Hi there,
I recently bought 3x SAS drives online (0F25722, connected via Mini SAS 36P SFF-8087 to 4 SFF-8482 to an LSI HBA), which when attempting to use caused TrueNas to throw an error:
Disk(s): sda, sdc are formatted with Data Integrity Feature (DIF) which is unsupported.
I followed the instructions online to format the drives with 512 byte sectors:
sg_format --format --size=512 /dev/sda
etc. for each drive. After ~8 hours or so, all three were completed. Now however, when I go to add a new VDEV to the existing ZFS pool, I can only see other drives, not these three. All three passed a short SMART test.
When I view disks, there they are. Viewable in the GUI, not attached to a pool, but unavailable to add new a new pool according the GUI.
The output from zpool status -v shows no interesting info:

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to proceed so that I can use these disks in my new vdev?
