Description
Hi Team,
on the latest version 8.0.1 release I'm not able to start the SMART service. I get the following.
Oct 12 00:14:34 freenas freenas[2281]: Executing: /usr/sbin/service ix-smartd quietstart
Oct 12 00:14:35 freenas freenas[2281]: Executing: /usr/sbin/service smartd restart
Oct 12 00:14:35 freenas freenas: smartd not running? (check /var/run/smartd.pid).
Oct 12 00:14:35 freenas freenas: Starting smartd.

A few bits has been recently added in ix-smart script to check for smart capabilities before enabling it. This will make its appearance in 8.2-BETA3.

I should add that there are 2 drives in my configuration, one is an SSD drive and the second is a raid over an array controller. Although my test have been on different versions, previous tickets mention similar behaviour 371 and 786.
Thanks.
