Hi, Thank you very much for the excellent loader. I am using DX3622xs Up till v04.alpha12, LSI HBA card (LSI 9208, 2308) worked well, and can use SAS HDDs. But after update to v05.alpha1, SAS HDDs cannot be detected anymore. SATA HDDs are fine. Tried to select all modules mentioned SAS, but still the same. I am using ESXi, did a fresh install of DX3622xs, same problem, cannot detect SAS HDDs. Please help.

yes, pre-allocated. Lazy zeroed and eager zeroed makes no difference. DISK Group / Volume keep crashing

Yes, tried both lazy zeroed and eager zeroed, same result

Yes, physical disks are fine. XPenology use vmdk files as HDD.

Disk group / volume just crashed...

thanks for the info. Fingers crossed After installing the open vm tools (open-vm-tools_bromolow-5.1_9.10.0-2476743-1.spk), the disk group /volume crash seems to dissappear. I am doing copy from Filestation, copying files to shared folder under Windows and unzipping files to shared folders, and no errors so far.

By looking at the dmseg, I saw a lot of dm-1: WRITE SAME failed. Manually zeroing.

Hi, I have the following config: HP Microserver Gen8 16GB Ecc Ram HP P410 with battery and 512MB BBWC 4x WD 6TB RED Created a Raid-5 group within the HP P410, installed ESXi 6.0u1 (downloaded from HP), created a 16TB datastore using vSphere client 6. Tried fresh install of DSM 5.2 5592 with XPEnoboot_DS3615xs_5.2-5592.2, DSM 5.2 5644 with XPEnoboot_DS3615xs_5.2-5644.4 In both case, I created 4x2TB in the VM. DSM installed fine, did the upgrade, then create a Raid0/JBOD Disk Group / Volume without problem. Mounted share folders under windows and copied all my backups to those folders. But after using a day or two, the disk group /volume will crash - sometimes when copying files, sometime when unzipping files. Tried recreating the VM all over from scratch, and the crashing continues. Any idea? Thanks in advance!!!

Which version of DSM and gnoboot/nanoboot are you using? Isn't the Block Level iSCSI broken is DSM? Tried this with gnoboot/nanoboot on all version of DSM 5 available but no success (under ESXi 5.5) . I can only get the File Level iSCSI working so far.

I am using the HP Gen8 microserver. Interested to know how to get the USB 3.0 ports working. Currently, I am running HP customised ESXi 5.5 and DSM 5.0.4458 with genoboot 10.5 alpha. I can only get the USB 2.0 ports working under DSM. Tried adding xHCI USB driver under ESXi but not working. Do I need to "load" specific driver? If so, how to do that? Many thanks!!!
