I’m not a lawyer, but if I wasn’t planning to do anything related to the other ‘dedsec’, I wouldn’t even consider what the owner of that dedsec would think.
Businesses have the same name ALL THE TIME.
Unless you’re trying to piggyback on or undermine that other dedsec, I, the non-lawyer, can’t imagine how they’d have any standing to raise a concern.
Whatever you’re doing must have led you to the dedsec name (I assume it’s a website for dog-eat-dog security), there’s just no way in my (non-lawyer) mind that EA or Ubisoft has any right to stop you from saving dogs from being eaten.
I (the non-lawyer) would 100% not pay a lawyer for their opinion on this.
On the 9300-16i, I have been seeing the connected drives under a ‘physical drives’ menu that appears if drives are connected… on the 9305 I did not…
Would you expect the drives to spin up on boot?
I’ll try booting into proxmox and running lshw on both cards tomorrow. Thanks for the route to test!
Ok. Did a bunch more testing here tonight.
I have 2x 8tb SAS drives that have worked for several weeks now. Those show up in bios reliably regardless of which connector I use. So I think the HBA is working and the cables are good.
Of the 10x 10tb drives, 1 drive shows up reliably. It also seems to work on any connector I use. But it is the only drive the works.
Here is 8 of the 10 installed and only one showing in BIOS. I think the other 7 are not even spinning up.
An additional weird thing is that at least 1 other of the 10 drives did show up the first time I plugged it in from inside the xpenology VM. I did 'hot swap' that one in, but it then passed a SMART test. But since it passing the test and me pulling it, it hasn't worked again. I'm also not positive which drive it is because originally I wasn't expecting things to behave so weirdly, so I didn't start taking notes...
As another test, I got a hold of a 9305-16i to see if the drives would read on that. And while that card would show up in BIOS, none of the drives -- including the 8th that have always worked -- showed up or spun up at all! I wonder if that card is not compatible with my mobo?
Is it possible other BIOS settings are interfering?

Ah. Will trying to hit swap damage the drives? Or just won’t work?
Drives are hot-swappable with this HBA, right?
Will give this a go! thanks!
One of the drives for reference:
Ok. Fair enough.
I'm still working on the first 2, but on the 3rd, yes there are a couple drives that are up and working on the card. 2x 8tb drives (also HGST).
They are SAS drives, not sata. Mobo does have SATA, but not SAS.
I do!
Thanks for the link!
Me again, back with another probably dumb question, but you beautiful bastards have been so helpful so far, I can't stay away!
I got 10x 10TB SAS drives from FB market place. They look like they're in good shape and the guy says he pulled them from the live server of a family member who passed. HGST. most/all are 2018.
I brought them home and tried to mount them one-by-one in an xpenology VM to smart test them (easiest place I had set up for SMART tests).
But most of my troubleshooting has just involved looking at the HBA menus in BIOS and seeing if the drives even show up. Currently only 1 seems to reliably.
and I got a weird mix of drive showing up fine, but others not showing up at all. I also got a couple drives that passed a SMART test, then when I pulled them and tried to remount them later, they don't even show up?
I tried using molex to SATA power adapters to rule out 3.3v, didn't help.
I don't think it's formatting because some of them mounted at least once and they all came from the same server.
I tried putting the HBA in another PCIe slot, plan to try the third slot tonight.
I have this HBA, confirmed in BIOS it's in IT mode: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BYZBNXBS/
(I'm having troubles finding a good manual for this board, by the way. there are flashing LEDs that may be trying to tell me something?)
and these breakout cables: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07B9SBSVW/
I might try another HBA, rule out bad board. I plan to try the third PCIe slot tonight, try to rule that out...
What else?
They could be just bad drives, but the seller seemed genuine and they look like they're in good shape. He even pinged me after the sale to see how they worked out for me.. doesn't seem like a scammer.
Also, a couple questions: 1) these should be hot-swappable, right? and 2) what would happen if this PCIe x8 card is in a PICE x4 slot?
Thanks again. You guys have been great! :)
Yah. Trying to make an Uber server.
Bunch of drives for a nas vm
3060 for a bit of a gaming pc cam for things like moonlight.
Rx590 is for a hackintosh vm to make local backups of my iCloud stuff.
And a unix vm to manage docker containers.
Also plan to put Plex in a LXC (I think that’s the term) on Proxmox so it can hardware decode using the igpu.
Welp. Seems I’m an idiot. I’m very much a Unix noob so assumed it was something that Unix I didn’t understand rather than check the physical card again.
I was definitely shipped an nvidia card, not the amd I bid on! So case opened with eBay!
Sorry for the dumb question. Thanks for the great help.
Stay tuned for my next dumb question. :)
Me again. The guy with the NIC problem from before.
I installed the Rx590 and it shows up in lspci as an RTX 2070. I was hoping it was just Proxmox not having drivers or something, but when I pass it into the Hackintosh it's meant for, it shows as NVIDIA there too:
Now I did get the Rx590 off eBay, but I'm it was listed as and looks like this: https://www.powercolor.com/product?id=1551768831
So I think it is actually a Rx590.
This is lspci. 01:00.0 is a RTX 3060. 03:00.0 is the Rx590.

How do you do this? Idk what to even google, exactly.
So in the end, the intel 1g NIC just worked, so I gave up for now on trying to get the 2.5g Broadcom working instead.
I might try to link aggregate later and use the 2.5g Broadcom and circle back on this.. but we’ll see.
I also got the second GPU installed and it shows up, too. But it’s an Rx590 and is showing as an RTX2070… so I’ll be making another post shortly!
Thanks for all the input!
I have no experience with dmesg and also don’t know how to scroll the history since I’m not on a terminal app (since I can’t get the NIC up).
Anything here helpful?
Ohhh. In that last line. I wasn’t even looking at that, I assumed the block above that was setting up the primary NIC…
I’ll see if changing that interface name does it…
It’s late. I’ll have to pull the card and re run tomorrow. But here’s with the GPU in:
It’s an i7-14700 and an ASRock z690 extreme. I’m actually hoping to put a second GPU in the last PCIe slot so I can let proxmox use the iGPU, pass the 3060 into a Unix moonlight gaming VM, and pass an RX590 into a hackintosh VM.
ASRock Z90 Extreme.
Has 2 built in NICs. The intel 1g and the Broadcom 2.5g.
Trying to use the Broadcom here, though my Ethernet is only 1g house wide, so I could try the intel if that seems like it could help..
Ok. I’ll check it out.
Let’s say it is exhausted… what will get me more bandwidth? CPU or mobo..?
Only other pci-e card in at the moment is 16 line HBA seems to be basically 2 cards sandwiched on one board)…
Like the title says. I installed a GPU, everything posts and boots fine. The lights on the Ethernet port are lit up and will stay lit up indefinitely (I assume) if I leave it at the kernel select screen.
But as soon as I load a kernel, the lights go dark. It also is not shown as an active client on my gateway, so it’s not working at all.
I’ve tried lots of commands I’ve found to force it up. It looks to me like the NIC assigned to vmbr0 is correct. Etc. I just can’t get it to work.
If I remove the GPU, it immediately works again. NIC stays up after the kernel loads and I can access the web UI as normal.

I can’t even figure out how to tell if it’s supported or not. If it is supported, I can’t figure out how to enable it. If it is enabled, idk where I should be seeing it in proxmox!
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Breakthrough would mark ‘holy grails of modern physics, unlocking major new developments in energy, transportation, healthcare, and communications’ – but it is a long way from being proven
