Cannot import 4 disks from external enclosure but system sees the disks

[Borja]

Hello,

I know its not very recommended and this kind of external enclosure are not fully supported. I replaced my main 4 disks for bigger ones and i want to use the olders to have more space dedicated to non critical tasks. For that, i have a 4 bay USB3 IcyBOX.
I have installed the disks on the icyBOX and connected to the freenas system using USB3. I can see the disks from the system using command:

Code:

root@NASI:~ # camcontrol devlist
<TOSHIBA HDWG460 0601>             at scbus0 target 0 lun 0 (pass0,ada0)
<TOSHIBA HDWG460 0601>             at scbus1 target 0 lun 0 (pass1,ada1)
<TOSHIBA HDWG460 0601>             at scbus2 target 0 lun 0 (pass2,ada2)
<TOSHIBA HDWG460 0601>             at scbus3 target 0 lun 0 (pass3,ada3)
<AHCI SGPIO Enclosure 2.00 0001>   at scbus6 target 0 lun 0 (ses0,pass4)
<HP iLO Internal SD-CARD 2.10>     at scbus8 target 0 lun 0 (da0,pass5)
<H/W DISK 1 0523>                  at scbus9 target 0 lun 0 (da1,pass6)
<H/W DISK 2 0523>                  at scbus9 target 0 lun 1 (da2,pass7)
<H/W DISK 3 0523>                  at scbus9 target 0 lun 2 (da3,pass8)
<H/W DISK 4 0523>                  at scbus9 target 0 lun 3 (da4,pass9)
root@NASI:~ #      

The last 4 disk are the externals.

Problem is when i try to import the disks, in the context menu there are only two which "da4p1" and "da4p2". Dont know how can i import the rest two disks.
The disks are not formatted have the RAID-Z1 config used before.

Any ideas?

It seems i can manage everything from the shell about this disks but are not appearing in the UI.

TrueNAS manages its disks by their serial number. Many USB enclosures don't present unique serial numbers for individual drives. So even if you successfully build a pool on the command line you are running with a high risk of spontaneous data loss. This setup is definitely not recommended.
