Limit On Volume Count?

OS4 had the volume names c d e and f hard coded into the OS, so adding support for 6 volumes would require manually adding some lines of code. With OS6 you name your own volumes and it is written in such a way to allow more volumes than you are likely to need.

OK, but that is what software development is all about: "manually adding some lines of code".

With OS4.2.x there is the disk test boot option, just like there is on OS6.

That's pretty heavy handed. There is no way to verify a new disk individually or test a failing drive and getting any real diagnostics out of the system.

OS4 runs a short online SMART test daily at 4am. You can do offline SMART tests manually if you really want to (it's just not something that's likely to be explained here).

I have downloaded and examined the SMART logs on the unit. I see no evidence of this daily run. It looks like the short test is run once each time the disk is added to the unit.

As to running SMART tests yourself, I assume you are talking about using SSH? I thought that was not allowed by support?
