Fowto set correct device for smartctl

[Norbert Irmer]

Hello,

I have the problem, that after booting FreeNas, I see 4 smartctl processes running with 100% wcpu, eg.:

smartctl -i -d areca,14 /dev/arcmsr0

This is wrong, I have an areca 1882x raid adapter, this is a SAS controller, not SATA. A correct command line is
for example:

smartctl -i -d areca 1/2 /dev/arcmsr0 (slot #1, encasement #2)

If I kill the running smartctl processes with wrong parameters, and enter the above command line,
I get the SMART infos, otherwise the command hangs.

I am using an areca 1882xx raid adapter with latest bios V1.56 2019-07-30 in JBOD mode. Passthrough mode seems to
be Ok now with areca cards and latest bios, only the smartctl command is wrong.

I need help, how can I set the correct device settings for smartctl ?

Thanks,
Norbert

I added for each disk a "S.M.A.R.T. extra options", like "-d areca,1/2" for disk "da0", but this doesn't help, I still have 4 smartctl processes with wrong device parameter running, eating 100% cpu.
