anyone using this card with Windows 7?
Now for my own question.
What is INT13?
I remember people talking about this earlier in the thread, but do I need to change something on here to be able to boot from the controller for WHS?
dd if=/dev/zero of=test.file bs=1M count=1K; sync; date
anybody out there?
Anyway, queries continue.
My server board is an Asus P5Q. It features 1 PCI-E 2.0 16x (graphics card), and 2 PCI-E 1x.
The aforementioned controller is a PCI-E x4 if I am not mistaken.
Would that be a problem, in terms of compatibility and speed issues? Does the add-on card fit in a pci-e x1 slot?
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Can I fit the controller into the Pci-e 16x slot (graphics card slot) since no graphics card is needed for Whs.
Would I, in that case, get full potential (speed) of the controller?

Try the dd test:
Code:dd if=/dev/zero of=test.file bs=1M count=1K; sync; date
hdparm doesn't really tell much.
Those warning are ok, don't worry about them.
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/md5 bs=1M count=1K; sync; date

Hi guys!
Have done a clean install of Ubuntu Kermic 2.6.31-kernel and my RAID5 array is working... at 25MB/s read with hdparm.
I've just installed the svn driver from http://sourceforge.net/projects/scst/ , so I suppose the cause is somewhere else than in the drivers. Any suggestions? Could it be some settings with the array for instance? I've set it up with mdadm (sw Ubuntu raid)
I've got:
2,0GHz Opteron s939
DFI LANPARTY SLI-DR
2GB RAM
Here's my lsmod output:
libsas 56456 1 mvsas
scsi_transport_sas 35488 2 mvsas,libsas
I've got the Marvell Technology Group Ltd. MV64460/64461/64462 System Controller, Revision B (rev 01).
HamCore:/home/gwk# uname -r
2.6.31-1-amd64
HamCore:/home/gwk# lsmod|grep sas
mvsas 48224 0
libsas 50536 1 mvsas
scsi_transport_sas 33936 2 mvsas,libsas

scsi_mod 172992 5 sd_mod,mvsas,libsas,scsi_transport_sas,libata

02:00.0 SCSI storage controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. MV64460/64461/64462 System Controller, Revision B (rev 01)
so there is a new, interesting development on this issue: my card does not work either. I get a ton of mvs_abort_task errors and apparently, I am not alone

If anyone has a solution on how to use this card in Linux for a raid array, let em know
Apparently my 2.6.31-1-amd64 Kernel has a different module?

Looks like there is light at the end of the tunnel in the next kernel:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14534
I've configured this card in a Gigabyte GA-EP45-DS5.
Despite what Gigabyte say, if you have a PCI-e video card in the first PCI-e x16 slot then the second PCI-e x8 slot isn't reserved just for Crossfire switching but can support a RAID card such as the AOC-SASLP-MV8. But I have had to retain BIOS F7 inorder to eanble the GSATA secondary satat 2 ports as valid disk extensions (not just RADI1 backup). I can get 8 disks off the motherboard.
I require this card to support 8 x SATA 1.5TB disks in JBOD.
My problem is when I boot the computer the card BIOS is processed, I can change the card settings, but I don't see any physical disks.
When WHS starts the card shows 8 amber lights but WHS still does not see any of the disks which is not unexpected.
I am using 2 SFF-8087 'straight' cables with 2 x 4 SATA II connectors. This is my second set of cables.
Two questions:
1. do I need special Supermicro IPASS cables (CBL-SFF8087OCF-05M) or will any SFF-8087 breakout cable suffice.
2. I could alternatively purchase the older generation Promise SuperTrak EX8350 PCI-E 8 SATA RAID Controller but I beleive there will be a marked drop in performance.

Those cables will work.I just bought a new mb with 3 PCIe 16x slots and want to rebuild by norco 4020
are 1M cables going to be long enough?
and are these the right cables to work with a Norco 4020 sata backplane?

thanks guys
IS it for certain this card will not work with Windows XP? Not listed on the spec page but not sure if this is due to the old age of Windows XP.
