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 ๐Ÿ˜ž

**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)

Solved by y0din! Thank you soo much!

Thanks for all the help ๐Ÿ˜

Can you blame them?

Yes. LLMs don't make anyone not responsible for their output.

If your dumb friend gave you bad advice and you followed it, you are ultimately still responsible for your decisions.

What's your point? "Don't use Linux unless you are a professional user"?

Beginners have to begin somewhere and they need to get info from somewhere.

A lot of Linux UX is still at the level where it doesn't give enough relevant information to a non-technical user in a way that the user can actually make an informed decision. That is the core problem.

Whether users get their wrong information from AI, Stackoverflow, random tutorials, Google, a friend or somewhere else hardly matters.

Take for example a look at the setup process of a Synology NAS. A 10yo can successfully navigate that process, because it's so well done. We need more of that, especially for FOSS stuff.

Too much of Linux is built by engineers for engineers.
