@jmccoy555 got it. Thank you for being with me during this amazing journey

@sapcode Sorry to hear you're experiencing the same issue. I couldn't find a solution, and QAT was sold long ago—no QAT, no issues.

Hello all, having an issue passing through QAT adapter to PFsense that I do not understand, so need some assistance.
On PFsense forum suggested that
"it does look like it's not passing that device through correctly. Or not completely."

Also the card is visible via xl pci-assignable-list after i passed it to pfsense. not sure if it is expected or not

@olivierlambert having exactly the same issue as wcom939 reported.
What did you mean by "Can you try with xe command to see if you have the same error?" ? Migrate using CLI? there are too many options:)

@jmccoy555 got it. Thank you for being with me during this amazing journey

@jmccoy555 sorry but didn't get it. I'm a newbie

Finally, I found a solution to the issue:
https://www.truenas.com/community/threads/multiple-ada0-partitions-on-xen-pv-w-passthrough.16574/

set via GUI tunables interface:

hint.ada.0.at="scbus100".

Works perfectly!

@jmccoy555 so managed to do it with a dirty hack

1. Spwaned a new VM with 3 virtual drives
   ada0 - 5gb
   ada1 - 5gb
   ada2 - 50gb
2. installed Truenas on ada2.
3. After installation removed ada0 and ada1
4. Rebooted VM and confirmed that ada2 is still ada2
5. passed through SATA controller
6. Bingo!!

@jmccoy555 said in Sata controller passthrough. VM no bootable device:

@impovich Ah yeah. Only passed though a controller to Linux VMs and that works fine. Could try TrueNAS Scale??

https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/dev-ad4-becomes-dev-ada0.29899/ Any help?

I'm out of ideas I'm afraid.

I tried to do the same with Debian, no success. Reading freebsd forum regarding labeling

@jmccoy555 i guess you have an HBA controller?

@jmccoy555 i just tried what you've suggested, unfortunately two ada0 disks again
