Howdy! :)

So I just finished installing the hypervisor, and now all of my SAS drives are flipping out when i try to make a ZFS storage pool form them.

As a Single Drive I get...

Error reading device /dev/sdc at 0 length 512.



Error reading device /dev/sdc at 0 length 4096.
# /sbin/zpool create -o ashift=12 Test01 /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-35000cca01db336d4
cannot label 'sdc': try using parted(8) and then provide a specific slice: -3
TASK ERROR: command '/sbin/zpool create -o 'ashift=12' Test01 /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-35000cca01db336d4' failed: exit code 1


For all of them I get


command '/sbin/zpool create -o 'ashift=12' ZFS01 raidz /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-35000cca01db336d4 /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-35000cca01db20af4 /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-35000cca01d5c7010 /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-35000cca01db3079c /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-35000cca01d510bac /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-35000cca01db26aac /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-35000cca01dadee50 /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-35000cca01d5c3c84' failed: exit code 1
 
Welcome in the forum! You did not tell us anything about your hardware :-(
  • what kind of computer do you have? Brand? Specific Type?
  • what kind of disk controller does it have? A Raid Controller? Firmware version? "IT"-Mode? Connected to motherboard?
  • what brand/type of disk is it?
  • how do you boot? From the same disk? (Of course not, but you did not tell us...)
  • what is the output of lsblk ? (Please put all output in [CODE]xyz[/CODE]-Blocks)
  • what is the output of smartctl -i /dev/sdc?
  • when you run dmesg, is there some obvious error message regarding sdc? What is the output of dmesg | grep sdc?
  • what gives ls -al /dev/disk/by-id/?
Without giving some information you can not expect any helpful answer...

Ahoy!

That’s a fair point. I actually ended up solving this myself there’s an issue with one of the 24 SAS drives. I recreated and tor apart the volume adding one drive at a time till I isolated it. Probably not the best way to go about it but I’m new to this.

Thanks for coming to my Ted talk.
