Yes that is normal. You run smartctl with the -t option to run the test and then, if you want to check the output of the test, you run it with the -a option.

I tried
It said I needed to use the -d option to specify a device?
Anyway I've started the long tests now so when I get up in the morning they will be done but it'd be good if I was able to check results before I move onto the tmux I/O testing. (Obviously I'd like to start that in the morning as well, due to the time it takes...)
smartctl -a /dev/ada1 and it came up with an error re syntax, as it did with any of my other disks too.It said I needed to use the -d option to specify a device?

That's weird, last time I used it I did not get any error that I can remember (version 9.3).

Are your drives detected as "ada"? Mine show up as "da" (da0, da1, da2, etc). Check under [Storage] - [View Disks] to see what they are listed as.

Version 9.10
Definitely ada1 through to ada6
OK tried again via GUI shell and would appreciate greatly if someone could assist me in interpreting the results (below).
It's worth noting that ada1 ada2 and ada3 are newly purchased disks, while ada4 ada5 and ada6 came from the synology NAS I had. (which hadn't been intensively used, but which had failed in a permanent kind of a way)
My (amateur) assaumption is that ada1-3 are fine
ada4 is completely buggered and ada5 and ada6 are somewhat stuffed.
Is there any point in doing full I/O (tmux) testing on all these disks?
Thank you, in advance, for any assistance you can offer !

Please note I have done more investigation and rephrased this to make it an easy-to-answer (I hope) question :)
Edit: Having re-read "Fester's Guide" in the wiki (excellent by the way) and looking at stats for lines 1, 5, 7, 19, 11 and 196-199 (as specified in that document) it appears to me that:
ada1, 2, 3, 5, 6 - OK
ada4 - not OK. The stats are zero for the important ones other than the Raw-Read-Error-Rate which really is "up there" at a staggering 9293 !
Can someone confirm for me that this assessment is correct please? Would it be worth testing ada4 with any other tests or re-testing with smartctl or is it a case of ditching this drive?
Thanks

It's probably worth repeating the long test. And if this is passed, check whether the Raw-Read-Error-Rate is growing.
It
It's worth trying the cable in case the fault is intermittent, but if the long test is ok and the error rate is not increasing then I would have thought you could afford to keep the drive. Just do short SMART tests every few days and long ones every week or two and occasionally check the "raw=-error" rate that was high. Could the errors have occurred while the drive was in the old NAS? If so they might be due to a poor connection or an error when the drive was new that has not worsened.

I think it's extremely likely that an error occurred with the drive when it was in the old NAS.
The reason behind my previous questions is that I'm new at this stuff and SMART testing, but you people are helping me learn which is great. :)
My confusion stems from the fact that I'm not sure what those potential error sources actually MEAN and in this case what effect they have in the real world. I'd simply read that those particular errors should have a raw rate of ZERO whereas 9,000+ appears to me to be significantly not good. :)
Also another quick burn in Q. The process recommends long SMART followed by I/O (tmux) followed by long SMART. Why the first run of SMART if it is to be run later anyway?
AFAICS the only purpose of the long test before is to save the bother of doing the burn-in if the drive is already defective. On your present findings I think it would be reasonable to go ahead with the badblocks on ada4 in the hope it will now prove stable.

Many many thanks for this How To from a FreeNAS noob. Excellent to feel like I'm doing the right thing before I start with setting up my new box.
My badblocks tests are running in tmux on my 4 x 3TB disks as I write. Just thought I'd mention that I'm getting this info for each of the sessions:
"inappropriate ioctl"? Can anyone explain?
