El Gabito Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 I am running 5.0-rc11 Intel d915GAG mobo 3TB WD Red 2TB WD Red When I run dmesg | grep SATA I get Jan 26 11:48:03 Tower kernel: ata1: SATA max UDMA/133 cmd 0x20c8 ctl 0x20ec bmdma 0x20a0 irq 19 Jan 26 11:48:03 Tower kernel: ata2: SATA max UDMA/133 cmd 0x20c0 ctl 0x20e8 bmdma 0x20a8 irq 19 I don't get the "link up" - and they appear to be getting lower speed than SATA 1.5 (which is max the mobo supports). Any thoughts on how to correct? unraid_syslog_20130302_1529.txt Quote Link to comment
El Gabito Posted March 2, 2013 Author Share Posted March 2, 2013 Seems to be working ok - they are preclearing now - perhaps the wiki has just been updated so my older mobo acts differently? Or it is an RC11 difference? Quote Link to comment
Automatic Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Seems to be working ok - they are preclearing now - perhaps the wiki has just been updated so my older mobo acts differently? Or it is an RC11 difference? Not too sure about this exact issue, but the wiki is pretty out dated all in all. Quote Link to comment

Or it is an RC11 difference? If you are asking if different hardware, using different versions of Linux, with different software drivers, will have different messages in its system log? The answer is yes. Quote Link to comment
El Gabito Posted March 3, 2013 Author Share Posted March 3, 2013 Thanks guys - I guess I thought the wiki was the authority. Point taken. Still preclearing, so I guess it's working Quote Link to comment
RobJ Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 You have IDE emulation turned on for your SATA drives. When you next boot, go into the BIOS settings and look for the SATA mode, and change it to a native SATA mode, preferably AHCI if available, anything but IDE emulation mode. It should be slightly faster, and a little safer. (I suspect your motherboard will not have AHCI available, but it should have a native SATA choice.) Can you point out what you noticed in the wiki should be updated? Quote Link to comment
El Gabito Posted March 6, 2013 Author Share Posted March 6, 2013 Rob - it was already set to Enhanced(Native). I'll be upgrading the mobo eventually, this might be what I'm stuck with for now...? Quote Link to comment
RobJ Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Rob - it was already set to Enhanced(Native). Interesting. It really does *look* like IDE emulation. The 2 drives are using ata_piix, and they are on the same ata channel, ata2.00 and ata2.01. I'll keep that in mind, it appears to be a Gateway board that is Intel 915 based. Quote Link to comment

El Gabito Posted March 7, 2013 Author Share Posted March 7, 2013 Disabled, Legacy and Enhanced (or Native) Quote Link to comment
