Hi,

newbie here so wantering what happened. Searched a bit but could not find a solution.

I added a new m2 ssd in a free slot I had in the system. after reboot I can see both m2 ssds but none of the data HDDs

 

looked in Bios and there I see everything.

even tried a tools -> new_config

 

Attached a diagnostics. any help would be appreciated.

if I should have created the topic somewhere else please point me in the right section.

 

Thank you!

Are you sure you didn't touch a power cable/splitter, assuming there are disks on the onboard SATA nothing is being detected:

 

Nov 29 20:17:43 HomeNas kernel: ata7: SATA link down (SStatus 0 SControl 300)
Nov 29 20:17:43 HomeNas kernel: ata5: SATA link down (SStatus 0 SControl 300)
Nov 29 20:17:43 HomeNas kernel: ata6: SATA link down (SStatus 0 SControl 300)
Nov 29 20:17:43 HomeNas kernel: ata2: SATA link down (SStatus 0 SControl 300)
Nov 29 20:17:43 HomeNas kernel: ata1: SATA link down (SStatus 0 SControl 300)

 

pretty sure. oppened the case again and checked after initial reboot. And also since they appear in the Bios with capacity and vendor I doubt it.

But I will check again a bit later if no other ideas come through.

You might also want to check your motherboard manual in case adding the m2 ssd disables something else.

found the issue, some id's on devices got moved around and a sata controller was vfio bound for some reason.

unbounded it from devices and then rebooted to take effect
