Ever since upgrading to Goldeye, I have been getting over temperature alerts non-stop. The reason for this is my boot-pool drives run very hot - they always have like 50-56 or so degrees. I can’t find a way to change the temperature threshold on these disks. None of the suggestions online seem to apply to Goldeye. Is there some way I can either change the temperature threshold on the boot-pool mirror or turn off temperature notification for these drives? This is really annoying - I’m getting 40 or 50 emails a day and am at my whit’s end. Thanks in advance.
Can’t change the threshhold, only turn off the alert. But as far as i can remember, it turns of the alarm for all disks and you can’t choose to disable it for only your boot disks.
As an alternative solution, maybe add a filter to your email software if possible?
Any specific reason for running that hot? The boot pool doesn’t do much?
Also, if you can live with a short downtime and regularly export your configuration, you could just us one disk as the boot pool.
Thanks folks for replying. They are 2.5” 10K drives and are in a R720XD Dell Power Edge server. I’m quite certain unless this server was used with serious air conditioning they have always run this hot. They have for me for six or eight years. They are located in the back end of the server so they get hot air from the server to cool them, plus being 10K drives they just run hotter than the 7200 RPM 4TB drives in the front getting fresh air.
I just went to Alert Settings>Category>Hardware>”Disk Temperature Is Too Hot”>Set Frequency>Never and hope that does it. I don’t particularly like the fact that I have to shut off warnings entirely. I can rely on daily MultiReport emails, but it would be nice if one could set the threshold temperature per drive. Online there were references to past TrueNAS Scale versions that were editable by drive through SMART data settings, or globally by setting all warnings to a higher temperature which isn’t much better than my current solution. Using one drive is no better if memory serves…
Sounds like a feature request to me… What does anyone else think?
As far as i can remember, with the removal of the buildin smart gui that option also got removed, and a previous feature request to bring the smart gui back (with the most votes ever) got rejected…
With the most votes ever, in the shortest amount of time ever, got rejected more quickly than ever. Conclude what you will about how interested iX actually are in user feedback.

Yeah dan, that sounds disappointing. Maybe if we all raise a stink again???
There’s a famous apocryphal quote about doing the same thing again and again while hoping for a different outcome…

Yes, I know that would make me the literal definition of crazy… But sometimes organized resistance has a positive outcome.
