A pruned lspci -nnk:
00:07.1 IDE interface [0101]: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] AMD-8111 IDE
[1022:7469] (rev 03)
Subsystem: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] AMD-8111 IDE [1022:7469]
Kernel driver in use: pata_amd
01:03.0 SCSI storage controller [0100]: Marvell Technology Group Ltd.
MV88SX6081 8-port SATA II PCI-X Controller [11ab:6081] (rev 09)
Subsystem: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. Device [11ab:11ab]
Kernel driver in use: sata_mv
02:06.0 SCSI storage controller [0100]: Adaptec AIC-7902B U320 [9005:801d]
(rev 10)
Subsystem: Adaptec Device [9005:005e]
Kernel driver in use: aic79xx
02:06.1 SCSI storage controller [0100]: Adaptec AIC-7902B U320 [9005:801d]
(rev 10)
Subsystem: Adaptec Device [9005:005e]
Kernel driver in use: aic79xx
03:05.0 Mass storage controller [0180]: Silicon Image, Inc. SiI 3114
[SATALink/SATARaid] Serial ATA Controller [1095:3114] (rev 02)
Subsystem: Silicon Image, Inc. SiI 3114 SATALink Controller [1095:3114]
Kernel driver in use: sata_sil
pata_amd /dev/sdg 320G for boot which seems happy
sata_mv /dev/sd[ab] 2 x 300G LVM mounted automatically from fstab
/dev/sd[cd] 2 4T ditto
sata_sil /dev/sde 512G SSD with / and swap
/dev/sdf 512G SSD wirh LVM for /home, /encfs, and mail spool
aic79xx no drives
The sata_mv drives are not necessary for boot, but they do take up
/dev/sd? namespace. Might be interesting to try Bruce Hill's idea of
a pruned 3.7.1 kernel without that driver.
