Got an x4 card wit 4 sata ports:
StarTech 4 Port PCI Express x4 SATA II Card Model PEXSATA24E
SATA Connectivity: Use four internal ports at the same time or two internal
and two external ports
Which is fully supported in the latest kernels (didn't try an old kernel):
linux-2.6.25.10/drivers/ata/sata_mv.c
/* Marvell 7042 support */
{ PCI_VDEVICE(MARVELL, 0x7042), chip_7042 },
How have that card and the array attached to it been doing since you
originally posted this?
I read remeber 'locked' 64kb read problem but not any corruption issue.
Doesn't that HighPoint 23xx card also use the Marvell 88SX7042 chip?
I remember seeing the threads about the HighPoint card silentlyAlso I MD5SUM -c (verify) 100-150GiB of data daily or so to make sure it is OK, so far, no problems.
corrupting data by silently writing over parts of the disk(s) with
its own info. I'm guessing that's not a "feature" of the MarvellHave not seen it yet.
chip, but still... admittedly irrational fear here :)
Yes, I asked Supermicro about it and they never mailed me back about a PCIe version..
It would be nice if that Supermicro 8-port SATA card (AOC-SAT2-MV8)
was available in PCIe... I wonder if it's possible to just graft
multiple SiI 3132 controllers (2 SATA each) on a single PCIe card?
That's a good question, I suppose if it was easy it would have already been done?
Justin.
