Some disks show up in 'View Disks' when they are actually Multipaths

2 X DNS-1600
48 X 4TB (24 WD + 24 HGST) NearLine SAS-2

Putting on a new shelf/JBOD with 24 new disks and check that the LSI has dualpath to all disks.

FreeNAS is creating 24 new multipath disk - all OK.. But 2 of the 24 disks ( /dev/daxx ) is *also* showing up in 'View Disks'.

We have seen this before, where the 'solution' was the following:

- sysctl kern.geom.debugflags=0×10
- dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/daxx bs=512 count=1
- In the GUI choose to 'Wipe' the disk(s) showing both as a single disk *AND* part of a multipath.
- Reboot FreeNAS

However, this method still gets us the disks in 'View Disks' as if they are singlepath-disks.

Does anyone have a workarround for this or should we just ignore as they seem to be part of a working multipath?
