S.M.A.R.T enabled in gui but not in cli?

[saurav]

I have a new FreeNAS mini box. The "View Disks" screen has "true" for all the 4 disks in the "Enable S.M.A.R.T." column. But the shell says otherwise:

Code:

[root@freenas-primary ~]# smartctl --test=conveyance /dev/ada3                                                                    
smartctl 6.2 2013-07-26 r3841 [FreeBSD 9.2-RELEASE-p10 amd64] (local build)

(override with '-T permissive' option)                                                       
                                    
[root@freenas-primary ~]# smartctl --test=conveyance /dev/ada4

[root@freenas-primary ~]#           

Which is right? Or is the "Enable S.M.A.R.T." in GUI not the same thing as what would happen if I did "smartctl --smart=on /dev/ada{3,4}"?

This is on freenas 9.2.1.7. Also, there are four identical WD RED disks, and this is the case for only 2 of them. For the other two (ada0 & ada1), S.M.A.R.T seems enabled when checked with smartctl.

Thanks,
Saurav.

I just tried those commands on my box (SMART monitoring is setup and enabled). It appears that SMART isn't running on your device.

Either it is explicitly disabled for those devices via WebGUI settings or the SMART monitoring isn't running.

Um, in the GUI, under Services, S.M.A.R.T. is on. Actually, its the only service that's on right now :p

In the "View Disks" screen, S.M.A.R.T. is on for all the 4 disks. Screenshot here:

Is there something else to enable in the gui?

Thanks,
Saurav.

There's plenty of ways you can disable it while having it enabled and on. I'd break out the manual and read the chapter on SMART. I don't know what to say except 'it works for me' unfortunately.

Never mind. This seems to have fixed itself after a reboot.

Before reboot, I had brought up the Edit screen for each disk in the "View Disks" screen and clicked "Ok" without changing anything. It might have had something to do with the "fix".
