The correct one is " /boot/config/plugins/dynamix/monitor.ini "

 

You need "stop array" first then at command prompt delete or modify the file, then type "reboot" ASAP

 

The content look like as below,  "100" or something else is the SMART attribute ID in my case

Thank you, that's exactly what I wanted!  I really appreciate all of your effort.  I'll let you know how it goes.

So good that Thecus have extra SATA port for this, my QNAP have too but no SATA socket solder on PCB.

Which QNAP model?

You might want to take a time out at this point.  Go to Wikipedia and look up the article on S.M.A.R.T.

You might want to back off on the condescension. I started working with hard drives when they had physical labels that listed the bad sectors; you would type in the list when initializing the drives.  You can just see the corner of a metal computer case in background of that photo -- it's a CP/M-80 Z80 system that I built, initially with floppies and later upgraded with a 5MB (yes, megabyte), Tandon TM501, 5.25", full-height, drive interfaced to the computer with an MFM-to-SCSI adapter.  I built that computer before IBM released a PC. I was already an embedded systems engineer at that time.

The really critical attributes that you want to be flagging for action (particularly if you are a bit paranoid!) are 196, 197 and 198

The drive in question, a Samsung 840 EVO 1TB SSD (mentioned above), doesn't even report those attributes! Samsung's white paper entitled Using SMART Attributes to Estimate Drive Lifetime: Increase ROI by Measuring the SSD Lifespan in Your Workload says that "the most important indicators of drive health [on Samsung SSDs] are attributes 179, 181, 182, and 183."  I think that I'll follow Samsung's guidance -- at least the attributes they identify are actually reported by the drive.

 

Going forward, I will avail myself of this forum's "poll" feature should I seek community input on best-practices for running my Unraid server. 

 

Thank you for your input.

No problem at all; I appreciate your help.  I didn't take any action yet based on the content of the file.  I'm not in a hurry, so let me know whenever it's convenient for you.

I've got an 8-bay QNAP and it's working fine.  The Thecus, on the other hand, is pretty much abandoned with no software updates in years.  I took out the DOM, built a power cable, and attached my 1TB Samsung 840 EVO in its place.  Thecus was kind enough to pre-punch holes in the top to screw a 2.5" drive up there.  (see attached photo)

 

Looking at disk.cfg, I do wonder if deleting it would cause me to have to reconfigure a boatload of stuff.  Also, I'm not seeing any line that looks like it's related to the acknowledgement of the thumbs down health status.  But I'll have to try it later.

Thank you!  I don't rm, I mv -- momma didn't raise no fools!  My Unraid box (repurposed Thecus N5550) is doing a parity check right now, so I'll let that finish before I start experimenting, rebooting, etc.  Really appreciate the help.

No one knows?

Most SMART attribute are never reset.

Once the drive has a realocated sector, I don't think the value will go back to 0.

You are correct and that aligns with what I know about SMART attributes.  (Don't get me started about the stupidity of not being able to clear UDMA CRC errors -- which are almost always caused by bad cables or connectors.  I've got a perfectly healthy drive with a bunch of UDMA CRC errors left over from some long-ago-corrected cabling issue.)

If this is not an issue, I think this is the correct thing to do to acknowledge the issue to be alerted if the number increase once more.

 

I did acknowledge it, turning the thumbs down into a thumbs up, but then had second thoughts.  

 

Now I want to "undo" my acknowledgement so that the drive health goes back to a thumbs-down on the Dashboard.  As I wrote previously, "I want it to go back to showing thumbs down for any drive with more than 0 reallocated sectors -- like it did before I acknowledged the thumbs down on that cache drive."

 

There must be a way to return the Dashboard GUI to its default behavior.  But I've been poring over menus and config files and I'm not seeing where the reallocation count limit has been changed for that SSD.  So any help is appreciated.

 

[How to reset healthy drive override?]

Thanks, but that didn't affect the thumbs-up I am seeing on the Dashboard.  It started at a thumbs up "healthy" on the cache drive and it stayed at a thumbs up "healthy" even though there is one reallocated sector. 

 

I want it to go back to showing thumbs down for any drive with more than 0 reallocated sectors -- like it did before I acknowledged the thumbs down on that cache drive.

 

[How to reset healthy drive override?]

Sorry for the convoluted subject line.  I'll explain.  I have a 1TB SSD with a single reallocated sector.  I've set that up as my cache drive, but the Dashboard tab on Unraid was showing a thumbs-down 👎 next to "healthy" for that drive.  So I clicked on it to override it to healthy, thinking that the status going to unhealthy again will alert me to new sector reallocations.

 

But I had second thoughts and wondered how I could reset it so that it would go back to the default behavior of a thumbs-down for that SSD.  At first, I hoped it was a browser cookie, but I proved that wrong.

 

Does anyone know how to return that indicator to its normal function (thumbs down on that drive because it has a reallocated sector)?

[[Support] Linuxserver.io - Syncthing]

I have a directory within a share that I wish to sync:

/mnt/user/Unraid_Public/Sissy/Music

 

I put that path in to a clean install of the Syncthing app on my Unraid system.  I repeatedly got permission errors when mkdir tried to create the path.

 

Every single directory was drwxrwxrwx below /mnt/

I even tried changing /mnt/ with a chmod 777.  Still no joy.

 

I uninstalled Synthing thinking I would start fresh.  But then I found that uninstalling it left droppings -- /mnt/user/appdata/syncthing/ with various files and directories under it.  How is that an uninstall?

 

I'm sure that there must be simple directions somewhere, perhaps in a wiki, that explains how to sync an existing directory using Syncthing under Unraid.  This stuff of going through pages of Docker and Syncthing settings and trying to figure out what settings need to change is nuts.

[Map Drives to Physical Locations]

Fantastic!  I searched all through the menus and didn't see anything.  It never occurred to me that it would be a plugin (I only brought up Unraid a day ago).

[Map Drives to Physical Locations]

Coming from QNAP and Thecus to Unraid, I find one important feature missing:  A simple means of identifying drives by physical location in the chassis.

 

I recommend that Unraid implement a feature where a user could help Unraid construct a graphic representation of drive location by providing the following:

 

Horizontal or vertical drives?

Number of rows?

Number of columns?

Then provide a means for the user to map controllers to physical disk locations (perhaps SCSI device numbers if those don't change).

 

Examples:

 

Vertical drive orientation, 1 row, 5 columns

 

Horizontal drive orientation, 6 rows, 4 columns

 

Horizontal drive orientation, 5 rows, 1 column.

 

I am not suggesting that the Unraid GUI provide a photorealistic representation, just line drawings that repeat horizontal and vertical rectangles to represent the relative locations of drives, with red/green indicators to show drives being bad/good. 

 

Rather than having to shut down the Unraid server and pull the drives out one at a time searching for a serial number, the user could be presented with an image that showed them precisely which drive had failed.

 

I know that this would not address every possible configuration, and that various customers have mixed vertical and horizontal orientation drives, sometimes in multiple chassis.  But it would help a very large percentage of Unraid customers.

 

Note:  I recognize that there are ways to identify which drives are in which physical locations, including high-tech solutions utilizing Post-Its, label makers, sketches, etc. This is a feature request for those who find those methods lacking.
