SCSI sense: HARDWARE FAILURE

[Elliott]

I'm running FreeNAS 11.2 U5. I was experimenting to see whether my disks are aligned properly to 4K boundaries.
I have a new disk that I just popped in, and it's not part of a pool yet. I created a partition table with gpart, added some partitions, then deleted it. It was working fine for awhile, but as soon as I destroyed the partitions, the drive is no longer working at all. It even disappeared from camcontrol after doing a rescan.

Code:

root@freenas[~]# gpart destroy -F da22     
da22 destroyed
root@freenas[~]# gpart create -s GPT da22  
gpart: provider: Operation not supported by device

root@freenas[~]# camcontrol inquiry da22
root@freenas[~]# camcontrol identify da22
camcontrol: ATA ATAPI_IDENTIFY via pass_16 failed
root@freenas[~]# camcontrol rescan all
root@freenas[~]# camcontrol devlist | grep da22

This appeared in dmesg right after I destroyed the partitions:

Code:

The disk comes back if I remove it and then put it back, but similar errors start happening soon after. Is it possible that gpart destroy damaged this disk? Or maybe it was just a coincidence that the disk was defective.
