How do I install a SATA PCI card on openfiler

[mrgulic]

I built a SAN rinning openfiler and i have added a 4 port sata pci card but I do not know how to get it working.


Motherboard - GIGABYTE GA-M61P-S3 AM2 NVIDIA GeForce 6100 / nForce 430 ATX AMD Motherboard (4 port onboard sata).
The 4 onboard sata ports are connected to an Athena Power BP-SATA3051B 3 x 5.25" Bays to 5 x 3.5" HD (SATA) Backplane. I bought a
SYBA SD-SATA-4P (4 port) PCI SATA Controller Card to serve additional sata drives.

I installed the card, restarted openfiler but nothing appeared in the "Physical Storage Mgmt." tab on the web gui. I do not know linux well at all and endless searching on google got me nowhere.

I found a couple commands that showed me a little but I am not sure what to make of it.

I know that hda is the IDE drive where the OS is and sda, sdb, sdc, sdd are the four 500gb Western Digital SATA drives in the backplane which are connected to the onboard SATA.

The new drive is a 60gb samsung SATA laptop drive plugged directly into the PCI SATA card.

Can someone please help.

Check the BIOS. I have an IDE controller card that can only be seen if I use the RAID or Both option for the controller. The SATA setting won't see it.

I got it using:

[root@nas ~]# fdisk /dev/sde
