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. |
12 |
|

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 |
18 |
the server offline for a longer period to check that. But I think one |
19 |
could expect those hotswap-bays wired ready to use. |

21 |
My thought is, maybe the ahci-module is/was somehow limited with this |
22 |
kernel? Maybe I should use another module? |

This server is remote, so I have to be careful right now. |

Thanks for any hints, Stefan |
