Current setup: ESXI 5.5 running dual E5-2670 and 128GB ram. Unraid ver 6.5.3 running as a VM. SAS2LP-MV8 card given direct access to unraid VM in ESXI 6 data drives, 1 parity, 1 cache. I tried to upgrade to 6.7.0 and after i reboot to finish the upgrade unraid won't boot past haveged daemon message. Also, when detecting harddrives it give an IO error which i can't remember right now. Something about how the identity can't be found. Earlier in the year I tried to go to 6.6.7 and that failed as well in the same way. I'm not sure what the problem is? Help?

Still the same setup except that I'm running unraid 5.0.5 esx is 5.1.0 No change in status, though I know i should get more perf than this. Oddly my parity writes are 100mb or better.

Help?

Currently I have a esxi server, with the sas2lp-mv8 x.x.1808 firmware installed. Unraid detects the drives, but it detects them all as ata-8 udma/133 drives. the sas2lp is set to 'passthrough' to the unraid vm. When you do a dmesg | grep sata i get nothing Any help?

Hey.. first time post.. I have an esxi server, sas2lp-mv8 with 4 drives. In esxi it reports that the sas2lp is an 'unknown storage controller' however beyond that it seems to work fine except for a couple of issues. Transfer speeds seem slow ~20MB/s up and ~40MB down. More troubling is that all my drives are 3GB/s SATA drives and during Unraid startup it reports the drives as being ATA UDMA/133 and not the expected SATA. Any ideas why my drives aren't being detected as SATA? On the mobo bios I have ACHI turned on with one 1TB drive hooked up. Off of the sas I have 3 drives, one 2TB parity drive, and two 2TB storage drives. They are all sata. I'm currently running unraid 5.0 rc13 Thanks for your help..
