Cannot create Raid1 Pool - Magic not working

Troubleshooting

Hey everyone,

After setting up Rockstor on an older machine I finally came to a point where I could set up the pools. Disks are detected fine, they have different serial numbers and have the same size, however, when creating a Raid1 pool I get following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

I already tried formatting the disks, but that made no difference. Any suggestions?

Sincerly

quick question, how did you format/wipe the disks?

I used the build-in functionality in Rockstor. When you go into each disk you can wipe it there.
