yeah exactly what happens to everyone trying passthrough me included, it *should* work since the flag support sas can be enabled but dsm refuses to use them. shouldn't be a dsm problem, for sure something redpill related. btw in esxi how do you use the loader? mounted in sata0 controller? i tried multiple times but using the sata mode in grub loads everything but no /dev/synoboot* is created :S wierd.

it's a common LSI 9211-8i (actually a Dell Perc H200 crossflashed to LSI and in IT mode), enabling the supportsas flag loads mpt2sas at boot correctly and drivers attached show up but not in the guy, so DSM wont use them as data disk (shows no disks attached). i'm not the only one facing this problem, as i wrote with jun's loader the drivers show up as /dev/sdX but with redpill they show up as /dev/sasN, DSM should work with them natively without anyway?

i dont think it's a kernel issue related to the jump to 7.0, i think it's something related to the loader that does not do some kind of conversion like jun's did.. i tried to compile and boot redpill 6.2.4 (i'm now with jun's 6.2.3) and the /dev/sas* problem is there. won't work i'm afraid, sas devices have a different names for driver numbers, sata use /dev/sdA /dev/sdB /dev/sdX and so on while sas use /dev/sas1 /dev/sas2, even if the prefix is changed kernel side i don't think it would work.

yeah pretty much same setup, 7 disk on the HBA detected as sas, i can confirm this.

with the copy string does not compile because no mpt2sas.ko is in redpill custom folder, but it's unnecessary since the supportsas yes brings the HBA card up even on first boot, that's good. fdisk -l shows the disks but the gui still refuses to use them, meh.

is it possible somehow to load mpt2sas during the first boot install? the module is there and with insmod it loads the LSI controller DiskStation> cd /usr/lib/modules/ DiskStation> insmod mpt2sas.ko [ 30.427812] mpt2sas version 20.00.00.00 loaded [ 30.429216] scsi0 : Fusion MPT SAS Host [ 30.431514] I/O scheduler elevator not found [ 30.434368] mpt2sas0: 64 BIT PCI BUS DMA ADDRESSING SUPPORTED, total mem (4022016 kB) [ 30.509820] mpt2sas0: MSI-X vectors supported: 1, no of cores: 4, max_msix_vectors: -1 [ 30.512751] mpt2sas 0000:13:00.0: irq 73 for MSI/MSI-X [ 30

great, have my like!

Perfect, which bootload are you using? 3615 or 3617?

ok don't know why, i tried 2 vm, my production vm, 2 baremetal and they all worked fine, all based on ds3615xs. maybe it's that, nevermind then! i used docker in the past, i just prefer a standalone spk
