[EFAULT] Failed to wipe disk da1: [Errno 5] Input/output error

[betty02]

Hi all,

First off let me explain my setup. Just got an IntelNUC at the moment running Proxmox, within that I have a VM running Portainer, HAOS and TrueNAS.

Now this is all purely for test purposes, I am new to all this virtualization stuff, and containers etc. Just playing around before I take a plunge into the markets of HomeLabs properly.

Anyway, I stuck a USB 3TB drive into my NUC, which is da1. When I go to create a pool I get this error -

[EFAULT] Failed to wipe disk da1: [Errno 5] Input/output error

I go to disks and I am able to run a SMART check OK. I know passing through USB isn't advised, but just for test sake is there anyone that is able to help me understand why I can't create a pool with this drive

Hugely appreicated.

An Intel NUC probably lacks the appropriate hardware to run TrueNAS in a VM. What disk controller are you passing in to the VM via PCIe passthru?

See

[---- 2024/01/16: Still relevant. Virtualization really doesn't change much. Updates made as appropriate. ----] [---- 2018/02/27: This is still as relevant as ever. As PCIe-Passthru has matured, fewer problems are reported. I've updated some...
