Install AMD RYZEN FakeRaid Driver (rcraid) on Debian 11 (PVE 7)
Today I’m trying to use ASUS TUF GAMING B450M-PRO S’s buildin SATA RAID (Fake RAID) to create RAID 0 disk on my PVE homelab.
I follow the ASUS’s BIOS Fake RAID manual to setup the RAID 0, but I cant see the RAID disk by useing fdisk -l on PVE system.
After search the reason on the Internat, I know that I should insmod AMD RAID driver which named rcraid. You can refer to the following steps:
Method 1: compile it yourself
1. Install depends
1.1. Install headers
Follow the pve repostories wiki, edit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pve-enterprise.list, change to pve-no-subscription
deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian/pve bullseye pve-no-subscription
#deb https://enterprise.proxmox.com/debian/pve bullseye pve-enterprise
apt install pve-headers-$(uname -r)
1.2. Install Other Depends
apt install sudo build-essential unzip git
2. Download AMD Raid Driver
https://www.amd.com/en/support/chipsets/amd-socket-am4/x370
Although this driver is compatible with X370 chipset.
But is also working for my B450 chipset.
mkdir -pv rcraid && cd rcraid
cp -v ../raid_linux_driver_8_01_00_039_public.zip ./
unzip raid_linux_driver_8_01_00_039_public.zip
3. Download Patch
This driver code can’t be compiled under kernel 5.11.22-1-pve, we should use the aur rcraid-dkms package patch.
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/rcraid-dkms.git
cd driver_sdk/src
ls ../../rcraid-dkms/*.patch | xargs -i sh -c 'patch -p1 <{}'
4. Compile driver and install
cd ..
sudo ln -sv /usr/src/linux-headers-$(uname -r)/ /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build
sudo bash ./install
sudo reboot
Method 2: use prebuild ubuntu package
Change repostory
edit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pve-enterprise.list:
deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian/pve bullseye pve-no-subscription
#deb https://enterprise.proxmox.com/debian/pve bullseye pve-enterprise
edit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/rcraid.list:
deb [trusted=yes] http://ppa.launchpad.net/thopiekar/rcraid/ubuntu hirsute main
Install rcraid-dkms package:
apt update
apt install rcraid-dkms pve-headers-$(uname -r) # or pve-headers
Update grub:
Append modprobe.blacklist=ahci to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT in /etc/default/grub
then run:
update-grub
reboot
