I've run out of space so decided to expand storage. I'm using TrueNAS Core 13. Wasn't sure where to post this since I'm not sure what the problem is yet.
Original config:
Pool 1:
Pool 2:
New config:
Pool 1:
Detail:
When I look at the disks available to the system with camcontrol or in /dev, I don't see any drives on some expanders, only 1-2 drives on other expanders, and all but one drive on another expander. It's unclear to me why some get 'seen' by the OS but others don't
Any guidance?
Original config:
Pool 1:
- Onboard SATA -> 2 x SSD in mirror
Pool 2:
- Onboard LSI3008 -> 8 x HDD
- Add-on LSI 92xx-8e -> 2 x HP expanders -> 16 x HDD
New config:
Pool 1:
- Onboard LSI3008 -> 2 x SSD
- Add-on 9400-16e -> 5 x Adaptec 82885T -> 40 x HDD (four 1-to-2 SAS fanout cables, 8 drives per expander)

- The 9400-16e detects all 40 drives while booting. The OS only sees a seemingly random number of them.
- arcconf command doesn't show any controllers, I assume because I'm only using Adaptec expanders and not an Adaptec controller
- storcli shows the 9400-16e, but does not show any attached expanders/drives/anything
- mprutil shows the 9400-16e, along with every drive and adapter
- /dev/* shows all 5 expanders (ses0, ses1, ses2, etc) and both controllers (mpr0, mpr1), but most disk drives are missing
- sesutil shows all 5 expanders, but no disks attached
Any guidance?
