camcontrol identify with SAS2008 IT controller

[spinoza]

Hello,

I am doing some tests on Nas4Free using the following:
- Nas4Free version: 9.1.0.1.847
- HDD controllers: 2x LSI 9240-8i flashed as SAS2008 IT (firmware 14 and 17 IT (from LSI 9211) tested)
- System disk: 1x USB flash key
Plugged on the 2 SAS2008:
- ZIL: mirror log 2x SSD
- L2ARC: 2x SSD
- Data: 12x 500Gb meca "RAID10" ZFS

My devices are detected:

But camcontrol cannot "pilot" them.

camcontrol identify da2

gives me an empty result. So I cannot be sure if TRIM is supported, spin down, up, etc...

If I try on ... another NAS OS based too on FreeBSD too (same config, I just boot on a different USB key), I get:

[root@filer3] ~# camcontrol identify da2

And I see that TRIM is supported. youhou!
But I would prefer to use Nas4Free for its HDD/volume management GUI.

Is there something I can do to make it work under Nas4Free or do I have to wait for an update of some kind (driver, OS, ...)?

which version of freebsd is the over one?

on the over version can you actually issue the camcontrol standy for a hd to spin them down?

[spinoza]

FreeBSD version:
From "uname -a": FreeBSD 9.1-STABLE

For the spin up/down using camcontrol, here are some results. Tell me if you need more tests:
