I have SMART enabled on all drives. I do a SMART short self-test nightly and a long self-test every two weeks.
When "Offline Uncorrectable" or "Current Pending Sector" counts are not zero, I never receive an email alert and the SMART self-test reports "Completed without error". Also, the drive reports: "the SMART overall-health self-assessment test result: PASSED".
Why is that? Shouldn't these types of failures trigger an alert and an email?
This has happened several times now. Each time, I discovered it by chance because I happened to check via SSH terminal. I would like Freenas to alert me when these errors occur. Yes, I could write a script to do this, but I'm wondering why this is not the default behavior.
Thanks.
Note: yes, my email is setup properly, I receive security reports, etc.
Running FreeNAS 9.2.1.5
