October 6, 201213 yr Is there a way to shoot of a batch job on ALL the disks in the array for a short self test? I have the Simple Features plugin and apparently you can run tests on each drive but per drive. I'm looking to do a way where it will either test them all at once (if possible) or just one at a time when one finishes it will go on to the next until they are all done. With Windows I would just write a simple command line batch job, but not really sure on Linux.

October 6, 201213 yr Author Sorry for being illiterate with this, but where would the results go when the tests finish up? And thank you.

The command only requests the tests be started. You must perform a smart report on each drive to see the results. (after waiting an appropriate time for it to complete) Joe L.
