To put it in lame terms: All SD, microSD, USB or CF cards are recognized as REMOVABLE devices by BIOS. XPEnology will not install on removable device, it is looking for the permanently attached device marker.

Really dying for a full support of LSI RAID cards 9211 in particular, with the ability to install and boot XPEnology form attached drives.

Tried upgrading to rp1.2. Still will not install on drives attached to LSI 9211-8i, only installs\boots from MB SATA port.

UPDATE: speed leveled at ~20-25Meg, but iSCSI, storage manager and most of the applications are still unusable. Storage Manager window times out with "Check Network Connection" error, so as Package center app. Shares can still be accessed with great delay.

^Above, for the most part SOLVED: http://www.ducea.com/2006/06/25/increase-the-speed-of-linux-software-raid-reconstruction/ http://forum.synology.com/enu/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=41469 Edit the speed of Linux software RAID reconstruction "speed_limit_min" to ~50Mbytes: echo 50000 >/proc/sys/dev/raid/speed_limit_min System is still laggy and unresponsive. Speed jumps from 5 to 130Mbytes, but overall expand performance had increased.

Thread for repack v1.1 had sunk, so posting here. Using LSI 9211-8i IT and 3 2TB drives, 8GB RAM and 4.2 rp1.1 etc... Had added 4th 2TB drive and expanded the volume. Not only unit is extremely slow, took 3 minutes to log in and another 5 to update Drive Info, iSCISI is utterly slow. Even worse, as seen on screen below in and hour expansion process completed 0.20%. Wonder, had anyone else experienced same issue?

This is definitely due to internalportcfg esataportcfg values. You need to modify /etc.defaults/synoinfo.cfg and reboot See this post viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1028&start=80#p5413 That did it, thanks Kanedo. All 3 disks are getting recognized. Other issue popped up: after each reboot, system partition "goes bad". After a click and about 2 seconds its back to normal.

LSI controller is still not being supported, I wonder? I have IBM1015 flashed with LSI 9211-8i IT and none of the releases, including 4.3 would not pick up the drives. 4.3 at least will tell that there no drives connected, 4.2 v1.1 will attempt to install but after restart it'll "loose config". Update: Successfully installed 4.2 on the hdd connected to one of the local SATA ports, now 2 out of 3 HDDs connected to LSI controller are recognized. For the third, have to unplug and plug SATA cable back in, but it detects HDD as eSATA. LSI bios detects all 3 HDDs on every boot.
