Hi All!

 

I started my home media server and progressed from Win7->Nas4Free->WinServer2012 to unRAID Pro. Very satisfied with what unRAID can offer comparing to other solutions for home storage necessities. While I was preclearing the drives (11 drives) which took me a little over a week (been running 4 processes simultaneously, 3 cycles each drive), I was reading the forums and FAQs and was able to successfully install virtualbox, simplefeatures and play around with other features.

After the process finished I noticed that one of my drives is not recognized - 320GB PATA drive - which I just received after RMA. It is recognized in BIOS and works just fine outside of unRAID server, however it is not visible in the web interface and is not available for preclearing either.

My motherboard is Supermicro C2SEA, drive is plugged into the onboard 80pin socket.

Please help to add this drive to the array - I was thinking to use it mostly for torrents and temporary data.

 

Thanks in advance.

 

PS Running the 5.0-rc12a stock, syslog attached

 

PPS I noticed that devices have names sda, sdb, ... up to sdl, but sdc is missing from the sequence. Could it be that IDE drive or it would have a different name since it's not SATA drive or is it a flash drive? I played around with freebsd (Nas4free) couple weeks ago and 320GB drive was visible and working fine, so I assume no settings in the BIOS need to be altered.

Is this your flash drive?  It is /dev/sdc

A PATA drve would normally be /dev/hdX

 

Are you sure you have the IDE drive controller enabled in the BIOS?

Thanks for reply, Joe.

 

Yes, sdc is the 8gig flash drive.

Like I said, IDE device is recognized in the BIOS and I never changed the IDE settings since I installed it and all previous OS could work with the drive with no issues. However, I can stop the parity sync (it was my first time adding devices to the array and first parity sync) and change the required settings in the BIOS, but what are those?

 

Edited: Found this old thread here on the forum: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=4159.0

Does it mean that the IDE controller on board is still not supported? MB is in the HCL though...
