Hello everyone.
Below I have a few photos. One of which is my specs that are always asked for.
Anyways, I have a hard drive that will NOT format/wipe. I'm new to using FreeNAS (started last August of 2018?) so I am not familiar with all of the shell codes that everyone uses. I try to use the GUI, as that is what it is intended for. If the shell codes work and the GUI doesn't....well...in my eyes there is an issue with FreeNAS that needs to be worked on, as its broken. So, with that stated. I cannot get this to format. I bought two of the same hard drives (I'm going to state that they were formatted to 520 first and I know I need them as 512 (NetAPP)). I got one formatted and working just fine...the other kicks an error in FreeNAS. Suggestions? If I have to use the shell, I will, but since someone thought it was a good idea to erase the "paste" function on the last update, I am not going to be thrilled to do it that way. All help would be greatly appreciated. I KNOW other people have had this issue before, so I know this thread should be able to help others that follow or gave up, like I almost have.
Thank you again!
