@AFresh1 are you using disks with 520-byte sectors? you may want to reformat them as 512-byte, since it has no benefit with zfs

@lw maybe. I mean, this is the installer creating the partitions, I wonder how I change that.

@AFresh1 i don't know how to do it on freebsd off hand, maybe something with camcontrol. linux apparently has a utility called sg_format which can do it...

@lw Looks like `camcontrol` We'll see how it works.

@lw yay! the camcontrol in that article did fix it. Who needs to understand stuff ​

@AFresh1 we should probably have an easier way to do this, you don't often need it but it's rather unhelpful to require the user to know the SCSI command as a sequence of bytes...

Now I got it partitioned, but screwed up the networking. Now it won't let me re-partition on the next go-around. ​

#FreeBSD

Making progress. Got my main zpool imported and trying to reproduce what I tested working to move VMs to vm-bhyve and instead:
```
GEOM_PART: integrity check failed (zvol/ztank/bhyve/stats/disk0p4, BSD)
```

Is there a nice recommended #FreeBSD daily / weekly / monthly job with things that TrueNAS did? Like regular smart short tests and zfs scrubs?

@AFresh1 wrt smart, actually I did this a few years ago on a customer project if nobody else knows better that's probably sufficient. I'm not up on smartmon tooling, YMMV. I just wait for the zpool scrubs to get angry.
