Input/Output error while creating pool

[stickerey]

Hi,

I installed Truenas on Proxmox and have an external ssd attached to the machine. I added that drive on proxmox and Truenas sees it:

When I want to create a pool, using that drive, I get below error:
Error: Input/output error during write on /dev/sdb

Can somebody please help me troubleshooting this?

USB devices for main pool storage are discouraged, but may still function. If you remove the external SSD from the VM and let Proxmox address it, are you able to format it with simple LVM?

I guess I'll be a bit a of burden here, cause I'm very new to the topic, so sorry in advance.

- If you remove the external SSD from the VM and let Proxmox address it - how do I do it?
- are you able to format it with simple LVM? - not sure how to do this.

In your Proxmox VM configuration, select the SCSI1 device and choose DETACH.

Then, in the Proxmox UI you should be able to see it under Datacenter -> Storage -> Add as a candidate for a new storage volume.

I forgot I already added it in the Datacenter Storage. it the ssd256 id one. can this be the issue?

Unmounting, then deleting it, then re-adding it in proxmox did the trick. Thanks for pointing me to the right direction :)
