Hello all,

I have been using FreeNAS for a while now and have really been enjoying it. I recently added some new disks to my Free NAS server, but received the following error "MiddlewareError: Unable to GPT format the disk "da0": gpart: Invalid alignment param: Invalid argument." I did some searching before posting and tried to import the disk and then delete it but was unable to get the disk to import. There was some suggestions of using debugflags or dd but since my experience with those commands is low I wanted to ask before I use commands that could cause issues. Below if the full error screen that I receive. Any help is appreciated.
Code:

Did you first test these drives with the badblocks process to ensure that they are healthy and working properly?
