Real pro-tip--don't buy fakes from china and get a genuine used card and cables for truly trouble-free operation. ;)
I buy the cables from china, not the card. My LSI 3008 is from a professional german shop, i paid 150€ for it, and is absolutely genuine.

The chinese cables are great, and the correct price level. Western made cables are daylight robbery.

edit: my bad, the way i said it made it seem like i buy the LSI cards from China. Not so. Your pro-pro-tip was warranted due to my poorly formed sentence.

Hi, i used the 'scsi-SATA_HGST_HUH721010AL_XXXXXXX' just as an example, each drive has a slightly different code. Find your drive in /dev/disk/by-id/ ( ls -la /dev/disk/by-id/ )

^^ edit sorry, you're on freebsd, but just find your drive wherever it is in BSD, every drive has a unique ending. Use grep with capital H in Helium.

or alternatively just run lsblk, and identify your drive there.

the helium level should show on any HUH* drive. It is under the 'Vendor Specific SMART Attributes with Thresholds:'
I admit i've never run it on a SAS drive, but should be there too by all logic.

oh yeah, u need to use capital H on helium.

Here is my Vendor Specific SMART Attributes with Thresholds output as reference:

Nothing I do will make the sas disks show the vendor specific codes honestly I think it's a sas related logic and it just doesn't show that data?.

lsblk is not valid in bsd
ls -la /dev/da2/ using either serial number or logical unit id number does nothing.
Running the smrtcommand on my hgst 3tb stat drives on the same machine through the same hba and expander gives the vender specifc output
shown below.

Code:
smartctl -a /dev/da9

I'm beginning to wonder if smartctl in truenas is borked. I've noticed an line of code in the -x that might be why..

Code:
Vendor (Seagate Cache) information
  Blocks sent to initiator = 5534258198216704
I'm wondering if for some reason smartclt is thinking the drives are seagates and that is why it will not report the data.

Yeah, this is very interesting. That Seagate reference is weird! We are running the same version: smartctl 7.2 2020-12-30 r5155

I'm expecting a couple of 8TB HUH728080AL5205 SAS drives to arrive any day now, plus then i wait for cables from china. So at some point i'll be able to pull data from them to compare.

Edit, quick search came up with this: GitHub - truenas/py-SMART: Wrapper for smartctl (smartmontools)

Edit2: maybe boot your freenas truenas box with a Debian 11 live USB to see if your running a python wrapper over smartctl

I'm assuming your drives are sata correct? because when I run -a on my 3tb sata hgst's I get the vender specific logs just fine.

When I run the code you run exactly but just changing to the SN of my disk I get this..

I'm finding that it apears that Sas drives don't output info like their sata counterparts and if they are "oem" drives which these are as SN check on HGST site for warenty says to take them back to a vender.
I'm wondering if the firmware will need to be changed to a straight HGST only firmware.. How ever it will likely still not output like that of it's sata brethren.

Correct
I know this is a SAS specific thread, and i was assuming smartctl would output just the same for SAS drives, because once again, the drives are mechanically exactly the same. Let's see if i'm gonna be proven a complete fool here. sometimes in the near future i'll have some HUH* SAS drives to test on, but atm i have none.

Also as far as your suggestion on changing boot.. my Truenas is in a vm on esxi with hba pci-passthrough.. The more I've been gathering the more I think this is a sas issue not wanting to give up any secrets rather then an issue with OS. I'm not exactly wanting to take a production system down. But I may. Shouldn't be too hard to just boot them vm into a live linux install for basic testing.

When i receive my second hand SAS drives i know i'll be pissed off if i'm not gonna be able to check the helium levels on them.

Regarding the mechanics once more, no HDD manufacturer makes physically separate SAS drives anymore, there is no point.

You can't make them faster by spinning them at 10k rpm, and you can't make them more reliable etc.. If you look at the HGST he8, he10 and he12 spec sheets you see arrows to the left pointing to the SATA versions on all parameters except formatting, interface and power attributes. Because they are the same.

nothing but arrows to the left.

Don't bother, i'll report here once i have my drives and cables.

Edit in the meantime, you could try to figure out if truenas is really using a python wrapper for smartctl. In linux i think the command is 'which' to see what is actually being run when you type smartctl.

or locate the actual smartctl binary and run it including the path.

I understand that the mechanical portion of the drive is the same. From what I've been readin sparcly is that it appears that the sas side of the controllers scsi seems to not have any uniformity and alot of things are hidden from smart escpecially if they are OEM drives.

Edit in the meantime, you could try to figure out if truenas is really using a python wrapper for smartctl. In linux i think the command is 'which' to see what is actually being run when you type smartctl.

or locate the actual smartctl binary and run in including the path.
Code:
root@aeronas:~ # which smartctl -a /dev/da2
/usr/local/sbin/smartctl
-a: Command not found.
/dev/da2: Command not found.

/dev/da2: Command not found.
nano /usr/local/sbin/smartctl

(to see if it's ascii or binary)

# ls -la /usr/sbin/smartctl

I understand that the mechanical portion of the drive is the same. From what I've been readin sparcly is that it appears that the sas side of the controllers scsi seems to not have any uniformity and alot of things are hidden from smart escpecially if they are OEM drives.
If that is the case, i will be contacting the smartctl devs and crying until i get my helium readings!

Well out of curiosity I called HGST support to ask if th
nano /usr/local/sbin/smartctl

(to see if it's ascii or binary)

# ls -la /usr/sbin/smartctl
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 896912 Mar 8 2021 /usr/sbin/smartctl
Btw I just got off the phone with WD/HGST asking if there was a way to check helium levels on my M/N and S/N and they said NO.
but below is nano output and your ls -la

WOW!!

that is real news.
Not for sure. How ever the more I've been digging into this though I think its just Sas drives or scsi in general doesn't talk to smart much more then some basic info.
as I said same HBA and Expander talking to the 3tb HGST sata drives it will give full out-put and it's not a function of BDS vs Linux but rather Sas vs Sata

Not for sure. How ever the more I've been digging into this though I think its just Sas drives or scsi in general doesn't talk to smart much more then some basic info.
as I said same HBA and Expander talking to the 3tb HGST sata drives it will give full out-put and it's not a function of BDS vs Linux but rather Sas vs Sata
that id22 data still does exist in the SAS controller PCB. No matter what the WD/HGST guys are saying, the correct place to ask about this would be the smartmontools dev team.

Helium filled drives are among the most significant technological advancement in HDD technology in the past decade, if that parameter exists in the SAS HDD PCB IC ROM, then it will be pulled out of there, one way or the other. I think this discussion will yet lead to positive results. I will certainly contact the smartmontools team once i get my drives and can confirm this.

If this parameter doesn't exist in SAS drives, well, then it doesn't exist in SATA drives either, and the helium_level reading is another scam just like the SMR scam. Either way, i think this discussion is very significant.

If the Helium_Level reading is real, it will be pulled out of the SAS drives one way or the other.

Another issue I've ran into is the smart background long..
Long story short when I first got the drives I downed my working truenas to run some tests first as I didn't have space to test any of the drives with the current machine running. I figured since they already went through the infant mortality period and the little bit of smart data availible showing no errors I ran a short test that completed then decided to run a long test. When it came back over a day I decided I didn't want to have my truenas down that long. So I shut down the system put all of the old drives back in the system and then proceeded to plop a single 10tb drive at a time to expand my pool.
With all of that said, after all of the drives have been inserviced I noticed the background long was not completing and this was about a week after the last drive was inserviced.

With that I started a new test and canceled the old test..

I watched the new test progress and then it reset to 0.0% and never showed complete
minus saying it's waiting on an bms interval timer to expire.
I'm wondering if all 6 drives have to scan 1 at a time then when all 6 are done it will then show completed?
how ever more then 1 drive is scanning at a time so that shouldn't be it.
side note; nothing I can do to abort the current one in progress. -X returns
Abort self test failed [unsupported field in scsi command]
