Dear community,

i successful set up mavericks on my machine running on a ASRock extreme 11 X79 but got trouble with all my hdds. As Linux is my main system i need to have full access to all hard drives in my tower hdd bay. But like i say there are still some drives missing.

Im running on a ASRock extreme 11 which has SATA controller:

Code:
[COLOR=#444444][FONT=Arial]- 2 x SATA3 6.0 Gb/s connectors by Intel[/FONT][/COLOR][SUP]®[/SUP][COLOR=#444444][FONT=Arial] X79, support RAID (RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, RAID 10 and Intel[/FONT][/COLOR][SUP]®[/SUP][COLOR=#444444][FONT=Arial] Rapid Storage 3.0), NCQ, AHCI and Hot Plug functions[/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#444444][FONT=Arial]- 8 x SAS2/SATA3 6.0 Gb/s connectors by LSI SAS2308 PCIe 3.0 controller, support RAID (RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 1E and RAID 10), NCQ and Hot Plug functions[/FONT][/COLOR]/CODE]

My bash gives me the following output:

But two disks are still missing here.
There should be one disk called:

Code:
[FONT=Menlo]/dev/disk[COLOR=#ff0000]X[/COLOR][/FONT]
[FONT=Menlo]   #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER[/FONT]
[FONT=Menlo]   0:     FDisk_partition_scheme                        *2.0 TB     disk[COLOR=#ff0000][B]X[/B][/COLOR][/FONT]
[FONT=Menlo]   1:                      Linux [COLOR=#ff0000][B]Speicher 2[/B][/COLOR]             2.0 TB     disk[COLOR=#ff0000][B]X[/B][/COLOR]s[B][COLOR=#ff0000]Y[/COLOR][/B][/FONT]

and another disk should be called:

Code:
[FONT=Menlo]/dev/disk[COLOR=#ff0000]X[/COLOR][/FONT][FONT=Menlo]   #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER[/FONT]
[FONT=Menlo]   0:     FDisk_partition_scheme                        *2.0 TB     disk[COLOR=#ff0000][B]4[/B][/COLOR][/FONT]
[FONT=Menlo]   1:                      Linux [B][COLOR=#ff0000]Wiretap Storage[/COLOR][/B]             2.0 TB     disk[COLOR=#ff0000][B]4[/B][/COLOR]s[B][COLOR=#ff0000]1[/COLOR][/B][/FONT]

Is there a specific reason why these two disks aren't recognised? Is it because of the two different SATA controller?
Is there a way how i can fix this?

Any help would be very welcome :thumbup:
 
Just to show that the disks should be available, here comes the output from my main linux system:

Code:

Bump - any ideas?

Could it be that they are not recognized correctly because the ASRock uses the lsisas2008 PCIe chip? Is there any driver solution i could try for the lsisas2008?

AHCI is on in BIOS ofc, otherwise the other drives would not get recognized.
