Oops, I forgot about this post as I didn't have notifications on it... I swapped SAS connector on my HBA and it worked fine. I assume it's an issue with that.

I have purchased 2 used Exos 7E8 drives and an LSI 9211-8i HBA in IT Mode. I have precleared them, with no apparent issues but when I try to format and mount into the array, I get a size X of data subvolume is too small, minimum 4096 blocks. If I temporarily create a new pool and set the FS to XFS, they seem to format & mount fine. My process was: Pre-cleare drive Stop array Assign to Disk2 Set file system to XFS. Start array Check the box and click Format The following are my logs: Jan 6 21:06:09 UnraidServer kernel: mdcmd (40): nocheck pause Jan 6 21:06:10 UnraidServer emhttpd: creating volume: disk2 (xfs) Jan 6 21:06:10 UnraidServer emhttpd: shcmd (2164): /sbin/wipefs -af --lock /dev/md2p1 Jan 6 21:06:10 UnraidServer emhttpd: shcmd (2165): mkfs.xfs -K -f -m crc=1,finobt=1 /dev/md2p1 Jan 6 21:06:10 UnraidServer root: size 4091 of data subvolume is too small, minimum 4096 blocks Jan 6 21:06:10 UnraidServer root: Usage: mkfs.xfs Jan 6 21:06:10 UnraidServer root: /* blocksize */ [-b size=num] Jan 6 21:06:10 UnraidServer root: /* config file */ [-c options=xxx] Jan 6 21:06:10 UnraidServer root: /* metadata */ [-m crc=0|1,finobt=0|1,uuid=xxx,rmapbt=0|1,reflink=0|1, Jan 6 21:06:10 UnraidServer root: inobtcount=0|1,bigtime=0|1,autofsck=xxx, Jan 6 21:06:10 UnraidServer root: metadir=0|1] Jan 6 21:06:10 UnraidServer root: /* quota */ [-m uquota|uqnoenforce,gquota|gqnoenforce, Jan 6 21:06:10 UnraidServer root: pquota|pqnoenforce] Jan 6 21:06:10 UnraidServer root: /* data subvol */ [-d agcount=n,agsize=n,file,name=xxx,size=num, Jan 6 21:06:10 UnraidServer root: (sunit=value,swidth=value|su=num,sw=num|noalign), Jan 6 21:06:10 UnraidServer root: sectsize=num,concurrency=num] Jan 6 21:06:10 UnraidServer root: /* force overwrite */ [-f] Jan 6 21:06:10 UnraidServer root: /* inode size */ [-i perblock=n|size=num,maxpct=n,attr=0|1|2, Jan 6 21:06:10 UnraidServer root: projid32bit=0|1,sparse=0|1,nrext64=0|1, Jan 6 21:06:10 UnraidServer root: exchange=0|1,max_atomic_write=n] Jan 6 21:06:10 UnraidServer root: /* no discard */ [-K] Jan 6 21:06:10 UnraidServer root: /* log subvol */ [-l agnum=n,internal,size=num,logdev=xxx,version=n Jan 6 21:06:10 UnraidServer root: sunit=value|su=num,sectsize=num,lazy-count=0|1, Jan 6 21:06:10 UnraidServer root: concurrency=num] Jan 6 21:06:10 UnraidServer root: /* label */ [-L label (maximum 12 characters)] Jan 6 21:06:10 UnraidServer root: /* naming */ [-n size=num,version=2|ci,ftype=0|1,parent=0|1]] Jan 6 21:06:10 UnraidServer root: /* no-op info only */ [-N] Jan 6 21:06:10 UnraidServer root: /* prototype file */ [-p fname] Jan 6 21:06:10 UnraidServer root: /* populate from directory */ [-p dirname,atime=0|1] Jan 6 21:06:10 UnraidServer root: /* quiet */ [-q] Jan 6 21:06:10 UnraidServer root: /* realtime subvol */ [-r extsize=num,size=num,rtdev=xxx,rgcount=n,rgsize=n, Jan 6 21:06:10 UnraidServer root: concurrency=num,zoned=0|1,start=n,reserved=n] Jan 6 21:06:10 UnraidServer root: /* sectorsize */ [-s size=num] Jan 6 21:06:10 UnraidServer root: /* version */ [-V] Jan 6 21:06:10 UnraidServer root: devicename Jan 6 21:06:10 UnraidServer root: <devicename> is required unless -d name=xxx is given.
