Does not show SSD pool

[wim]

Hexos asked if i wanted to creat a pool from 2 different SSD's one 240 GB en the other 256 GB . It looked like it would work. 

Now it,s not seeing the drives at all in hexos or the pool.

Is it a priority to have 2 drives exactly the same ? Or what did I do wrong?

Sow I,m a newby but so far it's really easy to use 😁 happy with the investment of hexos.

I had issues with and SSD pool as well, what I had to do was log into the treunas side and go to drives, then wipe the ssds in the gui, then create the pool in truenas, it then showed in HexOS.

I think this was due to not being wiped with a lvm locked partition on them prior.  BUT I did discover 3 of my 7 SSDs had really bad smart reading and just failed during all this. So take what I said as a may work but my set up had issues.

Hi @wim The Hardware & Storage requirements show you're configuration is supported (assuming you have a 3rd drive for the OS). Not to be funny, but have you tried rebooting and/or shutting down and reseating the drives? Any other details or steps you've taken? Good luck!

Hi Dylan good question i did restart it several times with no result 
I have 3 drives in the system

boot drive is an old 320 gb hard drive true sata 

2 SSD's one true sata and the other one PCI slot with a nvme drive

Hey there. I just noticed your reply. How goes it?

[wim]

So I now have 2 SSDs that show up after I reinstalled hexos, but now it doesn't want to create a pool, I think because the disks aren't empty.

Then I wanted to log in to treunas via the link from the settings tab, but it doesn't want to accept my credentials.

Because I didn't have any free time anymore I didn't get any further, I'll start working on it again soon

Do you have a tip on how I can get into treunas the easiest way?

fixed the problem @HomeHosted was right i had to wipe the drives in Truenas.

to login in Truenas you have to use the default username "truenas_admin" that i did not now.

it would be a great idea to put a wipe function in hexos when you create a pool in the storage tab.

thanks for the support.
