I’m trying to upgrade my backup PLEX server. It’s an OptiPlex 390 (don’t laugh): i5 maxed at 8Gb RAM. I picked up an H310 raid card (Dell PERC H310 9240-8i M1015 SAS SATA 8-Port Raid Controller) but I’m having two issues that I can’t get past:

  1. I’m trying to raid 0 two 14Tb drives, it will only let me select one or the other, not both.

  2. “. . . megaraid_sas failed to init . . .”

The raid configuration (Ctrl-R) works and it’s posting, but when Ubuntu loads I get the failed to init msg.

Am I wasting my time?

    UPDATE: I threw in an old windows 10 drive into the machine and booted to that. It is having absolutely zero issues with the card. All drives on the RAID are fully visible and usable.

    THEREFORE: The issue is with Ubuntu, not the card.

    NOW: Any suggestions on how to get the card to init in Ubuntu?
