Thanks, I haven't messed with docker yet. Guess it's a good time to start.

Yeah, what's the trick?

This autofan plugin looks like it should work similar to a script I wrote several years ago to control the fan based on hdd temps. Is that what it is supposed to do?

I installed it but it will not detect my fan (/sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/device/pwm2). Would be really nice to have this in the web gui, I guess this addon is still a work in progress? Until then I guess I'll stick with my script.

Please post the result of this command:
find -L /sys/class/hwmon/ -maxdepth 5 -iname "pwm[0-9]" 2>/dev/null
Here you go:
/sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/device/pwm1
/sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/device/pwm2
/sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/device/pwm3
Those are the three possible pwm controls from my it87 board.
Ok, I need one last command output:
find /sys/devices -iname "hwmon[0-9]" -exec echo {} \; -exec ls -la {} \;

There you go, hope that helps.

My pwm controls used to be under /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/device/, but sometime during the V6 beta cycle it changed to /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon2/.

I mention this simply because it may be that you're loading an older driver yourself instead of using a later one as included in the unRAID image.

This is not possible the way kernel and module versioning work, unless I want to bypass the checks which is something I would recommend never doing. In any case, it87 has been included in unraid for a while now and there is no need for me to compile my own module anymore.

Slight bug in the Temp plugin. When my fan is off and should be showing 0rpm, I get "##rpm" at the bottom of the web gui. Also, while the fan is off, if I go to that plugin's settings page the fan field will show "Not Used". Othwise if I set my fan to any speed other than 0, it will show up at the bottom as well as in the settings page.

It appears that the plugin is auto-hiding any fans that are powered down or appear not connected. Wouldn't it be more useful to have all possibilities listed and then let the user pick the correct one?

But main issue is the "##?rpm" erroneously showing at the bottom when it should be "0 rpm".

I love the work you have put in to this web interface and hope that helps!

You have to make sure that the appropriate drivers for your motherboard are loaded, then autodection should work.

I'm using the plugin and it is working well for me.

Thanks PeterB, as stated I am using my script still which implies I already have the module loaded and can control my fan on this system I even listed my fan device "/sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/device/pwm2". I'll look around at this plugin and see if I can fix it because having it in the web gui is an awesome idea!

Wow thanks for all the replies guys. Got 5 people saying the same thing over and over again lol.

To answer the question on why I zapped the partition tables (zap through gdisk, basically deleting it all). That disk was still showing as mbr-unaligned and it was the only way to get it aligned again as simply formatting to btrfs through the web gui did not change it. OCD I know I was also thinking the web gui might change it over to gpt on a fresh new format but I was mistaken. I guess it doesn't for 2tb drives.

For the other disks I'll change them as you guys state, only through the web interface, as to not invalidate parity. Thanks again!

EDIT: Man, it's checking and correcting parity at 11MB/sec and will finish in 3 days. Is there no way to make it go faster? I seem to remember the initial parity build being faster.

Upgraded to the 6 beta finally and love the new look. Here are a couple of issues I have noticed so far:

-the dark theme does not show grayed out text fields in a way that you can know they are unusable.

-I zapped the partition table of an empty array drive, changed it's filesystem to btrfs in the unraid interface and then started the array. As expected I needed to format it which I did. Everything came online and looks good EXCEPT....parity is still showing as "valid" which seems incorrect. Sure enough, I started a parity check and millions of errors being corrected so it looks like it is basically rebuilding parity.

Shouldn't it state parity is invalid after a filesystem change in such a way? If someone doesn't run a check they may assume parity is good when it is not.

I'll give you two hints.

https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Btrfs_design#Snapshots_and_Subvolumes

Is this something unraid is being designed to support down the line? Are its btrfs volumes set up as a subvolume by default to allow for snapshotting? I guess I'll find out soon enough as I am preparing my unraid system for the 6 upgrade. Will probably start eith making the cache drive btrfs.

Only you who knows the secret string can link up your shares. But it does have some sort of open tracker so that your computers can connect across the internet (which I think you can even disable). I still keep my password files and vpn key files encrypted just in case.
