As i told before i tried that. Results are same!!!!!!!

I suggest you settle down. As I said,

I think there's still something else amiss, but it's probably best to fix one issue at a time.

Part of problem solving is being methodical and eliminating possibilities. Anyways, be sure to keep your firmware at P20 now. That's expected to work and other things are expected to exhibit various issues, usually not serious problems, but still.

I'm actually rather curious about how your boot device came to have an 8K block size, incidentally. That's not at all normal as far as I'm aware.

The refusal to identify is very interesting. What happens if you try a SATA disk in one of the bays?

Also, maybe I'm just not seeing it, but we're missing your hardware manifest. Can you please provide some detailed specs about the system you are trying this on, particularly paying attention to the SAS components such as the backplane?

In moment when i try to write anything on disks (i can create partitions with fdisk with some errors but partition table is written on hdd) like create zpool i have only errors which i couldn't find in google.

Any particular reason you are trying to do all this via CLI and not in the GUI? Also, you really never stated what version of FreeNas you are running (unless I missed that somewhere)..

Lastly, can you post the output of "sas2flash -list"? I know you already did a "-listall"; feel free to obscure/exclude the SAS Address.

Unless something obvious shakes out in his hardware manifest, which we still haven't seen, this is obscure enough (at least to me) that I'd have to go pulling out tech doc to figure out the meaning of the CDB, and I just don't have the time right now...

and why i use cli. i'm guy who started with computers in 1981'st long time before click era. yes, i use win gui and linux x on my personal computer, but any work on server side (switch, server, storage, etc) is more configurable through cli and of course more verbose. In gui a have nothing, nether clue what is going on with this case. here i have log files to see what is going on

That's not a hardware manifest. That's a description of a few things in your system.

we're missing your hardware manifest. Can you please provide some detailed specs about the system you are trying this on, particularly paying attention to the SAS components such as the backplane?

Anyways, at this point, I'm going to be out of the office for awhile and probably won't be participating in this thread any further, as doing this sort of debugging/researching is difficult on a laptop. You may wish to submit a bug report to see if maybe a developer can look into the error message. My best guess is that those drives may have something unusual about them, such as custom (RAID array?) firmware, or there's something odd about the backplane, or possibly that the P20 driver has some previously-unrecognized issue. But faced with a user who is evading questions about the hardware platform in use, that raises other questions, and I wouldn't be totally shocked to find out it is something else entirely.

all kind of sata drives (3.5', 2.5', server or desktop, any size, 500GB, 1TB, ...) are working fine w/o any problem

lol, coffee is needed too.. This one is a little perplexing. Components seem technically sound. Just thinking that if the HBA and drives work on a different system without issue, then it would help narrow it down a bit. Of course, I am not using SAS or NLSAS so I can't compare too much.

I have a few small 2.5" SAS drives, might slap a couple in a test system to see, but if that were an issue I am sure it would have been brought up a long time ago.

Right, but to date we still haven't even been told what the rest of this system is. Also, judging from the backplane part number, it seems like there's probably an SAS expander involved, see

http://www.itcreations.com/view_product.asp?product_id=44853

and I didn't see any evidence of that in the camcontrol devlist, which I'd normally expect to see. For example an LSI will usually show up as "<LSI SAS2X36 ${version}>.*,ses0)"

So your earlier thoughts about eliminating the backplane from the equation was probably a very good idea, too bad SAS makes that so hard to do.

I have a few small 2.5" SAS drives, might slap a couple in a test system to see, but if that were an issue I am sure it would have been brought up a long time ago.

I actually wonder about that. For the most part, we've been steering people at SATA drives because the cost for the WD Red or Seagate NAS class drives is so much less expensive than the nearline SAS or enterprise SATA (or whatever you want to call the SATA version of a NL-SAS drive) stuff. 7200RPM isn't really that helpful with ZFS.

Unfortunately I only have one 2.5" SAS drive free here and I think it may be dead, and I don't have any P20 controllers anyways. So if you do get an opportunity to test with some 2.5" SAS drives, that'd be helpful to the discussion. We largely stopped deploying SAS drives ~5 years ago back when it became clear that SSD was a better option for fast storage and SATA HDD was suitable for most of our large storage needs,

as i told earlier, in same server, same raid ctrl, same cables, same backplane i tried sas drives 300GB/15K/6BbSAS from 2012. year and they worked fine but they are 3.5" and i can't put then in server normally.
newer sas drives 2.5" 900GB/10K/6GbSAS, produced last year, from different vendors (toshiba, seagate, hitachi) doesn't work
all sata drives works correctly

Here is the best I can do. Located an older Dell Savvio 15K 146GB 2.5" SAS drive. I have a Dell C2100/FS12-TY 12 Bay that currently is running "FreeNAS-9.3-Nightlies-201601280300" (was trying a fix for an IPMI possible bug fix...).

Anyways, bays/trays can do either 3.5" or 2.5" so I will throw a mixture at it and see what I get. HBA is a H200 that has been crossflashed and has the latest P20:

Also, there is a firmware update for the SAS Drive from Dell (dated Nov 15, 2013) that I can apply to the SAS Drive later (want to see how it detects as-is right now).

This is a "test box" right now, so we can run the Stable version as well if needed.

Will post back in a bit with some test results (sorry I don't have any newer SAS/NLSAS drives).

Okay, here is what I have done thus far:
  • Attached 3 differnet drives to my test system:
    • "dao" = 146 GB 2.5" SAS Drive
    • "da1" = 3 TB 3.5" SATA Drive
    • "da2" = 320 GB 2.5" SATA Drive
  • Created a mirror using da0 and da1 (should have used da2 instead, but oh well...)
upload_2016-2-5_9-18-28.png
  • Created a CIFS Share
upload_2016-2-5_9-38-37.png

  • Created a test file and wrote to it, then viewed it on a Windows machine

Thinking about trying to update the SAS Drive Firmware and then see if I have any issues. Can even wipe it all and re-run the test again. Only thing I have see thus far is the same error from "camcontrol identify" when ran against the SAS Drive.

I didn't list system specs, but if needed I can (everyone should know that I run Dell PowerEdge C2100/FS12-TY Servers by now though...)
Let me know if there are any other things anyone can think of I should try.

Well, I updated the SAS Drive Firmware:

Destroyed the Dataset/Volume, created a new mirror using the two smaller drives. Create a new Volume and CIFS Share; then wrote a file to it:

Sorry, I am not able to re-create the issue... Maybe I need a newer SAS to test with (mine has a DOM of 10/2011..)

Wondering if there is some funkiness with IBM Servers? They seem to have some type of "SAS/SATA hard drive update" that lists a ton of drives. I could understand if this were firmware updates, but the "Change History" is huge..

OP, is your Server updated with IBM's most recent Firmware/BIOS/etc.?

To chime in here, I have the same problem with IBM branded Seagate ST9300605SS (300GB SAS2) disks with the mps driver (m1015 crossflashed with p20) in an IBM 3650 m3. I'm assuming it's some sort of firmware issue, although with IBM having cutoff firmware updates without a valid support contract I've been unable to test newer firmware. Perhaps disk firmware's are available. Currently I've been relegated to using them on a sas1068e controller, which is only a SAS1 controller.

That certainly suggests some general firmware issue to me.
