In terms used by mfiutil(8), 'JBOD' means logical volumes backed by RAID-0
arrays of single physical drives.

Take the example of creating JBOD volumes from the man page:

     Configure the first three disks on a controller as JBOD:

           mfiutil create jbod 0 1 2

This creates logical volumes.

In contrast to:

     Reconfigure a disk as a SYSPD block device with no RAID

           mfiutil syspd 0

This makes specified physical drive directly accessible.

For consistency, mfiutil(8) should this drive state as 'SYSTEM' or 'SYSPD'.
