Hi,
so I am experimenting with FreeNAS for the first time.
I read a good amount of the forum and know I am operating on suboptimal configuration, still I would like to know if someone has experienced something similar.
I have an older office computer Dell Optiplex 980 with i5-650, 12 GB RAM and internal SSD.
I have VMWare ESXi where I have installed FreeNAS with 8 GB RAM fully allocated from the host.
I have a USB 3.1 PCI Express controller (ASM1142 USB 3.1 Host Controller) that I have VT-d passed through to the FreeNAS VM.
I have 4x Toshiba N300 6TB in external enclosure Icy Box IB-3740-C31. This box is connected via USB-C cable to the USB 3.1 PCIe controller.
In FreeNAS I can see the 4 individual HDDs and have created a RAID-Z1 pool. Everything works.
But I am not getting S.M.A.R.T. readings in the Reporting. I know smartd works because I also have external USB HDD that I am currently Importing (old NTFS drive) and this one shows SMART details alright.
I would write this off as the IcyBox simply not being able to provide SMART data for the SATA drives but here's the thing.
On the FreeNAS console (the actual primary display of that VM), I'm getting temperature warnings:
So the smartd is clearly able to read the S.M.A.R.T. information from the drives, it just doesn't show in the FreeNAS system. Any help?
