I have built several FreeNAS systems. All work well. I downloaded TrueNAS and wanted to PLAY with it. So used the only server that remained. Unfortunately it has a RAID controller. So... I set up the drives as RAID0 and proceeded.
Loved the way TrueNAS worked... However after 30 hours of operation or so it started acting squirly. I didn't NEED it so, dumped the jail, and plugin, and attempted to dump the pool. Failing this just rebooted the machine and cleared the 3 drives I was using for TrueNAS.
All seemed good until I had completed re-scanning the content. Took hours to do... 925 folders. But when I took a look at the Dashboard noticed an alarm saying drives were failing.
A look at the pool validated that, however instead of identifying which drive was bad like it would do with an HBA controller, it simply said ONE or more of my drives was failing.
No indication of which. I used smart to check them quickly and two of them had 44K hours and one had <400 hours. Obviously one of the two high hour drives is suspect. But which one?
Anyone out there have knowledge how to proceed. I guess I could boot Linux and use SMART from there, but would the RAID0 prevent an accurate picture there as well?
Help !
