This problem is distro independent, and seems to be a kernel issue. I have two MediaSonic esata enclosures, each with four drives. They are connected via a two port Esata PCIE card, listed as: 01:00.0 SATA controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88SE9128 PCIe SATA 6 Gb/s RAID controller (rev 20) The problem is that only one box shows up in Linux at a time. I changed cables. I swapped PCIE slots. I tried turning one box on before boot, and turning the other one after login. Still, only one showed up at a time in fdisk -l I googled around, and I found a lot of old forum threads talking about how transfer speeds were slow with the card. Or how the esata interface didn't show up at all. Nothing about this particular issue. What else can I try? The boxes also have USB interfaces but the computer to which they are connected has USB2.0, which isn't fun for what I want to do with these drive arrays. The kernel in use during this experiment is 4.15. -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
