sesutil is missing from truenas scale dragon fish.
How am I supposed to locate a drive on my supermicro 36 bay server ?
Has it been replaced with something better ?
I see here and there people looking for their serial numbers but this is not a serious solution, nor is the one that makes drives blink agressively using dd.
Please help I’m out of words and ideas…
Short answer, unless someone has a better way.
- enable dev mode (to enable apt) : install-dev-tools
- apt update
- apt install ledmon
- ledmon locate=/dev/sdaX (failed drive)
It’ a shame I had to do all this. Seriously ix-system what the hell are you thinking ?

The short answer is to put in a feature request.
The longer answer might be to run it in a systemd-nspawn container with /dev/sdaX bound. TrueNAS is an appliance, so package management tools are disabled by default.
Or, in the case of ledctl specifically, just download the bookworm deb, extract it, and sftp the binary files to your machine. They are portable.
