Its sounds fine because with the Asus Board and at Nexenta always I get a message that my rpool is degraded when I set AHCI. That is very unusual. Please send the output of zpool status -xv Additionally with the LSI HBA the board doesnt boot by set AHCI. This sounds like a crappy BIOS or HBA firmware. Also, it could be some combination of BIOS settings that confuse the issue. -- richard am Donnerstag, 16.

Re: [zfs-discuss] AHCI or IDE?
AHCI or IDE is at the device level not zfs level, as such it's a property of the OS layer. I suspect all OSs that zfs run on support AHCI directly (OpenSolaris do). Always use it instead of IDE emulation (which is what is happening what you select IDE in the firmware, it is purely for old OS support with no direct SATA support) HTH, Deano -Original Message- From: zfs-discuss-boun...@opensolaris.org [mailto:zfs-discuss-boun...@opensolaris.org] On Behalf Of Alexander Lesle Sent: 16 December 2010 19:43 To: zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org Subject: [zfs-discuss] AHCI or IDE?
