[OmniOS-discuss] Granular control of fma modules

[Jason Cox]

So I am running into this for a server I built for production. I unloaded
the module, but I am guessing that this means I will not be able to tell
when a drive is failed now outside of the normal way you can tell when a
drive is having issues. Thinking long term here, what other options do I
have? Just look at running smartmontool to monitor the drive I guess?

Also is Seagate going to provide a way to update the firmware once it is
available or do we have to try and RMA the drives or just swap them as they
fail...  I love how the spec says they are good from 5-60c, but the
firmware says 40c as the threshold temp.

Thanks
