Hi guys,
Pretty new to FreeNAS: I've got it installed on an old i5-3230M Acer laptop with 8GB RAM.
Removed the Mini-PCI-E WLAN card and put in a USB 3 one to allow connection of a 4 bay JBOD enclosure with a jumble of old disks (I wanted to use what I had available before coughing up for new disks).
I've created 2 pools; storage & backup. Storage spans a single 6TB disk & Backup spans x1 2TB & x2 1TB disks. Storage pool then has a single dataset on it & Backup pool has two, one for Time Machine & the other for Windows backups (I know there's no redundancy here).
Shares are created and every machine on the LAN can see & connect to what it's supposed to.
I'm having doubts about the disks in the Backup pool (the x2 1TB's are WD Greens) so I wanted to run a Long SMART test on each... enter my problem, the view disks tab under storage only shows a single disk and not always the same one however the serial for the disk is always the same "0123456789ABCDEF". Going to the "volume status" page for each pool shows which disks compose it and obviously each disk was viewable when I created the volumes with volume manager.
When I go to add SMART test under Tasks, again only one disk is displayed.
Having read through some similar threads on the forum I have tried clearing my browser cache & cookies (using Safari on OS X 10.10) as well as using different browsers (Chrome & Firefox) and various browsers on different machines with different OS's (Win 7 & Win 10). Still only see one disk in the "view disks" tab.
Hoping some light can be shed on my issue, any help is appreciated :)
