LSI / AVAGO 3108 MegaRAID

[Zardoz89]

Two small details with this MegaRAID SAS board

• Have the strange behaviour of unplugging and pluging back a disk from an array doesn't make the controller rebuild the array with that disk. (Force rebuild instructions works ok 👍 )
• To get smartmontools / smartctl working on the drives , I only need "/dev/sda -d megaraid,X", not "/dev/sda -d sat+megaraid,X"

As a tiny postscript, this still works. MegaCli64 -AdpAllInfo -aAll and storcli64 show all

Be aware, there is no "FAIL" message if it's run as a normal user; use sudo and it detects the LSI 3108 fine.
