the following disk shows as "pool" in unassigned devices and I can't zero or format the drive

the drive was purchased used off ebay and no data is need off of it

from what I gather LVM is some type of logical volume manager, which I dont understand.
Is there a command line I can use to remove said lvm suff and get this drive usable in unraid?

 

sdag               66:0    0  14.6T  0 disk 
└─vg_0061-lv_0061 254:0    0  14.6T  0 lvm  

PS this is a SAS drive, so hooking it up to a windows macine to resolve like simular post is not an option

 

thanks for your help

Have you enabled destructive mode in unassigned devices settings? After enabling you should be able to remove any file systems/partitions on the disk.

yes, destructive mode is active, it does not help

Hmm, ok.

 

Maybe the steps at https://www.2daygeek.com/how-to-delete-remove-lvm-logical-volume-in-linux/   will do the trick, the commands should be available at unraid as well.
