Hello All,
Just trying to get into FreeNAS for the first time and am pretty illiterate with the FreeBSD aspect of things. I am having a problem with FreeNAS seeing all 4 drives that I am trying to setup in a RAID 10 on a Highpoint 2720SGL card. The drives that are being utilized are 600GB 15k SAS drives. The 2720's BIOs will see all 4 drives, they can be placed into an array or JBOD without issue. FreeNAS will see 3/4 of the drives without issue (same disks fails to be recognized every time). I have attempted utilizing different cables/backplanes with no change in status. Is there something I can do to manually initialize the disk? What log files can give me some hints about what might be failing? Do you feel that this is likely an issue with FreeNAS or just a DOA disk?
