I have 4x WD RED 3TB drives in a MediaSonic ProBox enclosure. These all run eSATA into an esata card in the pcix slot of a dl380 G5 running 9.2.2.1 off of a usb stick. I get email alerts and errors in the console stating that ada2 and ada3 have failed the smart self test. These drives are just opened out of the box as replacements for DOAs. Granted I could have two more bad drives, but is my luck really this bad. When I run a short test it comes back with nothing. SMART still passes it isn't set to failed, they just fail the self test on the 30minute smartd daemon.
It might just be me but it seems like if I have 0 plugins installed these errors never occur, once I install a plugin the error starts occuring. This could be completely in my head though.
What could cause this? Also I still have TLER enabled on the drives can this be a cause of this issue.
Edit:
One thing to note is the two with no issue are from when re4 first released. Could this be an idle park time issue. Surely that wouldn't cause the self check to fail would it?
