Currently, I run 6.2-23739 Jun 1.03b DS3617xs smoothly on Asrock J3455.
Four hard disks form a SHR on sockets Intel1 Intel2 ASM1 ASM2.
If I plug an extra Marvell HBA (the driver is compatible) on the motherboard and add the fifth empty hard disk.
I doubt whether the the socket sequence will be intervened and it re-sorts on certain criteria. Let's say controller vendor ID/Name alphabetically?
Hence, the RAID collapses.
Or the DSM / loader is so smart that it could mark IDs on each drive and keep the sequence correctly?
Does anyone have experience on it?
