rick.p Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 (edited) all right, the journey into 4k continues.. now need more space I bought the following - Startech 2 port eSata 6gb/s PCI-E controller PEXESAT32 Mediasonic ProBox HF2-SU3S2 4 Bay 3.5” SATA HDD Enclosure – USB 3.0 & eSATA/SATA 3 6.0Gbps I have seen that people have uses the Startech before without issue. So I popped in 4x2tb drives I had from another server that since migrated to 4tb and hooked it all up. The ProBox (apparently) is in eSata mode the drives are being seen (apparently) by the box during startup (see it tick off the activity lights) however, it's a no show in Unraid. No 'un assigned devices' (they were actuve unraid drives) No drives to assign to slots when the array is stopped Nothing.. THis time its above my pay grade to fiture this one out, is the card even being seen? Diagnostics file attached.

rick.p Posted May 30, 2017 Author Share Posted May 30, 2017 Ah ha. Yet that thread says these is a fix/workaround? And/or it was supposed to be fixes in 6.0.1? Suggestions for a working eSata card? Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Disabling IOMMU fixes it, there's also a workaround on that thread but it doesn't always work, other than that is getting a non Marvell controller. Quote Link to comment
rick.p Posted May 30, 2017 Author Share Posted May 30, 2017 (edited) well must be another problem I added append iommu=pt initrd=/bzroot rebooted and still no joy... or do I need tio dig out a keyboard monitor and do it in bios? Edited May 30, 2017 by rick.p Quote Link to comment

Like I said above the workaround doesn't always work, you'll need to disable IOMMU in the bios (if you don't need it) Quote Link to comment
