Hi,..i've been busy all day trying to get my onboard controller to pass through my hard drives to ZFSGuru (or freenas..whatever works)
\the problem is.. it is an onboard raid controller. AS i already got my virtual machines on the same controller, i cannot passtrough the whole thing. To get ZFS roperly working, I need to pass my harddrives through to the VM.
Now, it is possible to RDC the drives using SSH... which I tried.
I added according various tutorials the drives as RDC.
First problem is that I wasn't able to use >2 TB drives.
The solution herefore was using a -z flag instead of -r. I thought it worked. i attached the raw drives using "choose existing hard drive". ( http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=20192.0 )
I started up the machine and i've gotten the message: "the blahblahblah is locked".
Forums said i need to delete the lockfiles.. but i cant find them.
I rebooted esxi and try reinstalling the VM,.. but now the shares are gone too..
what can I do? I only have one slot for a pcie (since its a 1u server),. and i prefer to use it for infiniband in a later stage...
I'm completely out of ideas other than buying a HBA and loose my possibility to use infiniband
