F5-221 Cannot delete storage pool

Post by mrdarkdragone »

Have a F5-221 that whenever I try and delete a second storage pool it just comes right back. The storage pool has no drives in it so it shows a raid error.

Originally I had 4 500GB configured in Raid 6 giving me about 925gb of space and a fifth drive as a 120gb ssd for applications. I wanted to try and use the ssd as a cache for the raid 6 so I deleted the ssd storage pool but after selecting the ssd to cache for the storage pool the tnas went back to the initial setup page. When I tried to resetup the device I could only see the 120gb ssd. I ended up selecting that and created a single disk. Once tnas was setup again I found the raid6 but it had a error about the ssd cache and it would not go away. I tried deleting the storage pool but either it was greyed out or was doing the same thing where it would delete but then come right back. I took out all of the drives and cleaned them with diskpart in windows. I also replaced two of the drives with some 1tb ones. My plan there was to put them in a raid 0+1 however tnas didn't seem to want to do this. So I went for jbod. Now though I still see the raid 6 in the list and it still wont let me delete it. I've even tried a factory reset but it seems to do the same thing as the delete where it goes through like its going to reset but then doesn't.

do you have the possibility (with an adapter) to connect the ssd and the Harddrives to a Pc or Laptop and format them quickly?
Let me tell you that is better to create Raid5 because youve finally more space to save data. And you can have 1 HDD failure without loosing data
