Each Rocket card supported at most 8 disks.

Any board using the Marvell SAS chips is not suitable for use with Linux at this time due to the poor driver quality.

I would be very grateful to you. Yes, I can help. Replace the HighPoint boards with LSI 9211-8i boards and everything should work fine, barring any compatibility issue with the Tilera platform. -- Stan
