How Do I View Scrub Results or Logs?

[JonnyAlpha]

Hi;

Without a monitor attached how do I look at the results of a scrub, is there a log file?
Just want to keep monitoring my NAS as I have had some issues with one of the drives.

Thanks

ssh into your box and use "zpool status"

Do i ssh from a terminal on my Mac?

The answer to your question is... ssh is a method of communication like ftp, telnet, etc. It doesn't matter what OS you run the client on as long as it supports the protocol appropriately. So yes, if you have a mac app that's capable of doing ssh, you can use that. But you'll have to make sure SSH is enabled and configured on your FreeNAS box.

But since I suspect I'm speaking Greek to you, you can just use the FreeNAS shell from the web GUI if you're using a current release of FreeNAS, or if you have console access, using the shell command there (I think it's option "9").

I have used ssh on a Mac but only once or twice to ssh into an AppleTV so its not quite all Greek.

I had already used the shell from within FreeNAS to get a zpool status but this only returns a single page of results I was thinking the results would be in something like a log file but guess I was wrong??

Thanks

It's not a log, it's a snapshot. If scrubbing is finished, it'll give you results of the last scrub. If it's on-going, it'll tell you about that. You'll also see any resilvering done and health of the pool. I'm not aware of a historical log. Can you think of a reason you'd need one?
