[EFAULT] Failed to wipe disk

[Mclarenpitcrew]

HI all.

Sorry for being a bit of a newbie but using this as a bit of a learning project with mixed results so far.

Have been trying to add some drives and create a new pool when I gained the following error.

"[EFAULT] Failed to wipe disk da4: [EFAULT] Command dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/da4p1 bs=1M count=32 failed (code 1): dd: /dev/da4p1: Invalid argument 1+0 records in 0+0 records out 0 bytes transferred in 0.000626 secs (0 bytes/sec) "

On further inspection the following was stated
"Error: Traceback (most recent call last):

Now to try and fill in the blanks. I currently have 5 of the potential 8 drive spaces filled, all with used 4TB drives. I have managed to pool 3 discs 'da0,da1 and da2' but cannot seem to get da3 or da4 to play ball and eventually want to fill the final 3 empty drive bays.

These are all in a:
Dell T330
Xeon E3-1240 - 3.7Gz
32Gb Ram
IT flashed
TrueNAS-12.0-U3

Hope this enough for someone to give me a simple (stupid) answer.

Thanks in advance

MPC
