zfs discuss - Jan 2010 - Supermicro AOC-SAT2-MV8 -- cfgadm won''t create attach point (dsk/xxxx)

I have a Supermicro AOC-SAT2-MV8 running on snv_130.  I have a 6 disk raidz2
pool that has been running great.

Today I added a Western Digital Green 1.5TB WD15EADS so I could create some
scratch space.

But, cfgadm will not assign the drive a dsk/xxx ...

I have tried unconfigure/configure and disconnect/connect/configure with cfgadm
without luck.

Any tips?

Well it appears that the pci-x version of the card might or might not work with
drives bigger than 1TB....

Attached WD15EADS to ICH9R on motherboard works fine.

Check if your card has the latest firmware.

Hi,

Were you ever able to solve this problem on your AOC-SAT2-MV8 card? I am in need
of purchasing it to add more drives to my server.

Thanks
