Pci-e to sata problem(Solved)

System x86_64 Intel Ga-945GCM/S2C Pentium 4 2.8GHZ.

System has four sata ports, two master/slave pairs.

Added a pci-e card (JMicron JMB360) having a single esata port.  Connected the esata port to an adapter(sataII to Compact Flash).

Dmesg reports the CF 8GB card is present.

I do not find this sata drive listed in gparted.  Two other CF cards attached to sata adapters are recognized as sd devices.

Dmesg.....

bash-3.2# dmesg | grep CF

Not aware of any bios requirements for this mobo to utilize pci-e.

Desire to use this pci-e connected device in a raid array.

Re: Pci-e to sata problem(Solved)

Suddenly, after removing two of the three sata CF cards and running with only the new pci-e connected card and adapter, and booting to find only one Identified...the pci-e connected card.

Then rebooted and inserted the remaining two cards...this resulted in ID's for all three CF cards and access to the included raid array.

Hdparm reports read speed of 137MB/sec on the array.

Have no idea why it didn't connect initially.

I won't close this post until I have repeatable performance.

Re: Pci-e to sata problem(Solved)

Seems that the problem is corrected........

I assume the sata connectors(internal) were not making contact on one of the adapters.  They are rather flimsy...............
