Apologizes if this has already been answered somewhere, but all my searching lead to people using USB enclosures/wrong HBA. Which isn't my case.
When I first plugged in my enclosure, I didn't have any new 3.5 SAS drives to test with (it will only take SAS, not SATA drives) so I went to my IT-cemetary and found a surprise stash of IBM X-Server 3TB drives. I started plugging them in, at first in pairs to build/test an expanding pool of mirrors. Worked fine for the first 6, then the UI started not detecting drives right away.
At the moment I have 8 disks in a working pool, and I have 3 left. Only one of those three actual shows up in the UI. The other two do show up in the CLI using camcontrol devlist. They do show up with smartctl-a /dev/da22. But the UI does not seem them in the DISK screen at all, let alone permit them to be added to the pool.
Is there any "filter" in the UI, in the sense of "only consider disks that has X and don't have Y"?
TrueNAS Core-13.0-U2
Dell PowerEdge R730XD with HBA330
2 x Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2680 v4
768GB ECC RAM
Pools (still testing and trying things):
One mirrored 2 x cheap 120GB SSD drives for boot
One mirrored 2 x 4TB SSD
One Mirrored/stripped 4 x 7200k + one spare, 2 x Intel S3700 as SLOG devices, one cheap SSD as L2ARC cache.
External SAS enclosure (MD1400) connected via a LSI9300-4i4e - only one SAS3 cable to the enclosure at the moment
Bunch of SAS2 drives
