SAS3008 (e.g. LSI 9300-8i) incompatible with Proxmox

You can't passthrough datasets but bind-mount the datasets mountpoints in to a LXC so the LXC can access the data stored on that dataset. But keep in mind that you need to manually edit the user remapping in case of unprivileged LXC: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Unprivileged_LXC_containers

Hallo,
I bought a new HBA with SAS3008. I want to passthroug it to a TrueNAS VM.
When I boot the VM. I get the following error message:

'
Unable to load Avago Technologies MPT BIOS
MTP BIOS Fault 02h encountered at adapter PCI(01h,00h,00h)
Firmware Fault Code: 2667h

Press any key to continue ...
'

If I press any key afer the error, the TrueNAS VM starts and everything looks fine.
But there seems something extremly wrong.
Is the SAS3008 incompatible with Proxmox/Debian?

Its probable you can play around with kernel command line options to get this working- but whats the purpose? proxmox can manage your zfs pool just fine... you can then pass rbds to your nas if you must (although at that point you can just use proxmox to provide nas functions)

I was able to successfully pas through an LSI 9300-16i which is two SAS3008 controllers combined. Following the pci(e) passthrough guide and disabling rombar solved the issue causing the Firmware Fault Code: 2667h. All drives detect and are accessible and usable without issue.

Hi all,

Im having a bit of trouble with my LSI 9300-8i (passed to a truenas VM with no-bar). I use it with 6 SSDs 870QVO 8Tb and when the array is working I get random crashes with no log or kernel messages on both Truenas VM or Proxmox...

I have flashed mine with the recomended firmware from the truenas forum (even though mine came with IT mode).

I think it might be related to the HBA.

How do you think I should debug this?
Any ideas?
