Did I just brick my SAS drive?
I was trying to make a pool with the other 5 drives and this one kept giving errors. As a completer beginner I turned to gpt…
What can I do? Is that drive bricked for good?
Don’t clown on me, I understand my mistake in running shell scripts from Ai…
EMPTY DRIVES NO DATA
The initial error was:
Edit: sde and SDA are the same drive, name just changed for some reason And also I know it was 100% my fault and preventable 😞
**Edit: ** from LM22, output of sudo sg_format -vv /dev/sda (broken link)
BIG EDIT:
For people that can help (btw, thx a lot), some more relevant info:
Exact drive model: SEAGATE ST4000NM0023 XMGG
HBA model and firmware: lspci | grep -i raid 00:17.0 RAID bus controller: Intel Corporation SATA Controller [RAID mode] Its an LSI card Bought it here
Kernel version / distro: I was using Truenas when I formatted it. Now trouble shooting on other PC got (6.8.0-38-generic), Linux Mint 22
Whether the controller supports DIF/DIX (T10 PI): output of lspci -vv (broken link)
Whether other identical drives still work in the same slot/cable: yes all the other 5 drives worked when i set up a RAIDZ2 and a couple of them are exact same model of HDD
COMMANDS This is what I got for each command: (broken link)
Solved by y0din! Thank you soo much!
Thanks for all the help 😁
Oh my what a ride! I got everything up and running in a RAIDZ2 with the 6 x 4TB drives! (soon i will add another 4 x 1tb in an icy dock as a separate vdev)
Everything works now with no errors! 🥳
I could not have fixed this without your help. You are a lifesaver and probably saved this drive from the landfill lol. I honestly can’t thank you enough for your continuous support throughout many days!
You are the light that shows that there are still good people on the internet that want to help, and not just lurkers that laugh and move on and treat everything as content instead of a person on the other side sharing something that is important to them.
In my case I was in need of help, and like one comment put it: Out of the 50 messages of ridicule, one person will actually go out of their way and help.
I learned soo much and a good lesson too!
Thanks again for your help, and I will remember this interaction for the rest of my self-hosting journey! I’m serious.
Keep helping others and sharing your knowledge. I will pay this kind gesture forward in the new year, and help others more with the things that I know. 🫡
(Please don’t delete this convo, might help someone in the future)
Thanks again and Happy Holidays!
I wish you all the best in the New Year! 🤗 🎉
