January 8, 201214 yr Hello, Am using unraid 4.7 with three disks, 1 1.5 Gb & 2 1 Gb disks. Case: Nexus prominent 9 PSU: Corsair 650HX MB: Asus P8H67-M-LE with realtec 8112L NIC Proc: Intel I3 2100 Mem: 1x 4 Gb trancend 1333 bank (came with the processor) 2x coolermaster stacker 4 in 3 modules 1x supermicro aoc saslp mv8 card for near future expansion 1x kingston mobile lite g2 cardreader wit 16Gb memory. When I am starting the system I can see the disks in de bios settings. In unraid I do not see them, one drive is new and not precleared, the other two are used and were precleared twice. I precleared them when testing unraid 5.14 but I could not get shares to work, permission problems. Started over with 4.7 but now I do not see them. Non of the three drives can be chosen to use in the array. I am a linux noob and do not know where to look for answers. Can someone point in the right direction. Syslog attached. Solved: I had to clear the CMOS and put the SATA ports ACHI mode afterwards, running 4.7 now for the moment. Will try 5RC when it arrives (hopefully soon) just to see if I have problems with shared then. Right now all is looking good finally. syslog-2012-01-08_1.txt
January 8, 201214 yr You need to tell people about your hardware - motherboard, chip-set or any other disk controller hardware used. It could be that it is not fully compatible with the kernel used in 4.7.
January 8, 201214 yr Thanks for the added info. Searching the forum for Asus boards with the H67 chip-set it seems there have been a number of issues with unRAID 4.7 which do not appear with 5.0 beta versions - this can include missing drives. Although you are new to Linux, I think you'll be better off sticking with 5.0 and working through the other issues. I'm just about to hop on a plane to China for a week, so can;t be much more help right now - sorry about that.
January 8, 201214 yr Author Thanks for the information. Sort of lost them in v5 beta 14. Have a good flight. See you on the forums. Hope other members can help!
January 11, 201214 yr Author tried to change the mode to ahci in the bios but cannot as it is greyed out in th efi bios. flashed the latest bios but still no joy. What next, ask asus support?
January 11, 201214 yr Sometimes there is another option that needs to be turned on before AHCI becomes an available option. Usually it is something to do with ACPI. Something to play around with.
January 11, 201214 yr Sometimes there is another option that needs to be turned on before AHCI becomes an available option. Usually it is something to do with ACPI. Something to play around with. indeed, you may have to change the SATA mode to Natice, or Enhanced instead of IDE or Compatible.
January 11, 201214 yr Author I can look for that. I know that other options greyed out in sata settings in the bios were on enhanced. Coul not change these settings. but what i do not get is that I could see the disks and could preclear them and that at some point (unfortunately at the same time when I wanted to try 4.7 as I could not get user shares to work with my win 7 laptop. Could make the shares, could not write or delete from them. Permission issues. That was with two wd10eads drives. When I started with 4.7 I added a completely new wd15 drive, could not see that either. When looking in /dev and doing an ls, the only thing that I recoqnize as drive is sda and sda1 and that seems to be the usb cardreader with an SDHC card with unraid on it. Could there be something else that's going on. I do not know what to do anymore. Installed ubuntu 11.1 on the usb card (diffrerent one) and I could not see the drives either or at least not availiable.
