SMARTReporter not showing MacZFS Drives

[Marc Mosko]

hello,

New mac ifs user here! I have 3x Seagate ST3000DM001 in a RaidZ1 on a Mac
Pro (mid 2012), all in internal drive slots.

SMARTReporter sees my boot drive (flash) and an external USB drive and "1
disks(s) not SMART capable" which I assume is the zfs drive (not the dvd).

Is there anything special that needs to be done to a zfs pool for SMART
monitoring?

I created the pool following the quicks start guide, creating a ZFS
partition then adding those partitions to a raidz.

Also, what are the "read / write / cksum" columns from "zpool status"? The
man page does not describe them.

Thank you

As far as I know, a choice of file system (or storage system) should not
affect whether the operating system can work with S.M.A.R.T.-capable
hardware.

Whilst I'm not very familiar with SMARTReporter, I'm surprised that it
appears to not find S.M.A.R.T. capability for any of the three internal
drives.

That said, you might find the following of interest:

kasbert <https://github.com/kasbert>/*OS-X-SAT-SMART-Driver
<https://github.com/kasbert/OS-X-SAT-SMART-Driver>*

– try the 0.9 release, restart the Mac then see whether Disk Utility and/or
SMARTReporter treat the three drives as supporting S.M.A.R.T..

Ok, thank you. I just wanted to make sure it wasn't something known about
zfs. Digging deeper, I see the SMARTReporter log says:

Jul 20 14:31:53 big.parc.xerox.com SMARTReporter[552] <Error>: Error:
mountedHarddisks volumeParms.vMDeviceID == NULL
Jul 20 14:31:53 big.parc.xerox.com SMARTReporter[552] <Error>: Error:

Jul 20 14:31:53 big.parc.xerox.com SMARTReporter[552] <Info>: I/O-Error
check: O.K. - No problems found on all 2 checked disk(s).

So I suspect there's something going on with it. Disk Utility shows "SMART
Status: Verified" for the 3 drives. I've sent a support request to Core
Code about it and will update this post once I find out.
