  1. Yeah, i can't imagine it would take so much time to convert some of the existing SF plugins to make them compliant to the v5 gui... They don't have to be built from scratch. And especially now SpeedingAnt and Tom are both involved, troubleshooting etc is much easier.

     

    @Tom, @SpeedingAnt, is there a roadmap for the webgui?

  2. I ran the first parity check with stock values; after that i experimented with your scripts.

    Basically, i did not run your script with stock values. Should i have done that?

     

    So:

    - Parity check 1 with stock values aug. 21st

    - ran the 1.1 script a few times for testing and used those values after that

    - ran the 2.0 script this morning in FULLAUTO, rebooted using the values it gave

    - ran the 2nd parity check.

  3. Here it is.

     

    Tunables Report from  unRAID Tunables Tester v2.0 by Pauven
    
    NOTE: Use the smallest set of values that produce good results. Larger values
          increase server memory use, and may cause stability issues with unRAID,
          especially if you have any add-ons or plug-ins installed.

  4. Did a before and after parity check. Before is with stock settings:

    > Duration: 8 hours, 24 minutes, 50 seconds. Average speed: 132.1 MB/sec

     

    After is a full parity check after first optimizing settings with the script 2.0:

    > Duration: 8 hours, 24 minutes, 13 seconds. Average speed: 132.2 MB/sec

     

    As you can see... no difference at all on the parity check speed.

    (4TB parity disk)

     

  5. instead of harping on an inefficient loop, just run the program and enjoy the free fruits of my labor.

    No need to get so cross, I was just trying to help.

     

    I am attaching here the script that I used to test my tunables.  It does basically the same thing, but in only 60 lines of code.  See if you like it, and canibalize it for your purposes any way you see fit.

     

    Enjoy the free fruits of my labor. :)

    Your script forces makes the webgui unreachable and forces unraid to start a parity check... i would advice NOT using it.

    Pauven's script can be run without any weird effects.

  6. Another issue:

     

    The image for a spun-down disk is called green-blink.gif but the code is trying to open green-blink0.gif.

     

    <img src="plugins/webGui/images/green-blink0.gif" class="icon gap">

     

    I noticed this too when I upgraded.  So what I did to resolve this was to copy the green-blink.gif to green-blink0.gif as a temporary fix.

     

    cp /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/webGui/images/green-blink.gif /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/webGui/images/green-blink0.gif

    Encountered this as well, but did not notice it before...? Been running it for a few days now. I swear i've seen green blinking led's before... and now they're gone.

    Added issue on github.

  7. I know this is not a valid assumption, but for some reason i find the performance of a parity check a good sign of the functioning and speed of the system as a whole. The check should be fast, and not slowed down by opening the webgui (as it did using the latest SF). I'm glad to see that the parity check under v5.0-rc16b running the new webgui is perfect:

  8. This is a very good initiative. Can we add requests here as well? For me, if the stats page from SF is added, and the page where you can schedule a parity check, makes it more effective. But i'm sure those will show up in time :)

     

    Offcourse a plugin "manager" should be integrated, at this moment it is a bit confusing that the plugins tab actually does not contain active plugins but a list of available (official?) ones, while the active plugins themselves are placed under the settings tab... and even there they are all over the place. I have dropbox, slimserver and apcupsd under 'network services' (?) while the "unplugged" sickbeard and sabnzbd have there own "unplugged" 'chapter'... probably because the developer of those plugins decided so.

     

    Would be nice to remove the plugins from the settings tab and have a "plugin" tab that contains actual active (3rd party?) plugins, and a "plugin library" for a list of available plugins? (should even be a subpage within "plugins")

     

    Anyway, keep up the good work!

  9. Loading the 'Plugins' page sometimes times out with an error, takes about 30 seconds of waitcursor & no response resulting in:

     

    "Warning: file_get_contents(http://lime-technology.com/wiki/index.php/UnRAID_Plugins): failed to open stream: Connection timed out in /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/webGui/include/myPage_content.php(61) : eval()'d code on line 159 Warning: strpos(): Offset not contained in string in /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/webGui/include/myPage_content.php(61) : eval()'d code on line 166 Warning: strpos(): Offset not contained in string in /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/webGui/include/myPage_content.php(61) : eval()'d code on line 170"

  10. Installed it, and noticed a problem with Logitech Squeezeserver plugin, on the settings page it has no description text, and the plugin page itself the layout is messed up. Could be the plugin is faulty, but it worked perfectly under SimpleFeatures.

     

    This has been fixed.  http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=18310.msg256480#msg256480

     

    Get the latest version from my github page.

    Thanks. Installed it, but it wont start.

    Complains about 'Starting LMS... lms.pid not created for some reason...'

     

    Any ideas? Issue with rights on some files?

     

    *edit* re-installed, re-booted, now works.

  11. it deletes it when its installed.. thus if you just remove the package from the plugins folder, on reboot the normal webgui will be there (as it wont be removed since the new webgui package isnt being installed)

    Thanks.

  12. What if i try this and for some reason i want to uninstall? On git it says the installer will delete the stock webgui in emhttp... how do we get the stock gui back after uninstalling the new webgui?

  13. Most bioses have an option for  "resume on powerloss". Whenever power is gone you can choose between "on / off / last state".

    If you put that on "on" and setup a cheap power/timer clock between pc and wall socket you can get what you want :

    01:00 shut down array and power down system

    01:30 cut power using the timer

    06:00 restore power using timer

    On restore of power system will turn on abd boot into unraid.

    What is my major issue with this is that I allmost always have to do manual stuff to get the system to shudown without a parity check on restart.

    You can't just cut the power on the unraid server, i assume you're using a UPS in this scenario, which will do a clean powerdown when you cut power. Besides the fact that you are abusing the UPS this way, there is a bigger risk. Normally, in case of a power loss, you not only want to powerdown the unraid server in a clean way ASAP, but after that is done, also shutdown the UPS. If you don't, in case the power returns for like a minute or a few seconds and powers down AGAIN, you will be in the middel of starting up your unraid server again (because your using 'resume on powerloss') and you can't do a nice powerdown since the UPS probably is empty or near empty... this is why you do NOT want to resume on powerloss. Just stay off.

     

    So, do not use the UPS as a handy on/off switch... it's an emergency device, treat it as such.

  14. running several preclears at once can run you out of ram causing the preclear it to fail.

    I've precleared 5 of these 4TB puppies at once using the same mainboard as you know, with only 2GB of memory. No problem. I would suspect the SATA contoller is just not up to the challenge. I would replace it with a Supermicro SAS2LP or an IBM 1015.
