I went searching for information on sata port multiplier

Is this still the status of this and if so how do I set

true?
Well if you read the message you reference it states:
"So add a module parameter to enable pmp usage, and default
this to off, so
that directly attached disks keep working normally."
So it seems if you use a multiple you need to do a different
option
than without so it indicates it would need it. If you do "modinfo
ahci_sunxi" you'll see that actually the patch has landed and
there is
a enable_pmp parameter. So you'll need to create something like
/etc/modprobe.d/sunxi.conf and add a line "options ahci_sunxi
enable_pmp=1" line (no I've not verified that is correct so you'll
need to check it) and reboot.
Ah, thanks! I will try that. I was looking at:
/boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf and adding to the append line
something like:
AHCI_HFLAG_NO_PMP=0
So I would have been heading in the wrong direction...
Not entirely, it should also work having ahci_sunxi.enable_pmp=1 on
kernel cmdline.
Also, you may need to rebuild initramfs by running dracut -f after
modifying modprobe.d files.
So either way I may need to rebuild initramfs? I have yet to get this
right.
I boot with this option. It probably will not work; I will notice
this. Then as root I issue 'dracut -f' then reboot?

But it seems there were more messages about this...

I figured out the various ports on the muitiport card

One drive works fine. But two drives it is a bit of a

/dev/mmcblk0). And only one drive
is visible. Or at least gparted is only seeing one.
From messages back last fall? I had that this board
would let me use
multiple sata drives, so there seems to be something I
am missing.
Right now each item has its own power supply:
Cubietruck, Multiport card,
Drive1, and Drive2. So it is not a power issue (or
shouldn't be).
