DarkKnight Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Server has finally been stable for several days on my new X8DTE/dual L5640 platform. I just restarted it and enabled VT-d in bios (and nothing else), and right away on boot two random disks are kicked out of the array and the whole system runs sluggish and the console hangs. VT-d disabled, everything is okay again, except for having to rebuild the two kicked disks. diagnostics.zip Link to comment

That's probably it. However, 2 years later and no patch integration? I was on an AMD board prior to this and the AMD version of VT-d was enabled for months with no problems. Link to comment
DarkKnight Posted August 3, 2017 Author Share Posted August 3, 2017 I put in a support request with Highpoint. They said they would update their open source driver to resolve this issue in a few days. Now that is supporting your product. Assuming this actually happens, how can we get this rolled into the next release of Unraid? In the mean time, how can I test it to see if the driver fixes the issue? Link to comment
JorgeB Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Not sure, your controllers are using the mvsas driver, this is the same driver used by the Supermicro SASLP/SAS2LP and some other non-AHCI Marvell controllers, you'd need to ask LT to include the driver. Link to comment
