I can see some old posts from Cyberjock where he's had problems with Areca cards
e.g. https://www.ixsystems.com/community...single-lun-for-all-pass-through-drives.20048/
However, it seems it's now possible to get smartctl to read the areca data correctly nowddays, see below
Just wondering if anyone had more recent success. I'm not sure if it's possible to make ZFS aware of the smartctl data somehow? Just because I can see it I can't assume ZFS can. And maybe there's more to the story than just that
Is Cyberjock still around?
Hope this isn't too offensive but I may not end up using freenas on this one, but proxmox. But wanted to ask here as suspect you all have better ZFS knowledge. Just in case that makes a difference.
That said, will test it out for certain.
