      Maybe your RAID controller is not supported by this program.

      I will check it, I thought it was.

      
      How are labeled your disks?
      
      What do you mean by this ?

          /dev/idad0s1a  13133670 75896 12007082    1%    /
          devfs                1    1        0  100%    /dev
          /dev/md0          1710    26    1548    2%    /var/run
          devfs                1    1        0  100%    /var/dhcpd/dev

          Btw, I was thinking of using smartmontools. After installing this I see that libcam* is missing.

          Or we have to get a full install tree, what not should be it.

            Your RAID controller doesn't use the amr driver, so you can't use amrstat

            If you get smartmontools, how will you get notified of a failed disk?

                I think I found how to do it, using an Expect script.  I haven't tried it yet 'cause I don't have the pfsense machine close, but I will as soon as I can boot it up.

                Here is the script:

                http://bash.cyberciti.biz/security/sshlogin.exp.php

                This script is executed from a remote host, on which expect is installed.  I'm just beginning with expect, so I hard-coded all my values in the script.  I know this exposes the firewall root password in a file, but I think I can live with that until I find a better way to be alerted when a drive fails.

                #! /bin/bash
                
                RETVAL=0
                
                /home/user/expect_amrstat > /home/user/expect_degraded
                
                grep Degraded /home/user/expect_degraded >dev/null
                
                RETVAL=$?
                if [ "$RETVAL" = 0 ]; then
                        echo "Array degraded on firewall"  |mail -s "Array Degraded" me@mydomain.com
                fi
                
                

                The script /home/user/expect_amrstat simply runs amrstat on the firewall and outputs the result.
