Hello,
I've read all the posts in this forum (they weren't a few), as well as quite a few posts on this topic in other forums, and I still can't figure out what I should be looking at.
I get warnings on 2 of my SSDs:
Device: /dev/sdi [SAT], 2 Currently unreadable (pending) sectors.
Device: /dev/sde [SAT], 1 Currently unreadable (pending) sectors.
In the web GUI in disks S.M.A.R.T Test Results I see Remaining: N/A; Lifetime: 894; Error: N/A (Lifetime is different for each disk).
Since I'm a simple home user, I do what the experts say:
1 - I run the SMART test manually:
2 - look for errors in the output:
And here I was already very confused. Everywhere it says No Errors Logged and Completed without error.
I made the server on Christmas:
ProLiant ML350e Gen8 v2
HP H220 (SAS2308_1(D1) 20.00.07.00 14.01.30.16 07.39.02.00)
2*Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2450 v2 @ 2.50GHz
72GB RAM
8 brand new SSDs for date and 1 for boot
TrueNAS-SCALE-22.12.0
And let's move on to the questions asking for help:
1-What should I do about the Currently unreadable (pending) sectors problem?
2-Which of all the information from the SMART test should I watch and follow over time?
3-This is a suggestion to the developers. Is it possible for the OS to read all the information after it is run as a task in the S.M.A.R.T Test Results in the web GUI so that we simple users can see a simplified result but with everything important? And to add a "button" to "fix", if possible, the problem.
Many users know how to use shell, but also many do not. I'm throwing in some codes I found on the forums and hope they work for me too. It took me a while to figure out that some of them I can't run as admin and have to log in as root.
Sorry for my english and thanks for your time!
