quick backup info.  I just upgraded from a SATA expansion card to a LSI HBA card using the following setup.

installed the Fujitsu 9300-8I SAS 12G SATA 6G PCI-e Controller HBA IT mode

 

nano /etc/default/grub

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet amd_iommu=on iommu=pt pcie_acs_override=downstream,multifunction"

 

nano /etc/modules

vfio
vfio_iommu_type1
vfio_pci
vfio_virqfd

 

 

then I added the card to unraid

 

 

 

and I also change the Machine from I440FX to Q35

 

here is the proxmox settings

 

 

 

and once I had the hard drivers plug,  I fired up my unraid and assigned the drivers to the right location. so far so good

 

so here is the problem,  I have set my Hard Discs to spin down after 15 mins of none use,  but when I try and access a share folder, I have discovered that the discs are not spinning up, and when log onto unraid and manual try and spin up the discs,  then nothing happens, and when I try and access the share via windows explorer my windows hangs and then resets the windows environment.

 

 what have I missing ?
