But the really irritating thing is that I have the same hardware configuration running FreeNAS 8.3.0 with a working smartd! Same Dell PowerEdge1850 (we got several of these very cheap) and two 2 TB usb-disks plus a boot disk exactly the same as for the FreeNAS 11 system.
On the 8.3.0 system the /usr/local/etc/smartd.conf looks like:
Code:
################################################

################################################
/dev/da0 -n never -W 0,0,0
/dev/da1 -n never -W 0,0,0
/dev/da2 -n never -W 0,0,0

So here all three disks are included.
The command smartctl -a /dev/da1 gives:
Code:

The difference is that the FreeNAS 11 system have two Seagate usb-disks instead of Western Digital.
So for this Western Digital 2 TB usb-disk everything works for smartd.
I thought smartd would enable support for SMART in the disk.

Is the there a way to manually enable SMART support?

No cares if you think it works. We are telling you that is a terrible idea and you just haven't figured out it's broken yet.

Western digital might be doing some tricky stuff and preventing access to smart. Double check it's enabled in the bios.

Is S.M.A.R.T. enabled for the USB disks when you go to Storage->View Disks?

If not, enable it there. Also, you may be able to specify extra S.M.A.R.T. options to get the service 'working'.

But to echo the comments of others... using USB disks is a Very Bad Idea if you value your data. :eek:

Also if it does work for FreeNAS 8.3.0, keep in mind that thsi was based off of FreeBSD 8.x and FreeNAS 11 is based on FreeBSD 11. These are considerably different and you can expect some considerable differences between the two. I would expect old drivers to go away and new drivers to show up, possibly no longer supporting your old hardware. But i echo the same conserns about using a USB adapter.

Thank you all for this info, even though it is disappointing to me. It would have been such a nice and cheap way to get backup storage.

@Spearfoot : Yes, "Enable SMART" is true for both disks. See the screendump.

Why is the first "real" scsi-disk (the boot disk) not listed in smartd.conf? It is in my old 8.3.0 system.

You really mean I am just lucky being able to run the 8.3.0 system with usb-disks for so long (several years) without a crash?

Lucky, maybe, but it's not a safe way to go. Also some support for external drives was removed in FreeNAS 9.x so that could also be a factor.

After some reading, especially at smartmontools.org, I could get smartd to work, by adding the extra smartd options -d sat. I will take my chances with external usb-drives for some more time, maybe I will be burned.
