No drives visible when I try to create volume

[marcuskj]

Hi! I have n00bily been trying to create volumes in Freenas for a while. For some reason I am unable to get a list of the drives installed.



I have four identical drives installed (samsung spinpoint 750gb), and they all show up in post and in bios. The box has been used as a windows home server, so I thought perhaps it was due to some formatting. I deleted all partitions on them, but I still cannot see any drives in the volume creator.

Any tips on how to go about this? Where do I start troubleshooting?
Thanks for your time!

Please tell us about your hardware. It looks like maybe there's not a driver for your controller. Give us your hardware specs please.

[marcuskj]

Sorry, I forgot
Asus M3A-H/HDMI Mainboard (http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/AMD_AM2Plus/M3AHHDMI/)
AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Pro
2gb ddr2 ram
4x 750gb Samsung Spinpoint F1 HD753LJ

[marcuskj]

I found some old ram as well, so i upgraded it to 4gb ram instead

Clearly time-out problems with the SATA Controller... Welcome to the club.

[marcuskj]

Oh noes, that doesn't sound good Is this a purely hardware related problem, or is there a possibility of a solution in the future, do you think? ... or is it something I can fix myself?

... though I am at least part of a club

[Durkatlon]

A fix would have to come from FreeBSD upstream, so not very likely until FreeNAS8 switches to a newer version of the base OS. I "solved" this problem for myself by switching to a different motherboard. Now, I use this same motherboard which has problems in FreeNAS8, without any issues in FreeNAS0.7. If it is an option for you, I would suggest you try installing FreeNAS0.7 to see if it works for you.

[SnorreSelmer]

FreeNAS 8 = FreeBSD 8.2 = the latest stable release. I haven't looked at the FreeNAS 8.0.1 release, but it seems like it's FreeBSD 8.3. Someone else here can probably confirm or deny this.

Sure wish we hade a (code) (/code) function on the forum. That way the dmesg output wouldn't need two posts and become such a wall-of-text.
