Hello IceWhale team,
I’m running ZimaOS v1.6.1 on a ZimaCube and trying to use an Areca ARC-1882 RAID controller connected through an Areca ARC-8050T2 Thunderbolt enclosure.
The device is detected by the system, but the storage volumes are not appearing because the kernel was built without the Areca driver enabled.
Hardware detected:
- Areca ARC8050-T2 Thunderbolt enclosure
- Areca ARC-188x series PCIe RAID controller
Relevant output:
lspci
09:00.0 RAID bus controller: Areca Technology Corp. ARC-188x series PCIe 2.0/3.0 to SAS/SATA 6/12Gb RAID Controller (rev 05)
dmesg | grep -i areca
[ 5.683419] thunderbolt 0-1: Areca ARC8050-T2
Kernel config shows the driver is disabled:
zcat /proc/config.gz | grep ARCMSR
CONFIG_SCSI_ARCMSR is not set
Kernel version:
uname -r
6.12.25
Could you please enable:
CONFIG_SCSI_ARCMSR=m
in future ZimaOS kernel builds, or provide a compatible arcmsr.ko module for kernel 6.12.25?
This would allow support for Areca RAID controllers and Thunderbolt RAID enclosures on ZimaOS.
Thank you.
