Gave this a shot, had to boot up SPP 8.1 to get bash shell, no go though. Via SSA, the controller does show as Mixed Mode, so the drives should be visible to OS but SSA also shows all drives as failed. Will just wait to swap the cables from the controller to the mobo.

so previous hpe controllers still havenyt supported 4kn drives. this may be the issue. im not sure about your controller. if the controller doesnt support 4kn then it cant touch 520 or 528 bps because the base on those drives is 4kn. quickspecs dont mention anything about 4kn... https://www.hpe.com/psnow/doc/a00047736enw.pdf?jumpid=in_pdp-psnow-qs

if it does support make sure u are booting UEFI not legacy.

on latest firmware? HPE Support Center
Version: 5.00(B) (6 May 2022)

Yup, latest version and yes, booting UEFI. I will see if I can find a definite answer regarding 4k support.

seems like the controller is acting like an lsi card would with jbod mode. ill see if i can try my 3108 lsi card in jbod mode and format a 520 drive. cant promise when ill run this test.

so i grabbed a few drives that were 512 bps and they are formatting fine to 520 with sg tools in windows. also drives are showing all information in hd sentinel. so acting just like an hba.

maybe a driver issue as well since ur using linux? usually the driver should change when in jbod.

in device manager my 9361-8i changes from that in raid mode to - Avago SDS sas 9A61-8i. totally diff driver.

Yeah, no go here. I installed Windows and still can't get the drives to show. Last ditch effort I am going to scoop an HP H220 HBA and try that way. Hopefully they'll pass through and reformatting to 512b via that will allow them to show via the P408i so I can get them into a RAID array.

so looks like jbod only likes 4k or 512 at least for lsi as well. once formatted to 520 all the drives show up as unsupported and wont pass any info to the os. hdsentinel no longer can grab any smart info. pic attached.

my guess is once u have drives formatted to 4k or 512 they will pass through. unless u want to use a raid then no need :)

in your case 4kn would be your best bet if the controller supports.

Trying and failing to reformat 2 HUH728080AL5201 (HGST Ultrastar He8) to actual 512. They seem to have protection enabled so they are showing lower than normal capacity. I have multiple of this model and the rest are showing 8TB (in base 10) on the nose (more or less). 8001563222016 vs 7865536647168
I've done a few passes of sg_format, with and without the "no disk level protection/extra bits" flags, such as " sg_format -v --format --fmtpinfo=0 --pfu=0 --size=512". Tried power cycling the machine just in case, still no change.

They were in use "as is" and function fine, but it bothers me :)

@Mithril

my recollection is (1) get rid of the protection (2) I formatted to 4k blocks then I saw the correct size... I use 4K blocks. its possible that taking it back down to 512 at that point will report the correct size then again... long wait time for the experiment to complete though.

I also recall a post somewhere - so let me look.

Formatting to 4k did the trick! Not sure if that would have worked as the first step or if it was a combo of steps, but regardless all drives now show 8,001,563,222,016 :D

Any wisdom or guidance on formatting a 4kn SATA drive to 512? I have 4x HGST HUH721010ALN600 10TB SATA 4Kn drives (from GoHardDrive on ebay), and am struggling to get them formatted to 512. I've tried the WD HUGO tool, sg utils, hdparm, and none have been successful, all failing.

I need these formatted to 512 to pass them through as RDM disks on one of my ESXi hosts, and long term, I want to get more of these if I can find a successful formatting method so that I can extend my TrueNAS backup pool that has 512 formatted shucked Easystores, and not have mixed formats if I can help it. Otherwise, I'll need to source some different drives.

@eptesicus some additional information may be useful while trying to help you. can you provide full smartctl -a output and a full pic of a label for an example drive that is giving you difficulties?

edit
also the specific commands you have tried and the corresponding error output

One thing that may kinda work is putting one of the drives in the easystore enclosure and using the wd utility to format for 'xp compatibility' and then back. This supposedly activates/deactivates the 4k/512k of the drive installed, but I'm not sure if it will behave this way outside of the enclosure, also it may not even work with the drive as an HGST didn't work, whereas a WD black did (only used in the enclosure though).

One thing that may kinda work is putting one of the drives in the easystore enclosure and using the wd utility to format for 'xp compatibility' and then back. This supposedly activates/deactivates the 4k/512k of the drive installed, but I'm not sure if it will behave this way outside of the enclosure, also it may not even work with the drive as an HGST didn't work, whereas a WD black did (only used in the enclosure though).

I connected the disk to the board in the Easystore enclosure, but the system wouldn't see the drives for me.

Any wisdom or guidance on formatting a 4kn SATA drive to 512?
Click to expand...
edit Sorry posted before I was ready.


I had to read up as my memory has been failing of late and I wanted to get a source link for your drive part #

Its 4kn without 512e support. part # 0f27607 (source)

4k n as in native. that can't be changed. 512e e as in emulation. fakes out the host os to think the drive has 512 byte blocks.

you can't low level format it down to physical 512 byte blocks.

Even if it supported 512e you still would not be able to force a low level format to 512 and I don't think the firmware would fake those commands back to the OS.

Thanks for the findings and information. That's certainly disheartening. The price and warranty for these refurbished was hard to pass up, but I can understand now why they're priced how they are. I'll have to figure something else out.

FWIW have you looked at the use case of your data and whether using 4k blocks would be that bad? (nb: I'm biased as I use 4k blocks on all my big disks). Are you in a position to reblock your 512 byte sector disks (and do they support it)?

I'm no expert here on the finer mechanics of tuning up the filesystem however the truenas forums have some guidance:

Replacing 4Kn disks

I have an array of 6*12TB Seagate Exos drivers in 3* Mirrored vdevs. Before building the array I specifically formatted the drives using seagate tools to 4Kn I have bought as spares some 12TB Toshiba N300 drives in case I lose one of the Seagates. These are default formatted, presumably 512e...
www.truenas.com

Ashift=12 and 4Kn

I have been doing a lot of reading in an attempt to understand 4Kn, 512e and ashift=12 I have a bunch of disks (Seagate Exos 12TB) that are 512/4096 logical / physical. They are in an existing pool with ashift=12 smartctl -i /dev/ada4 shows up as Sector Sizes: 512 bytes logical, 4096 bytes...
www.truenas.com

Disk Format (4K/512) & Cold Spare Disks

I think I have made a mistake and have only just realised. I think to fix it will involve rebuilding my main 4 * Mirrored 12TB disk pool. Annoying, but not a disaster. What's rather more annoying is that I have just done exactly this (rebuilt the pool), following my recent cockup The pool is...
