- Annoyance
Not sure if this is a bug or expected behaviour? I think it is probably not new behaviour (although I have not checked that) and exists in all recent Unraid releases, but I have only just noticed it.
if you start a parity check from the Main tab then as expected you get Pause / Cancel buttons appearing, a message saying a parity check is running; and the progress of the parity check is updating on the GUI Status line. The issue is that when the parity check (or any other array operation) finishes the Main tab continues to display the Pause and Cancel buttons and the running message until you refresh the screen. The Status line will correctly show the parity check is no longer running. On refresh you then get the expected display for the current status on the Main tab. Ideally the screen should automatically update itself when the parity check finishes without the need for a manual refresh.
A similar thing happens when an array operation is paused or resumed using the parity check tuning plugin in that the GUI is not updated to reflect what it would be if the user manually hit pause or resume. This can mean, for example, that the array operation is paused but the GUI (but not the status line which shows the correct status) says it is running and the Pause button is shown.
ideally the GUI would auto-update itself to reflect the above states as they changed.
if there is a way to do such a GUI refresh programmatically (that I am not aware of) then I could update the parity tuning plugin to use that method which while not a true fix would at least mitigate the effects for some users.
