UnRaid question

[ashman]

I have just setup an UnRaid server using an older system that has an Asus P5Q premium motherboard, a Core 2 Duo CPU, 8GB of RAM, an Areca raid controller (configured for JBOD) and some other drives. I am using the onboard SATA ports and for some reason a drive connected to port 7 or 8 is not showing up in UnRaid, I see it during POST, but its displayed on its own for some reason, not sure why, wondering if anyone can shed some light.

Thanks

What about ports 9 and 10?

It looks like for that board the first 6 ports are Intel and the last 4 are Silicon Image Sil5723. Could be a complication with Unraid not having support for the controller.

Some digging brings this up: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=2515.15

Different boards but the same controller. Apparently, they get it working but only if they use the Sil5723's RAID feature where two drives in two ports 7/8? show up as a drive depending on how you setup "Drive Expert"

Ok thanks I'll look into it.
