Failed to wipe disk nvd2: gpart: Operation not permitted

[Rabinovitch]

Welcome all!
This is my first experience with TrueNAS, and unfortunately it was an unpleasant experience.
My goal was to create a zpool with two SSDs for the cache. As usual in Ubuntu, I tried to preformat them with support for 4096 byte sectors.
The list of commands was as follows:

Code:

nvmecontrol devlist
geom disk list
smartctl -a /dev/nvme2ns1
gpart create -s gpt nvd2
gpart show
nvmecontrol format -f 2 nvme2ns1

The actions seem to have completed successfully, at least Namespace 1 Formatted LBA Size has become 4096. But when in the web interface I tried to create a zpool, TrueNAS was unable to include these SSDs pool.
What should I do about it? Nothing can be done in the console either.

I tried to do something similar on one of the drives (dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/nvd2 bs=512), but now the error sounds like

root@truenas[~]# gpart create -s gpt /dev/nvd2
gpart: Input/output error

I quote the error message in the attached screenshot. The detailed error message is:

Right now it looks like this:

root@lenstor1[~]# gpart create -s gpt /dev/nvd2
gpart: geom 'nvd2': File exists
root@lenstor1[~]# gpart create -s gpt /dev/nvd1
gpart: geom 'nvd1': File exists

And it looks that it can't be solved with any obvious measures...

root@lenstor1[~]# gpart destroy -F nvd2
gpart: Input/output error
root@lenstor1[~]# gpart destroy -F nvd1
gpart: Operation not permitted
root@lenstor1[~]# gpart destroy -F /dev/nvd1

root@lenstor1[~]# gpart destroy -F /dev/nvd2

root@lenstor1[~]# geom disk list
