I have just built my first freenas box. Before I put in it production I'm testing some things. I put in some known flaky drives, built up a raidz and loaded it up with data. A manually triggered scrub found the problem and repaired it but I didn't get an email. The GUI showed the problem and put up a yellow blinky light in the corner (says "Alert System - WARNING: The volume TestRaid (ZFS) status is UNKNOWN: One or more devices has experienced an unrecoverable error. An attempt was made to correct the error. Applications are unaffected.Determine if the device needs to be replaced, and clear the errors using 'zpool clear' or replace the device with 'zpool replace'.")
I can go into the root user gui and request a test email and I get that fine. Shouldn't a NAS system scream and shout when it it detects this sort of issue? I'd expect an email. Did I mis-configure something?
Mmm - just a thought: the admin user is set to "admin" (the default) but my email config and testing has been on the "root" user. I wouldn't guess that admin==root but there is no "admin" in the user list. A strange mismatch, that.
Thanks for any help.
