Works great for me - I've got 20 drives running off it and the MV8 cards. Here's my syslog, running for a month without a reboot and before then was only because I was installing add-ins: http://hizost.com/d/p0

Thanks very much guys, I understand it now. Maybe put a link to these explanations in the first page of this thread(?), as I pointed a lot of people to this script and almost all of them had no idea what to make of the resulting smart 'alerts' at the end of the script.

Thanks, So basically, we need to be looking at the VALUE WORST THRESH values and not the RAW values (except for re-allocated sectors, sectors pending re-allocation, and drive temperature)? And for the normal values (non raw) higher is better?

Hey Joe, I searched for info on this, but couldn't find any definitive answer. Does the seek_error_rate value have any indication of a failing drive? A friend showed me his preclear smart report and it had a value of 146,xxx,xxx pre-read and 149,xxx,xxx post-read. I originally told him seek_error_rate could be an indication of a bad drive as I thought I read that somewhere, but now I can't find it. Then I later found this post by you: About the only RAW values you can interpret yourself are those for re-allocated sectors, sectors pending re-allocation, and drive temperature. And I found a couple seagates in my array that had similar high values, but all the others had zeros. So my question is, do we need to worry about seek_error_rate? Should we RMA drives that have high values for those (especially in the millions)? Thanks, Shawn

Thank you very much! I upgraded to 1.3 unMenu. And it makes sense why powerdown didn't work, I only ran 'powerdown'. I should be able to handle issues like this from now on I'll use unMenu to stop the array and the stock to start it and if need be I'll run the /sbin/powerdown command.

Thank you Joe. I of course refreshed the stock unraid page several times and during that hour it continually said "Stopping...", so I guess it really would have taken forever Then I remembered something about the unMenu stop feature being better, so I tried to do that but it wouldn't even load up tower:8080 anymore. So in case this ever happens again and I forget to use unMenu stop, do you know what telnet command the unMenu stop executes so I can execute that manually if I am locked out of unMenu again? Anyway, thanks for the help and I'll update my unMenu to 1.3, I have 1.2 right now. Thanks

Is using the stop button in unMenu safer than the stop button in the default unraid management console? I was running 8 instances of preclear - probably too many in retrospect, and when they finished I wanted to shutdown because one of them failed and I wanted to pull that drive out. So I went to the default console, hit stop (all telnet windows were closed) and it just said "stopping..." for like an hour. I finally telneted in and typed powerdown and I heard a beep in the case, but it never powered down. Eventually I just had to hold the power button down and that worked. But of course, I was forced to do a parity check upon reboot. Everything is ok now, but I'd like to be able to avoid such a problem in the future. Will using the unMenu stop button help, and/or should I be using the ls-R hack? Any other suggestions? Thanks

It worked! Too easy thank you!! I was over thinking it

What is the code to use to install a package at each reboot? Would it be something like: installpkg /boot/custom/package-name.tgz as long as package-name.tgz was in the custom folder? And would it go in the 'go' script? Thanks, still trying to learn

I guess I'll be the guinea pig and try it myself

I like this card because of the pcix slots so I can the mv8 cards to their potential. Will this board work with unraid? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813182143 The chipsets are Intel® X38 / ICH9R I looked at the hardware compatibility and there doesn't seem to be much info on either one unless I'm doing it wrong. Thanks

Would it be just adding this to my go script? installpkg /boot/custom/unweb.tgz As long as unweb.tgz was copied to /boot/custom/ ?

Sorry if this has been asked but is there a way to keep unraid-web (lighttpd) installed permanently even after reboots? Can someone tell me how to do this? Thanks

I installed this of yours instead: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=3354.0 and it does exactly what I needed - to stream files to the pch via HTTP. Now I just have to figure out if the server restarts itself after a reboot, but Ill figure it out. Thanks for creating these.

Thank you! Works perfect. And thanks very much Bubba for creating it!
