OK whilst i was ordering a few bits and pieces i spotted one of these:

http://www.xfxforce.com/web/product/listConfigurations.jspa?seriesId=66&productId=834

to cut a long story short i thought i would risk it and see if it would work as either a very cheap RAID 3 card or a cheap SATA controller card.

Popped it in my NASLite 2.02 USB test box and up came the SyncRAID BIOS.

Nice i thought.

Configured 2 500GB drives a two seperate RAID 0 arrays...

Nice i thought to myself again.

Booted NASLites....

... nothing.

Here is my syslog (cut down), can anyone say definatively from this that its just not supported.

Kudos.

this would be in the RAID BIOS?

Will take a look again but nothing popped out along those lines (it very simple menu).

Cheers :)

the drives dont show up in the NASLite console, telnet or web GUI so theres no way to set them to anything.

;P

I wish i'd seen this before purchasing the XFX card.

Has anyone managed to get this working ?
It does mention in the manual about linux needing a patched driver ?

Pete.

i gave up trying bit not given up hope.

This would be an exceleltn card to suport as it is proper RAID 3, cheaper than SATA controller cards for the same port count, big manufacturer, available world wide..


and cheap cheap cheap

Hi,

Did anyone ever try to get this card to work with NASLITE? I just bought NASTLITE yesterday and was very excited to get started but same problem as the person who started this thread...... it simply doesn't find the drive(s).

Cheers,
Marcel

ps. FreeNas does find the drive..... :-(

I fell prey to these also.
It appears that we may get support for the NetCell based cards once SE goes to a later 2.6.x kernel.

That still may be while off though.
