Enver Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 (edited) Hello, Has anyone installed the ARECA driver for unRAID 8.6.3? You can download the latest driver here: http://www.areca.us/support/s_unRAID/driver/unRAID-6.8.3.zip ARECA does provide instructions but for me they don't make sense. They refer to zip files that don't exist and want you create a bootable USB for some reason? I would have thought booting into unRAID via USB as normal would be the way to go, to skip the USB bootable key creation part and skip to step 5 in the following instructions. The problem is the ARCMSR driver is in use when I attempt "rmmod arcmsr" via cmdline. Can someone please provide some guidance how to do this? I have an ARECA 1883ix-12 card the temperatures and SMART info has never worked for me, the card in in JBOD mode; my current theory is whatever driver version is in the vanilla version of unRAID 8.6.3 doesn't understand this card; hence my attempt to upgrade to the latest OEM driver. Update device driver for Raid controllers that were not supported by build-in driver ======================================================================================== 1. Extract unRAIDServer-6.8.x-x86_64.zip to an USB flash drive with volume label 'UNRAID'. 2. Extract arcmsr-1.50.0X.00-20200310-unRAID-6.8.x.zip to UNRAID USB flash drive /. 3. Right-click on the file °•make_bootable°¶ and select °•Run as administrator°¶. The °•syslinux°¶ utility will write the Master Boot Record and create a small hidden file named °•ldlinux.sys°¶ on the Flash device, making it bootable. 4. Boot from unRAID USB flash drive. 5. After boot up, login as root. type following commands to update device driver. # rmmod arcmsr # insmod /boot/arcmsr.ko.xz 6. To make new arcmsr.ko.xz driver take effect for next boot, type following command to rebuild bzmodules. # cp /boot/buildbzmod /root # chmod +x buildbzmod # ./buildbzmod # reboot Edited May 24, 2020 by Enver Quote Link to comment
BWBama85 Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 Bumping this because I have the exact same question. How can I install the drivers from Areca's website for my 1260? Quote Link to comment
