hello johnm,
test done with physical access to drives => issue is the same as with VT-d in the VM like you thought: no drive temps and spinup-down continuously.
so it is an Unraid 5B14 OR an adaptec+Asus issue
but not an ESXi issue
I saw that most of you on the thread are using IBM BR10i. Is there a reason for that ? I suppose i should test my conf with one of these cards, right?
Johnm:
I am using M1015's and SASLP-MV8's in my boxes.
The BR10i is pretty much obsolete going forward since it cant use any drives larger then 2TB.
If they ever patch that, then it might have life again. but it is pretty much end of life if it looks like.
if you already have one, then it should be a decent card for 2TB and smaller drives.

dont use beta14, use 12a or an older version.

Okay will try in about 1,5 hours, fortunately data rebuild works fine ;)

Try'd 12a, didnt help, still got issues with missing and redballing.
What would the impact be if I go back to 4.7? Would that even work?
Is there a 'recommend' unRAID version to use in ESXi?
prostuff1:
ESXi could care less what version you use for unRAID.

ESXi would not care, but unRAID seems to behave differently.
