Kir Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Hi gents, I'm testing a new installation of Unraid 6 rc5 with just 1 drive in the enclosure, but it doesn't seem to see it at all. I'm not a Linux guru, so can't really pinpoint the reason from syslog (attached). It does contain the line showing that drive, which is more confusing if it weren't detected at all... syslog.txt Link to comment
RobJ Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 There's a Hitachi drive there, but it's on a very strange controller, and the drive is not accessible. I suspect you have a RAID card that's not configured correctly. It has to be configured as something other than a RAID mode, possibly with a different non-RAID firmware. You might check the drives and controllers forum for more help. Look for threads about your exact card model. Link to comment
Kir Posted June 10, 2015 Author Share Posted June 10, 2015 It's an Adaptec ASR-5805 Could not find anything about it using the search forum function... Link to comment
RobJ Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Then it's almost certainly not compatible. unRAID cannot use a RAID card, unless it can be converted or reprogrammed as a non-RAID card, and then is only compatible if the drivers for it are already included. Like many other similar products, you do have to use compatible hardware. I'm sorry. Link to comment

Kir Posted June 15, 2015 Author Share Posted June 15, 2015 Got it solved. If anybody is interested, I can write a little guide that applies to most of the Adaptec ASR controllers. Link to comment
