JorgeB Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 RAID controller is failing to initialize: Jun 5 02:59:51 Taii kernel: megaraid_sas 0000:05:00.0: Ignore DCMD timeout: megasas_get_ctrl_info 5274 Jun 5 02:59:51 Taii kernel: megaraid_sas 0000:05:00.0: Could not get controller info. Fail from megasas_init_adapter_fusion 1865 Jun 5 02:59:51 Taii kernel: megaraid_sas 0000:05:00.0: Failed from megasas_init_fw 6406 Look for a firmware update, though we don't really recommend RAID controllers with Unraid, since it uses an LSI SAS3408 it might be flashable to IT mode, you can look for that, but it will likely require a new config and even after that it's not certain to correctly mount existing disks, one of the reason we don't recommend RAID.
