How do I get xfs on arm64? Found that I think. Strangename.
How do I restart this from square one? I have called fdisk on all 4
drives, typed g, then w so an empty GPT partition table has now been
written to each of the first 4 drives. Apparently even that is too much,
disks still locked or mounted when the aren't.
And that does not release the drives for reconfiguration.
zfs is not available under that name on armbian w/o a separate install
but apt isn't finding it to install it. Turns out its not zfs but xfs.
My bad. But the disks are still allocated, so I'm zeroing the whole
3.76TiB disk. Several hours a disk wasted. pvremove, pvresize refuses
to work on a partitioned disk. Like painting onself into a corner.
Testing my patience. Thanks to all trying to help.
Cheers, Gene Heskett, CET.
