11 A pruned lspci -nnk:
12
13 00:07.1 IDE interface [0101]: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] AMD-8111 IDE [1022:7469] (rev 03)
14 Subsystem: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] AMD-8111 IDE [1022:7469]
15 Kernel driver in use: pata_amd
16 01:03.0 SCSI storage controller [0100]: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. MV88SX6081 8-port SATA II PCI-X Controller [11ab:6081] (rev 09)
17 Subsystem: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. Device [11ab:11ab]
18 Kernel driver in use: sata_mv
19 02:06.0 SCSI storage controller [0100]: Adaptec AIC-7902B U320 [9005:801d] (rev 10)
20 Subsystem: Adaptec Device [9005:005e]

23 Subsystem: Adaptec Device [9005:005e]
24 Kernel driver in use: aic79xx
25 03:05.0 Mass storage controller [0180]: Silicon Image, Inc. SiI 3114 [SATALink/SATARaid] Serial ATA Controller [1095:3114] (rev 02)
26 Subsystem: Silicon Image, Inc. SiI 3114 SATALink Controller [1095:3114]
27 Kernel driver in use: sata_sil
28
29 pata_amd /dev/sdg 320G for boot which seems happy
30
31 sata_mv /dev/sd[ab] 2 x 300G LVM mounted automatically from fstab
32 /dev/sd[cd] 2 4T ditto
33
34 sata_sil /dev/sde 512G SSD with / and swap
35 /dev/sdf 512G SSD wirh LVM for /home, /encfs, and mail spool
36
37 aic79xx no drives
38
39 The sata_mv drives are not necessary for boot, but they do take up
40 /dev/sd? namespace. Might be interesting to try Bruce Hill's idea of
41 a pruned 3.7.1 kernel without that driver.
