(SOLVED) SAS Drives Smart Errors


Recommended Posts

GUI SMART tests/results don't currently work for SAS devices, you can still run the tests manually and check the SMART report for the result, i.e.:

 

SMART Self-test log
Num  Test              Status                 segment  LifeTime  LBA_first_err [SK ASC ASQ]
     Description                              number   (hours)
# 1  Background short  Completed                   -   23297                 - [-   -    -]

 

This was completed successfully without errors, though for a full drive test you want to run the long test (or do a parity check which basically accomplishes the same for all drives at the same time).

SMART tests

 

Thanks partner.  Question?  What's the manual / command line to do a full drive test please?

 

And I just did a full preclear on all drives, the 5 steps plugging preclear and was all successful.  That means my drives are good to go and reliable for now?

Should be.

Thank you much Sir.  I am very impressed with the simplicity and clean interface and OS to be honest. I have one Unraid box running rock solid and stress testing my second one.  Looks like I am able to move away from my Mac mini Servers to this new platform.  Not too bad at all.  I wish I could get a break on the second license price :)   But hey you can't have it all :)
