Mixing disks of different sizes in a VDEV is not allowed - But they are the same size?

Just updated to 11.3

Not sure what to do here lol

What are the exact model numbers of the disks involved?

They are P3700 800GB Intel SSD OP to 100GB...so I took them out and re-ran the OP command to 100gb like I did before...but before hand took note of the size..they were out by 1000bytes....very odd!

Same problem here. 5 drives - identical models, but unable to create any VDEV. I'm new to FreeNAS, but previously I have used these exact same drives successfully in Raid-Z configuration (on Nas4Free). The existing old pool was successfully imported, but I have decided to get rid of it (I have data backups) an create a new one.. but now I'm stuck.
I tried to use shell command to create the pool, which went well and when I enter "zpool status", it's online, no errors. But in Storage > Pools GUI menu there's no Pool and disks are available to create a new pool. Rebooting made no difference.
Confused. :( Am I missing something important here?

Import the newly created pool with GUI.

Import the newly created pool with GUI.

Thanks, tried even that before, but the GUI shows no pool to import.

You first need to export it at the CLI, then you can import it with the GUI.
