Loving System AutoFan, but have one small issue when rebooting. I've tried searching to see if this has been answered, so apologies if it has.
When I reboot the server, the drives typically get different assignments. Example: Drive1 in the array may have been '/dev/sdd' then after a reboot it's '/dev/sde' - unfortunately since AutoFan uses these assignments in the exclude list, that exclude list will inevitably be changed after a reboot and cause the list to be wrong.
Case in point... I have 4 fans mapped to exclude all but the array drives, but after a reboot there's at least one excluded drive that swaps its drive assignment with an array drive. The last time I rebooted, the exclusion list swapped the cache drive with Disk1, which caused the fans to stop even while Disk1 was still spun up.
At first I thought maybe it would be possible to keep drive assignments the same after a boot, but apparently it's not possible -
- and then I wondered if it were possible if the exclude list in AutoFan used either the drive name or serial number so that it was less affected by a reboot.
If I've made any sense, feedback would be appreciated. Is there something I'm not doing right, or is this just the way it is?
Thanks!
