Ada0: Previously was known as ad0

[majerus]

I just spun up my Freenas server again after letting it sit powered off for quite some time. While it was off I stole one of the HDD out of it as I needed it for another project. That disk was only part of a UFS from what I remember. Now that I have powered Freenas back on and try to use the disk I removed, I cannot seem to create a new file system on it. It does not show up in the gui menu under volume manager as a drive and to this point I am at a loss.

Heres what I have done so far

Quick Wiped the disk from the Web GUI, which didnt seem to help. I then did a dd if=zero of=dev/ada0 bs=1G for a few minutes then rebooted. Following the reboot I still could not put a file system on the drive.

I see the following in /var/log/messages
Mar 23 19:49:03 freenas kernel: ada0: 150.000MB/s transfers (SATA, UDMA6, PIO 8192bytes)
Mar 23 19:49:03 freenas kernel: ada0: 114473MB (234441648 512 byte sectors: 16H 63S/T 16383C)

Any ideas?

Were you able to figure this out?

I did not, I recreated my freenas instance.
