How can I hightlight and copy from the "View Disks" screen

[tweiner]

I can not seem to copy from the "View Disks" Screen among others. I would like to copy ie. the Serial # of a disk drive to paste in a document. I am using firefox on a Windows 7 machine.

Just want to highlight, Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V

What am I doing wrong?

You can grab the serial numbers from a terminal using smartctl: smartctl -a /dev/adaX

Replace X with the device ID.

Thanks. But is there any way to capture/copy the table from the web interface.

I made a script to list and map the serial numbers to GPTIDs (and device labels), see the "Useful Scripts" link in my signature if you're interested ;)

If it was wasn't clear, no one knows how to copy the table. Hence the scripts.

And nobody wants to mess with it for 9.x, so we're stuck with it.

If you really feel this doesn't suit you, file a feature request for FreeNAS 10 to raise awareness.

From the GUI? Select the disk, hit edit, copy serial number from text box.
