Having problems creating pool tried everything

Hi

I am a new user of TrueNAS SCALE.
have used core for about a year I am having problems creating a pool with 24x drives

Code:

Please find attached the log and a screenshot

Im using a dell R720XD with a HBA for a DS2246 24x drives

I can't for the life of me work it out I've tried deleting partitions reinstalling its been 5 hours and I just can seem it fix it

Many thanks for any help if I have posted something wrong please let me know

It would be helpful to know the type of pool you are creating. With 24 drives, 2, 3 or even 4 vDevs would not be out of line. Even 12, 2 way mirrored vDevs are an option.

So, what ZFS pool configuration are you looking at?
Is the problem happening on just the one disk?
Or a few, but not all disks?
What type of disks, SATA HDD, or SAS drives?

It is possible if the problem is just 1 or a few disks, you can create your pool without them, (and the vDev you would create with them). This is more of a test to make sure your over all configuration looks good.

Last, an update to TrueNAS SCALE has been released yesterday;
TrueNAS SCALE 22.02.4 has been released!
Perhaps you ran across a bug that is now fixed.

Hi thank you for the reply,

so its all drives even if I format two or fDISK two and try and mirror them they are dell 1.2tb 10K SAS drives 9207-16 lsi HBA and I planned on 8 disks per vdev RAIDZ2 as I plan on adding more drives I have tried the latest update and if I install TrueNAS Core its all detected and working fine I've even tried updating but then it will not work

Hmm, if TrueNAS Core worked, you could try creating the pool their and then using TrueNAS SCALE to import the pool. Just as a test.

Otherwise, I don't have any other suggestions. Perhaps someone else can help.
