I initiated a drive wipe in the web interface which displays a progress bar. When exiting out of the web interface the progress bar is no longer there so I have no way of knowing when the wipe is finished. I know it will take a while since I chose the "Full with zeros" method and its a 3TB HDD but after googling around I haven't been able to find a command that will allow me to see the progress. Does anyone know how I can get progress using a command?

The drive is /dev/ada3

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Never used FreeNAS to zero out a drive, but you might be able to see if the wipe task is currently in progress by clicking on the Task Manager icon in the upper-right.
