Can't initialize some SAS HDDs on LSI 9207-8i
It was the 520 byte vs 512 byte sector thing.
I used sg3utils to change format the drives as 512 byte sectors:
sg_scan
^ gives the drive IDs (PDX)
sg_format --format --size 512 PDX
^ replace PDX with actual ID, this formats the drive. all data will be wiped and it'll take multiple hours, even 1TB drives seem to take ~4-5 hours.
