If a disk is dying, how do I find the message that will tell me which disk?
If it isn't a dying disk, how do I figure out what is causing the problem?
What activity was going on during the network graph (streaming or file transfer)? Because that was only showing 5MB/s (50Mbits/S).Streaming only needs 5 MB/s, which is well below the 50 MB/s I see when doing straight file transfers.

I thought I had edited my signature to include the specs

If you ask for help, we need to see the hardware and software details in the body of the message.
If it should be run periodically why isn't FreeNAS already scheduling it?How often do you run a Long SMART test?
By that logic, why isn't freenas sharing all our storage?If it should be run periodically why isn't FreeNAS already scheduling it?
The implication was that it should be run on a periodic basis. I don't see how the logic gets back to sharing all storage automatically. I didn't have to schedule the automatic zpool scrub when I created the pool, but there it is. If it should be done the same way a scrub should, why isn't FreeNAS doing it for me?By that logic, why isn't freenas sharing all our storage? :)
I agree that the setup wizard could guide the new setup in this regard, but I'm not sure everyone has the same testing needs.
FreeNAS was never designed to hold your hand configuring it. It gives you the tools to set-up a very powerful file server. Do you expect Windows or Linux to set-up scrubs and SMARTS tests for you? Probably not, so why should FreeNAS do it.The implication was that it should be run on a periodic basis. I don't see how the logic gets back to sharing all storage automatically.

If Windows or Linux was running ZFS I would expect them to setup periodic Scrubs for me. If SMARTS tests are that important, I would expect them to do them as well.FreeNAS was never designed to hold your hand configuring it. It gives you the tools to set-up a very powerful file server.

While I don't know the answer in regards to the WHY, what I might suggest is you put in a feature requestSo I again ask the question, if running SMARTS tests periodically are more important than scrubs, why doesn't FreeNAS do them for me?
There are a few reasons I can think of to be honest...So I again ask the question, if running SMARTS tests periodically are more important than scrubs, why doesn't FreeNAS do them for me?
Pardon me, but I thought the OP asked about freezes during video playback...I'm having a problem with video playback over the network. I'm streaming from my FreeNAS 9.3 box to a MacMini over a gigabit network. Streaming only needs 5 MB/s, which is well below the 50 MB/s I see when doing straight file transfers. Every once in a while the playback will freeze. I'm trying to find out where the bottleneck is. When I look at the reporting graphs I see a gap in disk access at the time of the freeze, included. All 10 drives show the same graph. The memory utilization shows no noticeable change. The CPU spikes, but is still well below the 400% max. The logs I can find show no useable messages at the time of the freeze.
Copying the video to the MacMini and playing it directly off the local drive works perfectly, eliminating the MacMini, the video format, and the playback software. My router showed no other network traffic at the time. Leaving me to think it was a problem with the FreeNAS server. When I looked at the server, everything said it was working normally. So I asked here.When playback issues happen I would think client software, server (media) software, config between those, and then network before I thought Freenas as the issue. (I'm not saying it's not Freenas, just that it's not first in the priority order for debugging, at least for me.)
The reported hardware is what FreeNAS reports in the System Information view. Unless you expect me to take the computer apart, I don't remember any of the other specs. Is there a command I can run to get more information?I still don't see complete hardware specs. I presume your core i3 is plugged into a motherboard of some sort?
