S.M.A.R.T.

There is a special consideration when installing TrueNAS in a Virtual Machine (VM), as S.M.A.R.T services monitor actual physical devices, which are abstracted in a VM. After the installation of TrueNAS completes on the VM, go to System > Services > and click the blue toggle button on the S.M.A.R.T. service to stop the service from running. Clear the Start Automatically checkbox so the service does not automatically start when the system reboots.

Note that the table(s) below can be reorganized by clicking on the column titles. This allows you to reorganize the information in each column by togglnig between a descending and ascending order.

Use the Services > S.M.A.R.T. screen to configure when S.M.A.R.T. tests run and when to trigger alert warnings and send emails.
