I'm getting 12 emails about 12 disks that are being passed through to FreeNAS:

Subject:
SMART error (FailedOpenDevice) detected on host: hostname
Body:
This message was generated by the smartd daemon running on:

host name: hostname
DNS domain: local.local

The following warning/error was logged by the smartd daemon:

Device: /dev/sdk [SAT], unable to open device

Device info:
WDC WD60EFRX-68L0BN1, S/N:WD-WX11xxxxxxx, WWN:5-0014xx-xxxxxxx, FW:82.00A82, 6.00 TB

For details see host's SYSLOG.
You can also use the smartctl utility for further investigation.
The original message about this issue was sent at Mon Sep 11 11:54:57 2017 CDT
Another message will be sent in 24 hours if the problem persists.


Any ideas about how to stop this?

Thanks!
 
you can configure smartd to not scan those disks (/etc/smartd.conf)

Code:
man smartd
