For anyone else that goes down the rabbit hole, I looked at the code of ARPL and TCRP and all satamap code is looking for only SATA controllers not SCSI controllers so not sure how SCSI ever worked (perhaps it never did?). I ended up dumping proxmox for ESXI. IOP's performance is better but no where near native. Native nvme drive passthrough: VMWare SATA Disk on identical nvme disk: I was getting some inconsistent results which did not make a lot of sense as there was no IO on the nvme disk in ESXI. Possible there was trimming or internal SSD load balancing running at the time. TLDR; Spent too many hours trying to get the right performance out of these devices. I have to go buy a real Syn NAS.

I have been working for days on trying to get virtio SCSI disks detected in tcrp/arpl as sata nvme speeds are so slow. The nvme disks are detected at os level in dmesg and lspci but in arpl menu they don't appear (only SATA disks are green). In redpill satamap the controller is detected but has error and cannot map them. I could have sworn I previously had it working fine but after trying different tcrp and arpl versions, q35 to i440, proxmox SCSI controllers, nothing I have done seems to work. I may just have to use SATA but before I do: Can someone please confirm virtio-scsi is supposed to work? (Can't get it working with passthrough disks or from proxmox disk images)
