I have a fresh install of FreeNAS-11.1-RELEASE. I have 6 second hand SAS drives which I formatted using the utility within the SAS configuration at boot. An LSI SAS9211-8i running 20.00.04.00-IT
When I go to create my first and only volume on this machine I get the following error:
MiddlewareError: Unable to GPT format the disk "da0": gpart: geom 'da0': File exists

Some other useful info:
I cant seem to run gpart destory as mentioned in the tread ether:
I am very lost. Any help or guidance of where to look would be helpful.

Here is what I have done with no success:
- use diskinfo -v da0 to get my media size in sectors (all disks are the same; da0,1,2,3,4,5)
- subtracted 2048 from that number for my seek value.
- However when I went to run the first command I got an error:
Code:[root@freenas ~]# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/da0 bs=512 count=1000 dd: /dev/da0: Invalid argument 1+0 records in 0+0 records out 0 bytes transferred in 0.000060 secs (0 bytes/sec) [root@freenas ~]#
