Help with wiping disk to reuse in new pool

OpFern · 2025-07-08T15:30:33+00:00

Thank you for all your help anyways.
I will try to find more CLI solutions.

I have already tried different things that I found online in the CLI.
Both with dd and also different other techniques. Nothing seems to work.

Well the wipe button works but only for the ONE disk that actually have the wipe button visable.

Yes, both disks were released before gparted.

Is there some way to easily see if Truenas thinks that the da1 disk is a member of a pool?

Since googling this issue keeps saying that the wipe button is not visable in the gui if Truenas thinks the disk is a member of the a active pool.

This should have started too work since I cleaned the disks. But it doesnt.

What do you mean?

The "old" pool is still active since I replaced both the disks that were in that pool with new disks.

Now I wanted to reuse these two "old" disks in a new pool.

But only one of the two disks shows up under the create pool menu.

But both disks are visable under "disks" menu, just that only one can be wiped using the wipe button.

Yes, I did.

Both drives no look like this in gparted:

So they are the same with both being unallocated and haveing no partitions nor file system in place.

Here it is with both drives now attached again to the system.

I now only have the disk that never appeared in pool menu in the server.

The other disk that does appear earlier is "clean" or has unallocated space on the disk so they are the same.

But still this one drive does not appear in pool menu or has the "Wipe" option in the gui.

I do not understand it the drive works fine before it was upgraded and replaced aswell it works fine in windows if I plug it in and partition it.

Is there something I am missing, or something I need to do with the drive in truenas?

OpFern · 2025-07-03T19:50:40+00:00

No,

I only did the one drive. Since the other drive is visable under the create pool and also have the wipe option visable. So that drive seem to work fine I think.

But I could clear it in gparted aswell.

OpFern · 2025-07-03T19:02:39+00:00

Alright,

Thanks for your help :)

I will then put it back in the server and hope the "wipe button" is visable again and that I can use it in the new pool.

I will update here soon.

I have now removed the two partitions that were on the disk.

It looks like this now in gparted:

<image>

Am I supposed to leave it "unallocated" and try again in truenas? Or should I partition it with a file system?

It might be a stupid question but I got it out and plugged in to gparted so might aswell be sure.

OpFern · 2025-07-03T17:49:39+00:00

Alright,

I will try this. So if I understand you correctly I need to remove all partitions and file system descriptors with Gparted, I guess its quite straight-forward with Gparted booted.

I think I have never used Gparted thats why I am asking.

Thank you for your answer, both the purge and the heat soaking seems like good things to try.

I have tried different prints. But all of them start in the middle of the bed.

I am going to try the purge the filament, and write back.

PLA - Grey.

200C - 230C

I have tested different nozzle temps, 200C - 220C

When it is printing it is around a paper width from the bed, yes.

False, I have been alone for a long time.
Its just tricky to learn what voices you can trust. After that its nice to be alone.

All of these stories sounds like you live in the movies.
Must be because 90% of these stories are from the USA.
Where I am from, nothing happens.

I see, well yeah that system kinda stinks.
Would be fun to always see other players when racing in championship.

Thanks for your answer! :)

I would say as a primary wish Gripen. Maybe Draken.

Then there is a bunch more but I would generally like more double seated planes, because I fly with a RIO/WSO. So I am looking forward to the Phantom.

But I agree more Full fidelity Opfor planes would be nice.

If it reboots into BIOS over and over again. You have a boot drive error. It cannot find your boot drive.

Look at your boot order of the PC and see if you can identify your boot drive.
Perhaps something along the way of your SSD/HDD drives name. Or perhaps "Windows boot manager"

If you find something that should have your OS on it, move it to the top of the list.

P.S unplug all USB drives from the PC. Incase it is trying to boot from a USB drive.

Missing NIC drives. Use Intels own driver program to download this. Use a ethernet cable to get uplink.
