Ken/Scott,

On FreeBSD11.0 RC1, we are facing an issue where SATA drives connected
behind LSI's MegaRAID controller getting deleted and added back after
controller reset.
I am using Broadcom/Avago/LSI's  MegaRAID Invader controller(device ID-
0x005d). The point to note here is- this behavior is not observed with SAS
drives on FreeBSD11.0-RC1.
Also on FreeBSD10.3 this behavior is not at all observed on SATA as well.
We are debugging the issue but it would be much helpful if we can get
quick inputs/pointers.

Please find below the detailed information-

OS: FreeBSD 11.0 RC1
Controller: LSI's MegaRAID invader controller

Connected devices list:

added back):
