreeBSD wouldn't boot with 36 drives exposed, but does with 4 or 16. MBR bootloader that is.
@FiLiS You need FreeBSD Premium Enterprise for 32+ disks…
@FiLiS Wasn't @mwl complaining that FreeBSD wouldn't boot with 36 (virtual) drives attached?
@bodems but @mwl crashed the host running bhyve, not the guests bootloader _inside_, no?

@FiLiS @bodems

The guest crashed at 36.

bhyve wouldn't boot with 75.
