Inappropriate ioctl #5

Closed CoreyVidal closed 4 years ago

Hi. I'm new to FreeNAS and setting up my first NAS. Been slowly working my way through figuring everything out.

I'm running your script as we speak on 1 drive of mine. It just returned this:

+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ Run badblocks test on drive /dev/da0: Sat Jun 20 15:46:58 EDT 2020
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Checking for bad blocks in read-write mode
From block 0 to 1465130645
Testing with pattern 0xaa: set_o_direct: Inappropriate ioctl for device
`  6.86% done, 31:09 elapsed. (0/0/0 errors)

I'm not sure what inappropriate ioctl is, and this thing still has 9+ hours to go before it's done. Should I be concerned?

If it helps, the disk I'm running it on is a Seagate Enterprise NAS drive. 6 TB. SATA 3.0 (6 Gbps). Model number is ST6000NM0115-1YZ.

I don't think or expect you to help me with my particular device. Just wondering if you might share some insight?

Thanks!

Hi!

Nothing to worry about -- it always displays that message on FreeBSD/FreeNAS, but always runs successfully.

Thank you, that's great! Might I recommend mentioning that in the documentation somewhere?

That's a good idea. Thanks
