Does anyone know this? I run 2.6.27-gentoo-r8 on a server, amd64 ..
It has 8 hotswap-bays for hdds and lspci says it uses a ---> Intel Corporation 631xESB/632xESB SATA AHCI Controller So far I used the ahci-kernel-module, it worked. Until now we used only 4 hdds in that box, today I added 4 more. But I only see six drives ... /dev/sd[a-f] ... no /dev/sd[gh] hmmm I don't know if all the bays are wired correctly, I would have to take the server offline for a longer period to check that. But I think one could expect those hotswap-bays wired ready to use. My thought is, maybe the ahci-module is/was somehow limited with this kernel? Maybe I should use another module? This server is remote, so I have to be careful right now. Thanks for any hints, Stefan
