Like most Marvell products in Linux/FreeBSD, it has spotty support.

There is a documented problem of your specific Marvell controller not being detected in Linux, you'll need to patch the kernel.

Have been trying with Xpenology together with Kristian(Thanks man!) - He has the same board but Xpenology sees and load mvsas driver for his controller but mine doesn't. Same problem i have in Debian/OMV
Does anyone els have this board and maybe tried the same?

During the last 3-4 days i have been trying Openmediavault, Ubuntu, Debian, Xpenology and with same result with lspci the controller is present but the driver doesn't detect/bind to it.

Have seen it, this is the last post in it - seems like it still doesn't work as it should?

"I have a related issue.

There is also a 88SE9485 controller on the
ASUS P9A-I/C2550/SAS/4L (Intel Avoton) Server Motherboard also.

lspci ->

01:00.0 RAID bus controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88SE9485 SAS/SATA 6Gb/s controller (rev c3)
02:00.0 RAID bus controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88SE9485 SAS/SATA 6Gb/s controller (rev c3)

In kernel 3.13.0-40-generic moduel mvsas is not loaded.
Also if mvsas is loded with modprobe -v mvsas no disks are identified by the system.
(Applying the patch above makes no difference.)

Is this a new bug report?"
