Sata controller missing after 6.7 upgrade


Recommended Posts

So I upgraded to 6.7 today and after it rebooted I have an array that wont start and seem to be missing a couple of disks. I suspect that they are connected to the StarTech.com 3 Port PCI Ex press 2.0 SATA III 6 Gbps RAID Controller Card.

 

How do I go about

1) Determining if indeed this card is missing?

2) Getting UnRaid to detect it?

 

Thanks

 

Everything was working fine right before the upgrade.

There are known kernel/driver issues with some but not all Marvell SATA controllers.

04:00.0 SATA controller [0106]: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88SE9230 PCIe SATA 6Gb/s Controller [1b4b:9230] (rev 10)

See also this post in the Unraid 6.7 announcement topic for a possible workaround.

thanks for the response. Its working now, the issue was with the Marvell 88SE9230 SATA Chipset, appending "iommu=pt" in my syslinux fixed it. 

 

@Squiggley Would you mind sharing what the modified syslinux.cfg looked like? I've never done this in practice and want to see if this resolves my issue with the same controller.

I didn't edit the syslinux.cfg...... if you click Main -> Boot Device -> Flash -> Syslinux Configuration

in the section unRAID OS I added iommu=pt

 

so mine reads 

kernel /bzimage
append initrd=/bzroot iommu=pt

 

Hope this helps
