I have ASR-2405 Adaptec RAID controller as SATA ports onboard are
full.. but I keep optical drives on it.

There is a dedicated BIOS menu for this card that you can trigger on
boot to see the card status settingc etc.

It only works in BIOS mode (prompt is not visible when UEFI boot is
selected). Also you may want to enable "cards prompt to firmware
settings" or something like that if the card firmware prompt does not
show up. The prompt should show before POST screen or after POST
screen and right before the OS loader prompt (I do not remember
exactly and that also may depend on your machine).

Regarding the RAID status I am using ZFS ZRAID2 and its status can be
verified with zpool.

Regarding the arcconf it core dumps for me too on `arcconf getconfig 1`.

Building port with debug symbols allows seeing the backtrace:

root@octagon:/usr/ports/sysutils/arcconf # make clean; make reinstall
WITH_DEBUG=yes

then

root@octagon:/usr/ports/sysutils/arcconf # lldb arcconf getconfig 1

No matter what command trace looks always the same. Seems like a bug
in the application that prevents the initial read of the device
info..?

There is no man page for arcconf:

root@octagon:/usr/ports/sysutils/arcconf # man arcconf
No manual entry for arcconf

There seems to be no source code to analyze, just a binary builds
provided by MicroSemi / Microchip.

I am attaching port maintainer, maybe Michael will be able to help? :-)
