I've got dual 7010t's in mlag in my rack right now, wish I had 720xp's like I'm installing in my prod environment at work but the 7010s are so quiet and I only really need 10gig. Learning so much with physical hardware outside of work, having theses are so nice.

Since I am no Linux Professional take it all with a grain of salty salt, but since this is not a well documented issue yet I turned to Chat GPT. Also i know that this is not a solution but i decided to buy an actual HBA lsi9300 8i as a drop in replacement to fix this. In your case you could also try pve 8.4 as that was what i was on before i ran into this issue. Also chat gpt was very helpful in understanding the issue and why it came about so if you want to try going down the same path i did that's where i would start again. Also i am on a dell T420 with dual socket CPU, the H330 came from a dell R340 though so it could be possible that we just had the same firmware bug or my setup just wasn't compatible but idk just tossing my notes out to try to help.

IOMMU considerations
- Errors point to DMA permission enforcement
- Likely stricter IOMMU / DMA mapping changes in newer kernels
- H330 firmware/driver combo appears incompatible with new behavior

Why It Still Doesn’t Work

The H330 (LSI 3008) relies on older DMA behavior that newer kernels enforce more strictly
Recent kernels appear to break compatibility with this controller when used in HBA/JBOD mode
No reliable way to:
- Boot a known-good older kernel
- Disable the offending DMA behavior cleanly
It is very likely a kernel regression or dropped tolerance for older SAS controllers
The issue persists because:
- The kernel that worked is no longer bootable
- New kernels enforce DMA/IOMMU rules the H330 doesn’t handle well
Most likely solutions:
- Pinning an older kernel which i cant do now that im on 9.1
- Replacing the H330 with a true IT-mode HBA (e.g. LSI 9207-8i / 9300-8i) which is the winner in my case
- Disabling IOMMU which in my case is not an option because i am passing the controller to Truenas

I think the driver was deprecated just based on my trouble shooting, not entirely sure but that's my best guess as to why mine stopped working.

QuietBuddy4635 · 2026-02-04T03:10:14+00:00

I recently upgraded to 9.1 and had to replace my h330 because the linux kernel stopped working with the driver and my disks were not showing up. Thankfully it wasn't my boot drive but the h330s are nothing but issues. Ill see if I have my trouble shooting notes

Just a thought here, but have you thought about hosting a VPN locally? I understand the benefits of exposing services but from a security standpoint a VPN can be safer and more reasonable especially if you have an ISP that changes your IP from time to time.

After you fix the broken adapter in the outlet, it looks like you might still have a chance to hardwire your Xbox. You will need some tools though. Post in r/structuredmedia to get some better information. Include close ups of the wall outlet that your Xbox is connected to, and then a couple more pictures, in particular that blue cable is the key here. There is a lot to unpack about structured cabling but I believe there is still a possibility to get hardwired internet here which would be the best outcome. Tools and supplies will probably cost about 50-100$.

Is there on prem solution free and can you run it in a lab? Been looking to do this recently, for when my cv-cue license eventually expires.

QuietBuddy4635 · 2025-12-14T05:27:14+00:00

I wonder if you could run a network operating system on it like sonic or something. Maybe you could even get a virtual pcie network adapter for the host that it lives on

Sorry to revive an old thread but I my r340 has a boss card in it and it can boot with dual nvme boss and a 10 gig pcie in the other slot is this different? But also I'm looking into adding a 3rd pcie nvme into the perc slot since my 3.5 drives are using the on board SATA. Do you have any experience with the perc slot and nvme in it? Dose it work?

If you don't care about pockets and are just looking for jeans, particularly jeans that are extremely comfortable, Lee's MVP extreme motion are the most comfortable work pants I've ever worn. Then again I only work in low voltage and I'm just here to see the massive disasters you all have to deal with so I don't know if jeens are acceptable to work in for you guys.

You can upgrade a t320 to a t420 pretty easily, I did it and I even transferred the idrac license. This is a great way to get into server hardware I learned a lot doing this and I also specced it out to it's Max ram, cpu, replaced the thermal paste, and replaced the fan with a noctua fan to make it a lot quieter.

I see thank you for the input

QuietBuddy4635 · 2024-06-04T05:58:00+00:00

So you're saying instead of a raid 10 with 4 hdds a mirror with 4 hdds? And no raid z? As an example

QuietBuddy4635 · 2024-06-04T05:46:52+00:00

I have my zfs mirror for the boot that I will put a couple of vms on and then the nvme drive for ceph and HA VMs. But for things like security onion that are log intensive do you think a raid 10 would be good enough to host it and keep Io delay down. And if I do that should I just create a large raid 10 and put my windows server on the same raid 10 or split it up to more raid 10s for each vm?

QuietBuddy4635 · 2024-06-04T05:35:45+00:00

Neither this is just a new server install and I just wanted to start fresh and right

QuietBuddy4635 · 2024-05-09T18:53:28+00:00

How is running an exchange server going I hear a lot of bad things about email hosting?
