Five drives available but not listed for new pool

Installation
1

Hi all, first post here, so thanks in advance for any help I can get.
Just moved away from TrueNAS, so I may be getting confused here, so please bear with me!

I have an Intel based PC with a mSATA boot drive plus five 2Tb drives I intend to use for data.
I can see the disks listed in the “Sorage/Disks” section, but when I go to “Storage/Pools” I can see the exisiting ROOT pool, but when I select “Create Pool” there are no drives available:

I have just installed downloaded ISO version “Leap15.4-generic.x86_64-4.5.8-0” and updated to “5.14.21-150400.24.46-default” and the disks were visible prvious to this.
Can anyone tell me what I am missing please?
Many thanks
Steve

OK, please ignore - I did say I was new to this :slight_smile:

Problem found - all five disks are marked as “unuseable - an exisiting btrfs partition exists” or something like that. I didn’t realise I had created a pool earlier.
I really must learn to look more closely.

Thanks anyway.
Steve

Thanks Dan, I do seem to have a knack for missing the obvious sometimes :upside_down_face:
