When I run a manual test in the GUI, I get an error, no real description to be given here cause there's no error number or description besides the smarttest version, but then it says the test is starting. But the test is running in the background, the GUI doesn't display it at all (can't view test results either, different matter I think).
I've chalked this up to the possibility of it being WD DC550 SAS drives in the server. As tests on my boot drives and standard SATA disk function as expected. The SAS drives mount fine, I can make pools/volumes, everything is great, but the GUI can't really do any form of useful health communication with them. Short tests in smartctl just say "completed" with no table information like SATA drives usually provide.
I'm running a long test in terminal now just to see what it spits back, but that takes about 18 hours.
But here is the drive information:
I guess what I'm trying to ask, is this a bug in TrueNAS? Do does the gui side for smartctl just not support standard SATA drives? What would be the suggest best practice for checking on health of the server periodically? ideally the entire purpose of using truenas for me is to have a stable GUI to interact with, but without getting drive scans/health checks on a regular basis, if I'm going to be living in terminal all the time...maybe it doesn't make much sense besides user management?
