5GiB should be enough

I could. I was just doing testing of the system. How would you recommend I proceed for testing purposing. Some larger minimum size you recommend, 10 GB? Or should I use sparse disk files?
Thanks for the extreme prompt response, the truenas core platform is truly a gem - I look forward to migrating out manual, cmd line, ubuntu processes to this!

Can you try bigger disks?

I have installed TrueNAS 12.0 on 64 bit FreeBSD within virtual box. Below is the VM setup. Note that the 4 disks in the LsiLogic controller of the VM are pass through of unformatted partitions ( https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch09.html#rawdisk ) and there are no access issues per se, as will be described below.
The web application looks great and is running. But when I try to create a zpool I get the following error
Then I went to the disk tools to try to replicate this appearant very basic dd wipe disk command that should not be failing and saw this ...
Then I said ... that command should not be failing. In fact the full zeros and random data options to wipe the disk work just fine. It was specifically this
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/da0 bs=1M count=32
So ... I went to the console and saw that indeed that command was failing with bs=1M vs bs=512; that was based on looking at the block size of the disk. I am not really an expert in this area of dd tool usage and certainly not the perticulars of this on BSD. I suspect that if the quick wipe would pass the zpool creating would function ok though.
