Hi,
I've installed a FreeBSD (stable 9.2) as a guest on ESXi 5.5. I've added
Adaptec Controller via passthrough. Unfortunately FreeBSD does not show hard
drives. Any clue?

Common wisdom in the FreeNAS (based on FreeBSD) community says that reliable PCI passthrough is a complicated matter of picking exactly the few ?good? components and in the end not a good idea, anyway. You might want to start with this thread: http://forums.freenas.org/threads/please-do-not-run-freenas-in-production-as-a-virtual-machine.12484/ Sorry I could not be of more help.

Otherwise you're at the mercy of VMWare support, who in my past experience have no interest in fixing problems for FreeBSD users. The Foundation is working on relations with VMWare, though.

Unfortunately FreeBSD does not show > hard > drives. Any clue?It?s a problem with the FreeBSD driver. I?ve been running FreeNAS for over a year now in this exact setup. I?ve been using the 9.0 FreeBSD driver from the Adaptec update site along with the newest firmware, I was using the b30034 version of the driver(you might need to pick a newer card on the support site to get your hands on that version of the driver). I recently updated to FreeNAS 9.2RC2 and it broke the binary driver and I had to compile the source for the adaptec site to get a working driver again. It does spit out a bunch of CAM errors during boot up but I?ve been using it in production for over a year now without issue. I do highly recommend switching to a LSI card if you can, I don?t have an option on the box I?m using. Also do read that thread about using FreeNAS in a virtual environment. Just make sure you follow the suggestions that make sense for your environment.
