Yes it is…

yes, 3.0

5

so, how long it can takes? 01 week or 02 weeks ??

6

Don’t know, and since you’re using an unsupported method to add storage i doubt anyone can answer your question.

7

Nothing for a TrueNAS forum then.

8

Does Truenas even see all 4 drives individually with unique serial # ?

9

How are you adding this storage? As a new pool? As a new vDev to an existing pool? Through RAIDZ expansion?

Please run the following commands to give us some detailed information about your system and post the output here with the output from each command separately in a </> box:

  • lsblk -bo NAME,MODEL,ROTA,PTTYPE,TYPE,START,SIZE,PARTTYPENAME,PARTUUID
  • sudo zpool status -v
  • sudo zpool import
10

Where are you seeing this “progress”?

Erasing and creating a new pool should take less than a few minutes.

seems there are some issues with the HDD batches. i have returned them

12

yes, they were pass through from proxmox

13

HDD were faulty. I have changed them

14

So Truenas in a VM ? Why did you not give this info earlier ?

How are they passed though ? The only way that is somewhat safe is by passthrough of the entire sata controller or HBA - never individual discs and not USB.

How were they faulty ? How did you determine that ?

I agree with Farout - before you attempt to do anything further, please allow us to confirm that you have Proxmox configured correctly for virtualising TrueNAS.

In Proxmox, please run the following commands and post the results here with the output from each command in a separate </> box:

  • lsblk -bo NAME,MODEL,ROTA,PTTYPE,TYPE,START,SIZE,PARTTYPENAME,PARTUUID
  • lspci
  • sudo sas2flash -list
  • sudo sas3flash -list
  • sudo zpool status -v
  • sudo zpool import
16

when i changed the HDD its works and create new ZFS system same way

17

they were stuck in wiping. so its a firmware level issue, i got sales return!
