SMART Service Not Starting

[Halo3Productions]

I've searched and searched, but found nothing related to my problem.

I've configured a SMART test to run on a schedule, and I've set it to check at certain intervals. I also have SMART enabled on my drive. I try starting it by click it to On, and it appears to load for a few seconds then remains set to Off. On the console, it says "freenas smartd[7906]: Configuration file /usr/local/etc/smartd.conf parsed but has no entries (like /dev/hda)". I have no idea what to do from here.

What version are you running

I am having the exact same problem and have been unable to find out why.

I am running 8.0.4 release p3

Below is the console output:

freenas freenas: Starting smartd.
freenas smartd[5129]: Configuration file /usr/local/etc/smartd.conf parsed but has no entries (like /dev/hda)
freenas root: /usr/local/etc/rc.d/smartd: WARNING: failed to start smartd
freenas freenas: /usr/local/etc/rc.d/smartd: WARNING: failed to start smartd

opening the smartd.conf file indeed shows that the file is empty except for:

################################################
# smartd.conf generated by FreeNAS
################################################


I have verified the steps to fully configure SMART:

1 - created and scheduled SMART tests
2 - verified each member disk in the volume is set to 'true' for Enable SMART
3 - checked the SMART service configuration, using defaults but added email

I ran the gpart show command for fun and all drives from da0-da13 show up with the correct information.

I'm not really sure what to try next. If anyone has any ideas I would greatly appreciate any assistance.

Thank you!

I think I know why, it is a bug in ix-smartd detecting SMART support on disks...

Not much you can do without code hacking...

Can someone paste the output of smartctl -i /dev/da0 on a 8.0.x install?

Thank you William. Below is the output. I see it is indeed saying that the device does not support SMART. These devices are all 2.0TB Western Digital black drives.

Device does not support SMART

 

[William Grzybowski]

Looks like you're using RAID controller and exporting the devices as raid 0, no JBOD option...

Not sure how to fix it

 

[ean_bw]

Yes, it's an old HP Proliant DL 420s with a P400 controller.

Unfortunately it doesn't have a JBOD option. It all makes sense to me now...

Thank you!

 

[Halo3Productions]

Well, I'm not doing RAID.

I'm running 8.0.4 Release P3 (x86). I know for sure my disk supports SMART.

 

[William Grzybowski]

Then please do what I asked to identify the issue ;)

 

[Halo3Productions]

Can someone paste the output of smartctl -i /dev/da0 on a 8.0.x install?

Is that it?

 

[William Grzybowski]

Yes, sir. . .

 

[Halo3Productions]

I'm barely familiar with freeNAS. How would I pull it off?

Update: Still can't figure out how it's used.

 

[Halo3Productions]

No one can help me?
