There are no serial numbers in the alert. It's a ZFS internal identifier.
If you want to argue that the alert could be improved, then we agree. ;-)
Not arguing anything, just trying to understand how it works before I go live with real data/users.
The observation is not that funky number is reported, but the funky number is reported sometimes, and real serial numbers
other times.
When I pull the top 2 disks, I get this ZFS # that does not match with anything I could find about a disk.
When I pull the bottom 2 disks, I get serial numbers in this same alert that do match disk serial numbers.
Not a big deal with a 6 disk NAS, but could be a more serious issue with a large number of disks.
Does Truenas development team want tickets for improvement like these especially since I can reproduce this anomaly?
A more interesting thing is that the red unhealthy does not go away with a pool scrub and I can find no clear button in the GUI.
but a restart of the NAS will clear this out-of-date information.
Taking down the NAS to update / remove an out-of-date GUI indication does feel more serious.
Think I should report this finding?
