MEGCLI adding a drive
I have a feebsd system running...I have a 2 tb DRIVE INSTALLED IN IT BUT FreeBSD does not see it. However I have run megacli and it sees the drive. I want FreeBSD to see it without it being an array, yes just one drive. How do I do that. Here is the info that megacli returned on a query.

What system? What controller? Assuming a PERC 5/6/H7x0 ... they do NOT support non-RAID/JBOD/pass-through, so you must configure your disk as a single-disk RAID 0 before it is presented by the controller to the OS.

Its a Dell 1950. With a Perc 5i controller. And yes I figured out that i need to go raid zero with one drive. NOw i just need to figure out how to tell the controller to do what I need, I have also figured out that the drive is at [8:1].

Sorry, I don't know the CLI commands for that.
