first i had an ERROR Compression algorithm inherit not supported so i was told to reinstall…
so i put 2 good SSD’s in and reinstalled TrueNAS upon boot up i get
“Failed to import pool ‘boot-pool’”
i then put 1 SSD in and reinstalled and got the same ERROR!
i have gotten this before and it seems people have had problems with it…
going to try to wipe them with diskpart in windows
if that wont work ill have to open the wife’s PC running Linux and run “blkdiscard /dev/” and hope that helps
What are Hw spec? Any chance that a raid controller Is involved?
The problem is the drives aren’t fully wiped when doing an install, even though the installer says it will.
Kingston sv300s37a 120gb
There SATS SSD on the Motherboard sata ports.
Supermicro X8DTE-F
Yep i understand, i have to admit that i didn’t ever encounter this problem personally but other people like you did.
Just to mention:
you can do that also during installation via the shell, same commands blkdiscard /dev/* , or maybe try a dd (way longer).
This thread is quite different but have some things to try, hope it helps a bit to achieve this
Boot from a Linux rescue disk and wipe the drives, I tend to prefer PartedMagic for zeroing out the drives. I should probably buy the newest version, I think mine is 3 or 4 years old. Pretty sure you can download and run it for free, but the cost to help support a tool I use is cheap enough that I buy it every few years to update things.
That said, I do also have some HBCD for when I need to do things in Windows like BIOS updates or simple diskpart clean disk erase. If you run diskpart clean all that should be as good as the disk wiping from PartedMagic, but I think it is slower by a long shot to some of the alternate methods offered in PartedMagic.
i have ran in to this like 6 times but “blkdiscard” fixed it… it’s just annoying 
i don’t like to run stuff on the server to wipe drives because i have 30 SAS drives and i don’t want to wipe the wrong one 
Oh, that makes sense. Normally my boot drives are so small that it’s easier to tell boot from data, but I’ve also gone through multiple checks over a longer than I care to admit period of time before wiping a disk, just to make certain I’m wiping the correct one.
