[zfs-discuss] Assessing health/performance of individual drives in ZFS pool
Hello, A while I was exploring running smartmontools in Solaris 10 on my SATA drives, but at the time SATA drives were not supported. Has this changed, or are there any other techniques I can use to check the health of an individual SATA drive in my pool short of what ZFS itself reports? -- Joe Auty, NetMusician NetMusician helps musicians, bands and artists create beautiful, professional, custom designed, career-essential websites that are easy to maintain and to integrate with popular social networks. www.netmusician.org <http://www.netmusician.org> joe at netmusician.org <mailto:joe at netmusician.org> -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

This works for me on both the onboard AHCI ports and the SATA drives connected to my Intel SASUC8I (LSI-based) HBA.

Works fine on the internal disks of a HP DL160G6 for example. /Tomas -- Tomas ?gren, stric at acc.umu.se, http://www.acc.umu.se/~stric/ |- Student at Computing Science, University of Ume? `- Sysadmin at {cs,acc}.umu.se
