A couple of months ago I suffered a power supply issue that caused multiple drives in my zfs-2 pool to start throwing errors. I subsequently replaced the power supply and purchased a new set of (larger) HDDs, one by one installing them while each new one was resilvered. At the end of the process I had a larger capacity pool along with brand new drives and new power supply. I cleared the literally hundreds of alerts that had been generated during the episode.
Within a week, I started getting email alerts that the pool was degraded because of a bad drive, but about one minute later another email came in that the error had been cleared. Another time the message would be that smartd was not running, a minute later another email that it been cleared. Etc. etc. etc. These were all alerts that had been triggered previously with the old HDDs, many alerts even referenced specific hard drive ID numbers that no longer exist. The most troubling part is that logging into the GUI, no alerts are shown, none active, none cleared.
So this doesn't seem have a functional significance, but it's become a major irritation. Some days I receive a dozen of these emails, and my concern is that I have started to disregard them so that sooner or later when a REAL alert comes in I may not notice it. I have searched the forums and found only a couple of threads of how to completely delete the alert history, which is apparently kept in a database file of some sort. But the process seems to be very geeky and perhaps not without risk. Advice? This is happening in TrueNAS-13.0-U6.1.
