S.M.A.R.T - Service will not start

[ninjaneer68]

I just recently install FREENAS for the first time. the SMART service will not start. I am not sure why or how to troubleshoot or what logs to view to see why

It never turned on from the original FREENAS install. What has me puzzled is I reinstalled FREENAS with the NEW USB devices I bought and when it came up SMART enabled NO problem and it saw my DRIVES.

Once I restored the CONFIG it wouldn't turn on. I am not far into the configuring of FREENAS. If I REINSTALL again, and don't restore CONFIG settings can I get access to the DATA\JAILS that is on the drives ?

Below are the SPEC's of the system

@joeschmuck and I already replied to this (using an Adaptec RAID controller) in the OP's intro thread. See - https://forums.freenas.org/index.php?threads/new-to-freenas-hello-world.54511/#post-378371

Yup, needs a different card.

UPDATE - I reinstalled FREENAS and now my SMART service turns on. I know this adaptec isn't ideal but its working for now and I was able to import the old zpool data
