I recently attempted to set up a freeNAS server and ran into problems creating the ZFS pool. My server was unable to format them to GPT or wipe them from the WebGUI. I then proceeded to investigate using the CLI. Using the command "geom disk list" I was able to determine my drives are set up with a 520 byte sector size. This appears to be the issue, as I was able to issue "dd" commands only when I set bs=520 or some multiple of 520.
I found a utility that runs on Linux called sg_utils. The problem with this solution for me is that due to my current hardware setup, I haven't figured out how to get a linux installation to detect the drives.
I am running a Supermicro X9DRi-LN4F+ motherboard, 96GB of 1066Mhz ECC RAM, two Xeon E5-2670's, eight Seagate Constellation ES 2TB SAS 6GB/s drives, and a Dell PERC h310 flashed with LSI 9211i8i firmware in IT mode. Is there a solution that runs natively on a freeBSD platform? Does anyone have experience getting such a card to work on Linux?
I am relatively new to this field, so any help is much appreciated.
