latest scanner and ports info


AMCross

Question

hi

 

this might be difficult to explain but here we go

 

under scanner settings you can have the port number listed

 

I have made sure that under my bios that I have the following

 

port 0 hddvd/blu ray write

port 1 system drive c/d

port 2 data drive 1

port 3 data drive 2

port 4 data drive 3

port 5 data drive 4

 

all connected to the onboard intel sata controller

 

they all show up correctly under scanner UNTIL

 

my board also has 4 ports using the marvell controller

 

so when I add another 3tb hard drive on port 0 of this controller scanner shows

 

port 1 system drive c/d

port 2 data drive 1 e

port 3 data drive 2 f

port 4 data drive 3 g

port 0 data drive 5 h

port 5 data drive 4 I

 

is this a BUG ?

I'm not sure this is a bug.  It looks like that you may have accidently click on the "Drive Letter" column and caused it to be sorted by drive letter. c/d, e, f, g, h, l.  Instead of by port number, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

 

If this is the case (and I suspect that it is), don't feel bad at all. It took me a few minutes and a couple read through's to actually notice that.

I also fell for the drive letter column when I first started using the product but this not the case here

 

when I added another drive as a system backup I now get

 

 

port 1 system drive c/d

port 2 data drive 1 e

port 3 data drive 2 f

port 4 data drive 3 g

port 0 data drive 5 h

port 5 data drive 4 I

port 8 system backup

 

think scanner or drivepool is getting confused with two onboard sata controllers

 

 

it should be

 

port 0 blu ray writer  (obviously not shown in scanner)

port 1 system drive c/d

port 2 data drive 1 e                 All ONBOARD INTEL

port 3 data drive 2 f

port 4 data drive 3 g

port 5 data drive 4 h

 

port 6 data drive 5 I              ALL ONBOARD MARVELL

port 7 system backup

 

 

lets see what alex finds when he rdp into my system as it maybe related

still not 100% but much better

 

will need to do some checking before I finally close this issue :-)

 

still think scanner only works showing correct port when using one controller

 

use two onboard controller and things get untidy

 

 

will confirm in 24 hrs
