Adding New Pool or Vdev get [Errno 2] No such file or directory

[phillipsmail2]

I have 2 new rives that I would like to add to increase the size of my Pool. every time I try to add a vdev it gives me this error code.
I have also tried to create a new Pool and I receive the same error message. what can I do to fix this?

Code:

Can you wipe the disks in the UI?

Can you share the screen before you get that error?

 

[phillipsmail2]

Yes I can wipe them fine and have done a quick wipe as well as one full with random data as well as one full with zeros.

I cannot capture the screen quickly enough. It starts and immediately comes up with the error.

I don't think we're talking about the same screen... before you press the button to create the pool, what's that look like.

 

[phillipsmail2]

Once I Click on Add VDEVS and confirm, it will process for about half a second and then the error message comes up.

da2 showing up as UNKNOWN (rather than HDD or SSD) is strange.

Can we look into the smartctl -a for both drives?

 

[phillipsmail2]

When you mentioned that, I Swapped drives and noticed that one of the cables is not working properly, I am getting a replacement cable to see if that clears up the communication problem. I will post as soon as I receive the new cable.

 

[phillipsmail2]

Replaced the cable that had the communication issue. Everything works after replacement. No error! Thank you for helping me track it down.
