unRAID won't detect all drives when more than 26 drives installed

[brun0]

Hi,

 

I'm running unRAID v6 beta12 and have a problem starting up when more than 26 drives are attached to the server.

Drive 27 is recognized correct as sdaa, but it seems unRAID only supports 3 charakter drives (sda-sdz).

When I boot the server one of the unRAID disks is getting assigned as sdaa and then it won't be recognized as a device.

Mounting and accessing the drive in shell is possible so it seems to be a emhttp problem.

 

I have installed 24 Data Drives, 1 Parity, 1 Cache Disk, the USB Device to boot and another Harddisk where I store my Virtualbox VMs.

If I power up the 27. device after the system boot is finished the last device is assigned to sdaa and unraid is running without issues, but I have to load all the drivers and services which should start at boottime by hand.

This is a WELL KNOWN limitation!

If you could arrange ports so your extra hard disk to store VMs is the sdaa device, you should be ok.
