Virtualized Freenas disk error during boot and hanging

I am running Proxmox 6.2 bare metal and I have FreeNAS virtualized originally via a pair of mirrored USB sticks but recently moved to a virtualized drive. The usb drives were passed through from proxmox. I am using the same FreeNAS config setup in both methods.

My issue is that I am getting disk/sector errors upon trying to boot the FreeNAS vm. Here is a screenshot: https://imgur.com/a/TDVqR6v

The VM won't boot past this. It just hangs here forever. I have learned ALOT about Proxmox in the past 6 months but the disk stuff is where I am probably the weakest.

I did try this fix...but it didn't really help. https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/freenas-kernel-panics-on-initial-boot.62742/. I've also tried a variety of other settings to no avail.

I checked the addresses of the drives for the pass through. They all seem OK. I updated proxmox. I still can't get past the hang. However, I was able to boot into FreeNAS by booting directly from the USB drive on the server itself.

Similarly, if I modify the FreeNAS vm proxmox conf file and modify the number of drives being passed over I can get it to boot. It works with ANY 3 drives enabled but I can never get more than 3 before the boot up hangs with a similar error to the image I posted above.

I recently went as far as rebooting the server to see if it was a memory issue...but no luck.


Any tips or suggestions that I can try? I have really gained a fondness over Proxmox for other vm purposes so although this setup is not recommended I would really love to get it working again.
