Email bombardment from FreeNAS resilvering a disk

FreeNAS 11.3-U5

Hi, I have a disk with sectors that are failing and that is being resilvered. However, I'm getting absolutely bombarded by emails every 1-2 minutes telling me so.

I have a replacement disk enroute. In the meantime, I'm literally deleting hundreds and hundreds of emails every day.

Is thIs normal or necessary? I would have expected one email for the resilvering operation or at least some throttling such that emails aren't being sent every minute.

Is there a setting that enables throttling or does this behave better in v12? Cheers.

I haven't looked at 11 in such a long time I don't remember where, but there should be some options to set that behavior. There certainly is under 12.

Thank you! Changing the Pool Status Is Not Healthy setting solved the update spam.
