USB 3.0 PCI Express Card - does it work?

[sdspieg]

I have a USB 3.0 PCI Express Card that I wanted to use to hook up an external USB HDD to my newly built NAS-system (with FreeNAS 8.3 beta2 on) to transfer files to my NAS storage. Does anybody know how to make that work? Right now I only see the two internal HDDs that are in FreeNAS as zfs/mirror and the USB stikc from which I run FreeNAS

Code:

[root@freenas ~]# camcontrol devlist                                            
<ST3000DM001-9YN166 CC4B>          at scbus0 target 0 lun 0 (pass0,ada0)        
<ST3000DM001-9YN166 CC4B>          at scbus2 target 0 lun 0 (pass1,ada1)        
< USB Flash Memory 1.00>           at scbus6 target 0 lun 0 (pass2,da0)  

But I do not see the drive that is connected to that PCI-card.

My dmesg.boot has a line saying "pci3: <serial bus, USB> at device 0.0 (no driver attached)" - could that be the culprit? And if so, is there anything that can be done about it?

USB 3.0 is supported but not enabled by default. Consult the manual to enable support.

 

[sdspieg]

Ok. Thanks. I did enable support:
System|Tunable|Add Tunable
xhci_load
YES
USB 3.0 support

And here's the result:

Code:

[root@freenas ~]# camcontrol devlist                                            
<ST3000DM001-9YN166 CC4B>          at scbus0 target 0 lun 0 (pass0,ada0)        
<ST3000DM001-9YN166 CC4B>          at scbus2 target 0 lun 0 (pass1,ada1)        
<HitachiG ST 0000>                 at scbus6 target 0 lun 0 (pass2,da0)         
< USB Flash Memory 1.00>           at scbus7 target 0 lun 0 (pass3,da1)

Success! Now I have to figure out how to start copying stuff. This is fun.

On a negative note: I once again 'lost' minidnla and sickbeard after rebooting. That is: they are still there, but they're turned 'off' now, and can't be turned on again.

Code:

Sep  9 12:54:38 freenas manage.py: [plugins.utils:71] Couldn't retrieve http://192.168.1.6/plugins/minidlna/_s/status: No JSON object could be decoded: line 1 column 0 (char 0)

Strange that it's always those two, and only those two that act up.

Oh and noobsauce80 - I'm sorry we noobs are SO predictable... I bet you also foresaw THIS right:

Code:

[root@freenas ~]# mkdir /mnt/usb                                                
[root@freenas ~]# mount -t ntfs /dev/da1s1 /mnt/usb                             
Error opening partition device: Operation not permitted.

Failed to mount '/dev/da1s1': Operation not permitted.                          
The NTFS partition is hibernated. Please resume Windows and turned it           
off properly, so mounting could be done safely.                                 
Mount failed.   

Any more suggestions?

 

[cyberjock]

I forsee... "user error" per my crystal ball :P

Actually I think that means that the file system was not properly detached. My guess is you unplugged the disk from the windows machine without a proper shutdown. The easiest way to fix the problem would be to plug the disk into a windows machine and then properly detach the drive or shutdown the windows machine.

You may be able to do a read only mount of the drive to but I don't know what the exact command would be.

 

[sdspieg]

Thanks! Does anybody else know? I've tried all sorts of things on the Windows side (the microsoft kb on this; just shutting down the whole pc with the drive connected), but I still keep getting the same message. PLease note that I just want to write FROM that drive, so if anybody knew how to mount that drive read-only, that might also do the trick!

 

[SumGuyV5]

Try mount the drive in readonly mode with the -r option see if that works.

 

[vaibhavyagnik]

run a disk cleanup on that disk. then remove it safely. This will sort out any errors in the filesystem that are preventing freenas from mounting it.

I know this necros the thread, but I just wanted to say thanks for this thread. I was about to post the exact same question (verbatim, pretty much) as the original poster, but found this thread. Question answered. Thanks!
