ZFS Issues - Need help creating ZFS Storage via GUI

[TheePorkchopExpress]

I have been trying to set up my storage using a group of 900gb SAS drives in raidz(1) - and everythime I create it I am getting the error messages below.

I am just not sure how to do what it is saying I need to do, can anyone please help?

Edit: it is not just sdc, I tried to create a POOL without SDC and got the same error message but on SDE. I have tried fdisk, sgdisk, wipefs, and DD commands and have had no luck. What should I do?

cannot label 'sdc': try using parted(8) and then provide a specific slice: -3

# /sbin/zpool create -o ashift=12 data raidz /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-35000cca05756b614 /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-35000cca057584fb4 /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-35000cca05757ed80 /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-35000cca0575659d4 /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-35000cca05757938c /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-35000cca05757e820 /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-35000cca0167f7d64 /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-35000cca0222b21d0 /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-35000cca071053084 /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-35000cca02226f4d8 /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-35000cca0222ee490 /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-35000cca0222b6bd4 /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-35000cca05718ca18 /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-35000cca0222b6a04 cannot label 'sdc': try using parted(8) and then provide a specific slice: -3 TASK ERROR: command '/sbin/zpool create -o 'ashift=12' data raidz /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-35000cca05756b614 /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-35000cca057584fb4 /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-35000cca05757ed80 /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-35000cca0575659d4 /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-35000cca05757938c /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-35000cca05757e820 /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-35000cca0167f7d64 /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-35000cca0222b21d0 /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-35000cca071053084 /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-35000cca02226f4d8 /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-35000cca0222ee490 /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-35000cca0222b6bd4 /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-35000cca05718ca18 /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-35000cca0222b6a04' failed: exit code 1

I have tried fdisk, sgdisk, wipefs, and DD commands

Did you try to use the Gui? There is a "Wipe Disk" command button on the "<node>" - "Disks" page...

Best regards

Yes sorry should have included that - this is the message I get (when I wipe all drives)

wiping block device /dev/sdc dd: fdatasync failed for '/dev/sdc': Input/output error 200+0 records in 200+0 records out TASK ERROR: error wiping '/dev/sdc': 209715200 bytes (210 MB, 200 MiB) copied, 15.1361 s, 13.9 MB/s

'/dev/sdc': Input/output error

The system is not able to write (and/or read) Data to this device.

• check the cables. Simple unplug them and plug them in again
• test that drive in another computer, for example with an USB-Adapter

On the shell of the host:

• look at the output of smartctl -l error /dev/sdc
• does journalctl -b | grep sdc yield helpful information?

Depending on the results run a SMART (long) selftest.


Good luck

Thank you. Outputs are below.

Should I initialize the disk with gpt via the ui?

I am running the long smart tests now.
