Remove outdated smartd entries?

[Z300M]

smartd is still reporting an unexpected reboot from March. Is there a way I can get rid of this and other outdated messages?

If you're referring to the system alerts in the upper right corner, those are all cleared on reboot.

If you mean the bell icon, that shows "There are no alerts." I'm referring to the regular email reports including high drive temperatures, non-zero Pending_Sector_Count, etc.

And I have replaced a drive by one that had previously shown errors but has been "cleaned up" by writing zeroes to it and now shows no uncorrectable errors (using smartctl), but the emailed smartd reports still show that drive with its previous bad sector count.

Can you provide a sample of this e-mail report? It would help me to locate the relevant code in the middleware that generates this report.

/dev/da7 is the drive that has been "fixed" and

smartctl -x /dev/da7

now shows no errors

/dev/da13 has also been written with zeroes, and an initial smartctl -a test showed no errors, but a smartctl long test still has a few hours to run; it was replaced by /dev/da7. I am intending to use it as a replacement for /dev/da12.

I have discovered that the chrome browser on my Linux box does not play nice with the FreeNAS GUI: when I use Brave or Firefox, the bell icon shows all the alerts. (Pool -> STATUS doesn't work with the Chrome browser either: shows only the column headers.)

 

[Samuel Tai]

OK, then if you acknowledge all the bell alerts, that should clear out the e-mail report as well.

Yes, that does it. Thanks.

Are there any other reports of Chrome not playing nice with FreeNAS?

There's browser issues all throughout the forums.
