Hello,
A few months ago I posted about my EPYC build using the ROMED8-2T. At the time, I hadn't yet obtained the hard drives for the server, but now I have and I'm running in to two issues.
The motherboard box includes a miniSASHD to 4x SATA cable and an OCuLink to 4x SATA cable. I've attached 4 of my hard drives via the miniSASHD cable and I can see them under storage in the system setup menu. However, they do not appear in my operating system (Debian 10, all up to date). Is there a driver needed for these to be recognized under Linux? I noticed there was a comment on the STH review of the motherboard asking a similar question--apparently Windows would see the drives, but not Debian.
Second, the two drives attached by the OCuLink port do not appear in system setup or to Debian. I don't see many references online to using OCuLink for SATA, so maybe this isn't supported. I'd be very confused that the motherboard had an OCuLink to SATA cable in the box if this were the case, though.
I've confirmed that the jumpers on the motherboard are set properly to have the ports I'm using enabled, and I've also spent time re-seating and swapping around connectors, with no changes observed.
Does anyone have experience with this motherboard and connecting drives this way under Linux?
