Hello
So, I just found out that most of the drives I have don’t seem to support SMART Error Log.
The way I found out, is that after some scheduled SMART testing, and looking at the “S.M.A.R.T. Test Results” for the pool, it looked a bit light, and I then verified that all my drives from the one specific vendor was not showing up in the list.
After checking via CLI and “smartctl”, I found that the drives says:
SMART Error Log not supported
SMART Self-test Log not supported
I assume this is an HDD issue, not TrueNAS?
Will this cause any problems for me in the future, as in, will I be notified by any alerts if the smart test fails on a drive during a test?
Would kind of suck if need to manually keep track of this…
