Low level format worked.

Didn't find it on the forum, but I'm trying a format: root@ACME-TOWER:~# sg_format --format --fmtpinfo=0 /dev/sdc IBM-D050 ST8000NM0065 BCE6 peripheral_type: disk [0x0] << supports protection information>> Unit serial number: ZA1FN9Z30000C9522C3Q LU name: 5000c500ae380267 Mode Sense (block descriptor) data, prior to changes: Number of blocks=1953506646 [0x74702556] Block size=4096 [0x1000] Taking forever... Will report back. Thanks for that feedback! Got me on track, I think!

First off, I'm a complete noob and have no idea what I'm doing, and I'm also on the trial license at the moment. I have a Dell R710 with an H200 LSI card, with 3x 8TB Seagate SAS drives. All 3 drives pass the diagnostics in the Dell tools... And they seem to pass the diagnostics from within Unraid (still running the extended tests, taking forever). I wish to use 2 as data, and 1 as parity. When I attempt to assign them, they fall out of the unassigned list, but are also not in fact assigned to the pool. Let me know if I need to collect more data regarding the issue. Thanks! acme-tower-diagnostics-20221209-1109.zip
