I'm currently in the process off moving to a new freenas installation on server-graded hardware.
BuildFreeNAS-8.3.1-RELEASE-p2-x64 (r12686+b770da6_dirty)
PlatformIntel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E3110 @ 3.00GHz
Memory2029MB <== i allready know about this one, it's in the works, should arrive next week
some random questions:
1) the new nas has an LSI-raid controller...
according to this topic: (http://forums.freenas.org/threads/confused-about-that-lsi-card-join-the-crowd.11901/)
2) since i'm still in the testing phase i'd love to get some read-outs about internal temperature and stuff. If i'm understanding correctly that should be standard in version 9.x?
for now i've been doing this
for the cpu:
sysctl -a |egrep -E "cpu\.[0-9]+\.temp"
which gives me a value between 38- 43 depending on the load.
I've been googling around to get a read out about the exact temperature of the disks.
according to google: smartctl -a /dev/insertdisk
but i get this:
[root@freenas] ~# smartctl -a /dev/mfid5
smartctl 5.43 2012-06-30 r3573 [FreeBSD 8.3-RELEASE-p7 amd64] (local build)

/dev/mfid5: To monitor disks on LSI RAID load mfip.ko module and run 'smartctl -a /dev/passX' to show SMART information
Smartctl: please specify device type with the -d option.
Use smartctl -h to get a usage summary
according to this topic:

it isn't possible? or shouldn't be done whatever xD
Is there then any other way to get a read out about the exact temperature in the drives? (or will that be in freenas 9.x, in which case i'll just wait for that)
smartctl -t long gives the same error.
if you have any questions feel free to shoot them and i'll upload screenshots/post outputs of commands at will.
thanks allready

am i correctly in assuming that i can't insert my original disks from my current installation into the raid drivebays? Would it change anything if i connected them directly onto the motherboard instead of using the drivebay/raid controller?mfiutil create jbod NUMBER" for each of those numbers. Be warned that creating JBOD is almost certainly guaranteed to be overwriting what is on the disk
