Did I just brick my SAS drive?
I was trying to make a pool with the other 5 drives and this one kept giving errors. As a completer beginner I turned to gpt.....
What can I do? Is that drive bricked for good?
Don't clown on me, I understand my mistake in running shell scripts from Ai...
EMPTY DRIVES NO DATA
The initial error was:
Edit: sde and SDA are the same drive, name just changed for some reason And also I know it was 100% my fault and preventable ๐
**Edit: ** from LM22, output of sudo sg_format -vv /dev/sda (broken link)
BIG EDIT:
For people that can help (btw, thx a lot), some more relevant info:
Exact drive model: SEAGATE ST4000NM0023 XMGG
HBA model and firmware: lspci | grep -i raid 00:17.0 RAID bus controller: Intel Corporation SATA Controller [RAID mode] Its an LSI card Bought it here
Kernel version / distro: I was using Truenas when I formatted it. Now trouble shooting on other PC got (6.8.0-38-generic), Linux Mint 22
Whether the controller supports DIF/DIX (T10 PI): output of lspci -vv (broken link)
Whether other identical drives still work in the same slot/cable: yes all the other 5 drives worked when i set up a RAIDZ2 and a couple of them are exact same model of HDD
COMMANDS This is what I got for each command: (broken link)

Thanks for all the help ๐
OP, I am sorry that I cannot offer any immediate solution to your issue. However, if I may, pass along a bit of advice I learned long ago, and it has nothing to do with AI. TAKE PROLIFIC NOTES!!! It is tedious, it is work, but it will save your ass in the long run. Write everything down. Don't be lulled into the mindset that you will be able to remember each and every thing you've done to the server, especially when you're breaking new ground in your selfhosting journey. 9 times out of 10, you won't. Then when you are successful with your endeavors, go back, clean up your notes, and store them for future reference.
It doesn't really need to be tedious... My notes are jokey, full of profanity, sarcasm, and self deprecating humor
for context, these are my personal notes for my personal machine. These will never be shared with anyone else, and nobody else has to try to read them or make sense of them (well... sometimes I make chatbot read my notes in order to train it on whatever I need help troubleshooting)
Before I started keeping a hot_log.txt file every single install of Linux I ever ran was a unique snowflake and no two systems were ever the same
I meant tedious, as in, it takes some effort to pause, write the shit down, and then proceed on. I can only speak for myself, but when I'm in the zone doing something, excitement can overshadow note taking. So, I have to make myself document line by line. But, yeah I have entries like 'Before proceeding, make sure you do _____ , dumbass!' LOL
I very much wish I'd done this. I'm very happy with my system but it'll be a slog if and when I need to set it up again.
