LSI 9211 problem with hardware raid (unsupportable block size [random number])

C

cedivad

I'm trying to install freebsd FreeBSD with this card, using it over a hardware RAID 1. This only happens with raided devices, it works using ubuntu.

Code: 
# fdisk /dev/da24
(da24:umass-sim0:0:0:00): unsupportable block size 0 (this sometimes is zero, others a random number)
fdisk: can't open device... etc

I wanted to use hardware RAID for the OS partition to make things easier, but maybe I now should use software RAID even for the boot.

I'm confused.

What do you suggest me to do?

Thanks.
 
What size of harddrives? If these are 2 TB or larger drives, you won't be able to use fdisk to partition them. MBR partitioning (fdisk) has a 2 TB limit.
