As Richard pointed out this is a bug in the AOC-SAT2-MV8 firmware 1.0b. It incorrectly associates itself with other Marvell SATA controllers in the system, based on PCI IDs, causing all sort of strange issues: http://opensolaris.org/jive/message.jspa?messageID=254150#254150 I reverse engineered and patched 2 bytes in the firmware to fix the bug in my case. But I would recommend to simply exchange your cards with newer ones running a firmware labelled "3.x.x.x". I don't think Richard's suggestions will work (disabling AHCI or PnP) because even though it may disable onboard SATA controllers contributing to the PCI ID confusion, you have 2 x AOC-SAT2-MV8 so I suspect the 2 firmwares may not even correctly associate themselves to their own card (eg. it might attempt to initialize the same card during POST, leaving the other uninitialized.) -mrb _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
