Anything special I need to do for this? The HBA shows up in lspci:
Code:
01:00.0 Serial Attached SCSI controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic SAS2008 PCI-Express Fusion-MPT SAS-2 [Falcon] (rev 03)
        Subsystem: Dell 6Gbps SAS HBA Adapter

        Memory at fb3c0000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=256K]
        Expansion ROM at fb400000 [disabled] [size=1M]

        Capabilities: [138] Power Budgeting <?>
        Kernel driver in use: mpt3sas
        Kernel modules: mpt3sas

At present I have one drive connected and it does not show up - I think it should be /dev/sdc since a-c are drives on the motherboard SATA connectors.

lspci shows a driver so I'm not sure what else is needed.

Thanks!

Edit: It seems that the problem is the drives. They are 200GB Seagate Barracudas:
Code:
=== START OF INFORMATION SECTION ===

All other drives I have tried (all more modern) have worked with this HBA. I'm speculating that the barracudas take to long to reply when the HBA queries them. This drive works fine connected to a motherboard SATA port.
