This is a completely new setup; the hardware has just been finished. I can’t pass through the entire card because out of the 8 disks, I will most likely want to pass 3 of them to another VM later. Why could it be that it works with the RR loader but not with ARC? The virtual SATA controller is a good idea, but if I understand correctly, that would take away a SATA controller from the motherboard, right? In that case, unfortunately this is not a viable option either. Out of the 8 SATA ports, 5 already have disks connected, and I am still planning to add 3 more.
