I deleted all the two hard drive partitions and formatted them as ext4. I'm sorry I can't understand what you mean. I found this on the official website, but I don't know if it can be solved. Finally, thank you very much for your reply
You should not partition as ext4 yourself.
There is no data that you need on your drives anymore, right? Then you can do the following:
DANGEROUS: This will remove everything!
Double check which drives your wiping!
You have to replace the X with your drive. Afterewards, you should be able to create the Mirror in the GUI.

Thank you very much for your reply. I just performed the above operations on two hard drives, but found that error code 1 is still returned. So I would like to ask if it is caused by the different sizes of the two hard drives? (I have a 320GB hard drive and one 250GB) Thank you very much
Different disk sizes are indeed a problem. But then the error log should say:
You cannot use the -f in the GUI, because this is not an ideal situation. You will only have the size of the smaller disk available. Therefore, you have to perform that task on the command line.
Code:
invalid vdev specification
use '-f' to override the following errors:
mirror contains devices of different sizesI use the terminal to execute the command. My process is posted below. If it is really a hard drive problem, the hard drive I bought will arrive tomorrow.Thank you
If you could feel offended, then I'm sorry. I am a noob, I hope you can understand. . . How can I execute it if I use a command? Can you tell me?I mean the error log when you create the zpool in the GUI
No worries, I didn't.
Using wipefs and dd in the terminal is fine. In the same terminal you can then try
"testpool" is the name of the pool. You can choose a different name.
But this should give you the error
so you have to append -f
and if you then type
then the name of your pool should appear
After that, you should be able to add your pool as storage for PVE in Datacenter->Storage->Add->ZFS
Using wipefs and dd in the terminal is fine. In the same terminal you can then try
Code:
zpool create testpool mirror /dev/nvme0n1 /dev/sdaBut this should give you the error
Code:
➜ ~ zpool create testpool mirror /dev/nvme0n1 /dev/sda
invalid vdev specification
use '-f' to override the following errors:
mirror contains devices of different sizes
Code:
zpool create testpool mirror /dev/nvme0n1 /dev/sda -f
Code:
zpool list
Code:
➜ ~ zpool list

I downloaded 6.3-1 from the official website, and then I remember I executed apt upgrade and apt update. . .
Yes, I have this plan, and I plan to install PVE on the Nvme hard drive. Then hang two 1T mechanical hard drives.
Sorry, when I repeat the operation. No surprises, mistakes are repeated, the same as the previous ending, sadly
congratulate! I finished. When I use Debian and install PVE, it works.Thank you very much for your patient answers.
