Tried to test a SLOG before adding it to ensure it’s working properly (purchased 2nd hand).
Is testing an NVMe device in TrueNAS Core not possible (as in, is this for spinning drives only?) …?
Device: Radian RMS-200 8GB PCIe x8 Gen3 (NVRAM Log Device)
System: E5-2430v2 (Dell T320)
Here’s the response when attempting a short test via: STORAGE → POOLS
My rough understanding is that the script behind the UI is probably using commands that won’t work on nvme type devices, which might need a special consideration like found here. Try doing it via command line.
The short/long tests are S.M.A.R.T-tests. I can’t say whats wrong with the middleware (I’m pretty sure I have some cron job for running smart test on everything, and didn’t get any error mail yet), but you can always run the tests manually via the CLI with smartctl.
I use that CLI tool quite a bit because TrueNAS doesn’t show much results and numbers even if that test was done.
Thanks … that’s resolved – then removing the device (no writes were happening to it) “disappeared the zpool” … then I found the command:
zpool import -m [pool name]
Resolved
Device now working and used on a different pool anyway.
off to trying to replicate a task – can’t. (kinda hard actually).
sometimes – every task just feels like invading normandie.
