Scrubs and SMART Tests?

[travanx]

I setup everything, 9.2.1.5, and the server has been running fine for 42 days now. Setup long and short SMART tests and scrubs along with working email. How can I tell that the tests and scrub are working? Are these supposed to send an email once they are done, or only if there is a problem? Can I run something at the command to double check something is going on?

They only email if there's a problem. If you want to confirm that they were run at the command line, you can do

# zpool status

...which should give something like:

Code:

[dan@freenas2] /% zpool status
  pool: tank
 state: ONLINE
  scan: scrub repaired 0 in 14h24m with 0 errors on Mon Aug 11 12:24:33 2014

...and of course the relevant part is the "scrub . . . on Mon Aug 11"

Thanks. Wanted to make sure this is setup correctly.

and SMART tests can be checked yourself with smartctl -a /dev/(diskid)
