Running v2.62 02-2010 of NASLite.

I have 4 500GB IDE hard drives in the PC. Sometimes when I boot the PC NASLite only finds 3 of them. I have to do a reboot and then it finds all of them again. What is going on here?.

Thanks for any information on this.

More info please. Are they Master/Slave, 2 each on 2 channels ? Or on a PCI card ? How old are they ? What make are they ? In the SysLog ... any error messages when only 3 are found ? (Same question if 4 are found.) Motherboard/CPU ?

Does NASLite only find 3 drives on a cold boot, but finds the 4th after a warm reset? If so, it could be a PSU issue - not enough power to get all of the drives to spin up quickly enough.

or a drive that is slow to spin up - add the full mem test in bios to allow more time for the drive to spin up - solved many a problem like this
