04:00.0 SCSI storage controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic M1064E MegaRAID SAS
(rev 04)
04:00.0 0100: 1000:0057 (rev 04)

LSI MegaRAID device id 0x57 is really an old "software raid" embedded solution.

Support for this device existed in a closed source driver called "megasr", and
will not be added to the open source megaraid_sas drivers.

Adam, my board is a S5000XVN and supports AXXRAKSW5 for RAID5 and im worried
about the expansibility of this board. Will this megasr support or some another
module support?

Also, the closed-source megasr will compile in Kernel 3.11 and forward?

Hello.
There one trick with mptsas driver from recent kernel. Since this is
unofficial, there NO WARRANTY big warning. I not checked for already existing
RAID with data only on just created RAID. Before any actions on actual data
perform backup first!

Turns out, some LSI / Symbios Logic fakeraid cards can be recognized my mptsas
with additional pciids. All you need is find pciids for you card. My card is

lspci -nn | grep LSI
08:00.0 SCSI storage controller [0100]: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic M1064E
MegaRAID SAS [1000:0057] (rev 04)

Where [1000:0057] is PCI ID. Next you need do follow:

echo "1000 0057" > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/mptsas/new_id

Add this row to /etc/rc.conf or somewhere else for applying to next boot.

If all goes right, you physical disks will be appear in system (check dmesg).
For RAID capabilities you need to install mdadm. It autodetects partitions as
/dev/mdX:

# cat /proc/mdstat
Personalities : [linear] [multipath] [raid0] [raid1] [raid6] [raid5] [raid4]
[raid10]
md126 : active raid1 sde[1] sdd[0]
      142577664 blocks super external:/md127/0 [2/2] [UU]
      [=======>.............]  resync = 39.3% (56174464/142577664)
finish=1351.1min speed=1065K/sec
