Moving ZFS to a Dell Perc H310 HBA

1 minute read

A friend of mine gave me a Dell Perc H310 HBA nearly half a year ago which was flashed to IT-mode, which basically removes all the fancy RAID functionality from the card and turns it into a dumb HBA, just showing all the disks to the operating system.
