Removable SCSI drives issues


Recommended Posts

I have the last version of unRAID and after a fresh boot, sdb, sdc and sde shows as Virtual Floppy or virtual disks.

I think it's related to some virtual USB devices:

root@server:~# lsusb
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 13fe:5500 Kingston Technology Company Inc.
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 007: ID 046b:ff10 American Megatrends, Inc. Virtual Keyboard and Mouse
Bus 001 Device 006: ID 046b:ff31 American Megatrends, Inc.
Bus 001 Device 005: ID 046b:ff40 American Megatrends, Inc.
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 046b:ff20 American Megatrends, Inc.
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 046b:ff01 American Megatrends, Inc.
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0764:0501 Cyber Power System, Inc. CP1500 AVR UPS
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

I have no idea why there are so many American Megatrends peripherals here. I do have multiple VMs but they're not even loaded yet at that point (it's before the array is started). I'm not a Linux expert yet, where should I look to see what exactly is assigning these sdb/sdc/sdd virtual drives? I can see them in my syslog but nothing really special about them...

It doesn't say from which VM configuration it comes from (if any). I have a grand total of 5 cables hooked up to my server: 3 ethernet cables, the power cable and the UPS (usb). I also have an internal USB port with the flash drive containing the unRAID image (I assume it's the USB Mass Storage device above).

 

I'm kinda stuck. It doesn't have any direct impact but I do hate having my first drive as sde instead of sdb.

 

Also, this is always unchecked for all my VMs:

Additional data: All my VMs are Linux except one running Windows Server 2008. Looking at the XML I'm thinking it could be the problematic VM.

Not sure if that helps...
