Resolve TrueNAS Duplicate Disk Serial
Budget: ₹1,500 – ₹12,500 INR
I’m running TrueNAS inside a Hyper-V VM with several passthrough hard drives. The system imported an existing pool without complaint, but the moment I try to create a new pool—or add a cache or extra vdev—I get
Error: topology
Disks have duplicate serial numbers: None (sda, sdb …)
I already spent time troubleshooting yet the problem persists, so I’m ready for expert help via AnyDesk.
Here’s what I need from you:
• Identify and fix the duplicate-serial issue so TrueNAS accepts new pools or vdevs immediately.
• Explain, in plain CLI commands, how I can add further drives or build additional pools later without triggering the same error. I should be able to copy-paste your commands the next time I expand storage.
• Work must be performed live while I’m connected, so I can observe and learn.
Environment highlights: TrueNAS running as a guest on Hyper-V; drives passed through directly.
Once the fix is confirmed and the commands are documented, the job is complete.
