Klondike Kat Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Dear community,i successful set up mavericks on my machine running on a ASRock extreme 11 X79 but got trouble with all my hdds. As Linux is my main system i need to have full access to all hard drives in my tower hdd bay. But like i say there are still some drives missing. All other drives are ext4 formatted.Im running on a ASRock extreme 11 which has SATA controller: - 2 x SATA3 6.0 Gb/s connectors by Intel® X79, support RAID (RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, RAID 10 and Intel® Rapid Storage 3.0), NCQ, AHCI and Hot Plug functions - 8 x SAS2/SATA3 6.0 Gb/s connectors by LSI SAS2308 PCIe 3.0 controller, support RAID (RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 1E and RAID 10), NCQ and Hot Plug functions The missing drives are connected to the SAS ports, so my guess is that the controller is not working?? Or do i have to set the LSI to IDE mode? Also i can change drives and switch the ports (for example rotate one detected with one not detected drive) but the result is the same that all drives connected to the SAS ports are not recognized. My bash on Mavericks gives me the following output: diskutil list /dev/disk0 #: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER 0: FDisk_partition_scheme *600.1 GB disk0 1: Linux Unity-ruht 600.1 GB disk0s1 /dev/disk1 #: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER 0: GUID_partition_scheme *2.0 TB disk1 1: EFI EFI 209.7 MB disk1s1 2: Apple_HFS Mac OSX 2.0 TB disk1s2 /dev/disk2 #: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER 0: FDisk_partition_scheme *2.0 TB disk2 1: Linux CentOS-ruht 524.3 GB disk2s1 2: Linux CentOS-home 1.5 TB disk2s2 /dev/disk3 #: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER 0: FDisk_partition_scheme *2.0 TB disk3 1: Linux Unity-home 2.0 TB disk3s1 /dev/disk4 #: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER 0: FDisk_partition_scheme *2.0 TB disk4 1: Linux Speicher 1 2.0 TB disk4s1 But three disks are still missing here.There should be one disk called: /dev/diskX #: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER 0: FDisk_partition_scheme *2.0 TB diskX 1: Linux Speicher 2 2.0 TB diskXsY and two other disk should be called: /dev/diskX #: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER 0: FDisk_partition_scheme *2.0 TB diskX 1: Linux Wiretap Storage 1 2.0 TB diskXsY /dev/diskX #: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER 0: FDisk_partition_scheme *2.0 TB diskX 1: Linux Wiretap Storage 1 2.0 TB diskXsY Is there a specific reason why these two disks aren't recognised, or am i right with my noob guess about the LSI SAS Controller?Is there a way how i can fix this? Just to show that the disks should be available, here comes the output from my main linux system: sudo lsblk -o NAME,FSTYPE,SIZE,MOUNTPOINT,LABEL NAME FSTYPE SIZE MOUNTPOINT LABEL sda 558,9G └─sda1 ext4 558,9G / Unity-ruht sdb 1,8T ├─sdb1 ext4 488,3G CentOS-ruht └─sdb2 ext4 1,4T CentOS-home sdc 1,8T └─sdc1 ext4 1,8T /home Unity-home sdd 1,8T └─sdd1 ext4 1,8T Speicher 1 sde 1,8T └─sde1 ext4 1,8T Speicher 2 sdf 1,8T └─sdf1 ext4 1,8T Autodesk Wiretap 1 sdf 1,8T └─sdg1 ext4 1,8T Autodesk Wiretap 2 sdl 1,8T ├─sdl1 vfat 200M EFI └─sdl2 hfsplus 1,8T Mac OSX I also asked this on http://rampagedev.wordpress.com/dsdt-downloads/asrock-x79/ because im using the ASRock x79 DMG.

OstlerDev Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Hello there! I would have posted sooner but the forums wanted me to pass some quizes first... I am having the same issue on my Hackintosh and I believe that I have found the solution in this thread here: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/288875-missing-sata/ I will be trying it soon and will try to let you know if it is working for me.

joechiazza Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Osx is not compatible with onboard/motherboard raid. There is no solution as far as I know. You have to use a highpoint raid card Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
