I recently built a new server and have three Supermicro CSE-M35T-1B drive cages and two Supermicro AOC-SASLP-MV8 cards. The issue seems to be with one drive in one slot, no matter what I do. I've gotten the same error with different drives and changed out cables. The only thing I haven't swapped out is the SAS card. No matter what I do, /dev/md7 will not format. I have run a preclear on all drives before trying to format, however, I get the following when I try:

Oct 12 12:34:01 ZEUS logger: advice then if you have just a few bad blocks, try writing to the

Oct 12 12:34:01 ZEUS logger: it takes a block it has in reserve and allocates it for use for
