executing SMART test on demand?

Post by Southcross »

I think I remember a way in the GUI to do it with the old FreeNAS (0.7.x), how can you execute a SMART self test (Long) without creating a CRON job for it in the SMART tab?

Those smart test are mostly meaningless. They will report a drive to be OK long after I would consider the drive to be unusable. Analysing the raw data is much more useful.

I've had drives that SMART showed "OK" all the way up until the click-of-death started... LOL, I'm not trusting it as some long-term anti-failure feature, I just want to check the firmware "health" of these drives
