March 27, 20206 yr Hey all, I have a whole bunch of decommissioned IBM SAS HDD (hitachi & seagate) which are 100% known working. I am using a LSI 9201 flashed with 2008IT firmware. Cables are replaced and new. Quote mpt2sas_cm0: LSISAS2008: FWVersion(20.00.07.00), ChipRevision(0x03), BiosVersion(07.39.02.00) Now, I have started to introduce them into my system to replace my smaller SATA drives, but seem to be getting a Write errors / IO errors after an erase and pre-clear Quote print_req_error: critical target error, dev sdg, sector 1088 I had manually set in sdparm the WCE to 1, yet still nothing. Drive will halt with read/write errors when added as the parity drive Quote /dev/sdg: IBM-XIV ST4000NM0043 C1 EC5C WCE 1 [cha: y, def: 0, sav: 1] I also cannot run any SMART diagnostics on the Drive This is completely racking my brain, any help or ideas will be greatly appreciated.

March 28, 20206 yr Author As an update, The IBM drive works absolutely fine as a formatted XFS Share in Unassigned drives via SMB shares. May this be due to mixed SATA and SAS on the 9201 Controller??

That's not a problem, but IIRC this is: Formatted with type 2 protection 8 bytes of protection information per logical block If you google that you you'll find how to remove it.
March 28, 20206 yr Author Thanks! I had a feeling being enterprise this may be an issue. Off to google I go!

Sometimes the simple things you miss. a quick SG_format to remove the protection has worked and now underway of rebuilding my array. Thanks Johnnie
