merve04 Posted October 18, 2020 Share #1 Posted October 18, 2020 (edited) I’ve searched around looking for an answer I’m not 100% sure if I fully understand but here we go. My mobo being a gigabyte b365 has 6 onboard sata. I’ve ordered 2x JMB585 cards, each have 5 sata ports. Would the proper value be =655 ? thanks Edited October 18, 2020 by merve04 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyride Posted October 18, 2020 Share #2 Posted October 18, 2020 config SYNO_SATA_PORT_MAP bool "Modify SATA Hosts Port Number" depends on SYNO_FIXED_DISK_NAME default y help <DSM> #18789 Reads Sata-Port-Mapping information and forces the sata hosts to initialize specified number of ports. This makes the disk name not skip some characters. Notice - Do NOT set the port number out of the range that [0-9]. It supports as most 9 ports now. For example, SataPortMap=4233 means the 1st host use 4 ports, the 2nd host use 2 ports, the 3rd and 4th host use 3 ports. config SYNO_DISK_INDEX_MAP bool "Modify Disk Name Sequence" depends on SYNO_FIXED_DISK_NAME default y help <DSM> #19604 Add boot argument DiskIdxMap to modify disk name sequence. Each two characters define the start disk index of the sata host. This argument is a hex string and is related with SataPortMap. For example, DiskIdxMap=030600 means the disk name of the first host start from sdd, the second host start from sdq, and the third host start sda. config SYNO_SATA_REMAP bool "Re-map Disk Name Sequence" depends on SYNO_FIXED_DISK_NAME default y help <DSM> #47418 Add boot argument sata_remap to remap data port sequence. For example, sata_remap=0>4:4>0 means swap the first disk name and the 5th. The following is the remap result. ata1 - sde ata2 - sdb ata3 - sdc ata4 - sdd ata5 - sda config SYNO_SATA_DISK_SEQ_REVERSE bool "Reverse Disk Port Sequence" depends on SYNO_FIXED_DISK_NAME default y help <DSM> #23278 Add boot argument DiskSeqReverse to reverse the ports of each SATA chip. For example, for a 4 SATA chips model, 4 ports of each SATA chip. We want to reverse all 4 ports of 1st chip, no modification of 2nd chip, reverse 2 former ports of 3rd chip, and reverse 3 former ports of 4th chip. The boot argument should be DiskSeqReverse=4023. And the sequence of disk is: 1st chip - [sdd, sdc, sdb, sda] 2nd chip - [sde, sdf, sdg, sdh] 3rd chip - [sdj, sdi, sdk, sdl] 4th chip - [sdo, sdn, sdm, sdp] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merve04 Posted October 18, 2020 Author Share #3 Posted October 18, 2020 Yes I’ve read that exact post somewheres else, I think on a different website tbh, im not nerdy enough to know the meanings behind this all. Based on what I read since it mentions that each number position represents a controller and the number itself the number of ports, my thought process would be 655 first controller being mobo has 6 ports and each of the jmb585 have 5 ports. Is this a correct assumption? Is that all I required to change? Heck do I even need to change anything, I’ve never played around with any of those numbers and all my drives populate correctly in dsm now.

merve04 Posted October 29, 2020 Author Share #4 Posted October 29, 2020 (edited) Well i just got my jmb585 cards, plugged them in and all hdd numbers show up correctly, but for some odd reason one of my 4TB drives needs re silvering, but hey look at those numbers go...

merve04 Posted November 4, 2020 Author Share #6 Posted November 4, 2020 My bad, and my apologies to flyride if i came across insulting. I probably should of just said something along the lines that I lack linux knowledge or something of that sort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyride Posted November 4, 2020 Share #7 Posted November 4, 2020 No worries. You'll acquire the linux knowledge soon enough trying all the stuff you are.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
