Mostly for temperature fan control. Have it as an additional temperature point to base the fan curves off of.

Thanks for updating this! When I was first setting up my server I don't think I knew about the original plugin I was using a docker container app and I modified it to take in temp readings from my Nvidia gpu using nvidia-smi. Do you think that can be done with this?

Also at a high level I know that Unraid is ran on RAM, but if the USB was overheating that could cause issues like this correct?

Thanks. I had to force restart as nothing was responding. I think I found the issue however. I did notice increased temps in my servers new location, so I moved my cache ssd from the back of the server to the front to prevent it from overheating. The back drives do get a bit hot, and it looks yesterday everything was not responding due to things getting too hot. I have additional scripts to increase fan speed but it might not been enough. The temps of my CPU and drives got a bit warm but nothing I would think that would cause these issues, however I just thought that maybe the flash drive got too hot as it is located within the machine... Does temperature issues/correlations show up anywhere in the logs to confirm?

@JorgeB I just got another diagnostic dump since I saw my server was (and still is) almost completely unresponsive for the past hour or so. Could there be any sign of any reason why between the two diagnostics? brooksnook-diagnostics-20230816-1921.zip

@JorgeB I appreciate the response. While that is collecting data, anything else out of the ordinary? I did notice before while dealing with networking changes that the server would get less responsive while UpdateFlashBackup was going, although I was making a lot of system changes so it was understandable. Any idea why it ran every couple of hours while I had the server untouched? Also, as mentioned I had network changes. I updated my pfSense settings to VLANs, but I should have an allow all traffic rule for it so not sure what could be the issue there. I now have my server on a managed switch so I was able to get 802.3ad set up. Initially I had a 8 port SFP+ switch, but turns out you can't do auto navigation with SFP ports so Unraid didn't like that, but I have since swapped that out and haven't seen any major logs about networking since. So not sure if there still is something odd there that is causing it. Finally, I enabled local syslog. Should I just let it run for the day and post that file only or just do another diagnostic dump?

Hello, I recently moved and had to re-set up my server. For the most part there didn't seem to be any issues after booting everything up, but I also was upgrading my network in the new home so I initially had some network issues. I feel like I solved most of them and now I am not seeing any abnormal logs, but my server just seems to lock up every once in a while. The CPU/RAM usage looks okay, and I don't see any crazy issues. I do see some odd stuff like this flash backup error pop up more than usual flash_backup: adding task: /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/dynamix.my.servers/scripts/UpdateFlashBackup update Fix common problems says that there was a machine check error, but I couldn't see it in the logs. Any help? brooksnook-diagnostics-20230815-2229.zip

Thankfully found a solution in a different thread. To anyone who see's this and wants to do this all through Unraid (I've seen others boot up TrueNAS in order to use sedutil), I did these steps: First try: sg_format --format --fmtpinfo=0 /dev/<drive> But if that does not work and you get an error such as we did "Data protect" move to the next steps Set "libata.allow_tpm" to "1" as mentioned in the sedutil README https://github.com/Drive-Trust-Alliance/sedutil/blob/master/README.md Following Unraid's Boot Codes https://wiki.unraid.net/Boot_Codes edit your "syslinux.cfg" file in an editor of your choice On whichever OS option you boot from append as stated in the wiki to the append line ex: "append initrd=bzroot libata.allow_tpm=1" Save and reboot (Optional) Double check value was set at: /sys/module/libata/parameters/allow_tpm Install sedutil as mentioned in the attached comment (download linux, copy over, installpkg) Navigate to CLI (for me location changed, no GNU-Linux) "cd /sedutil/Release_x86_64/" To test run "sedutil-cli --scan" (other info within .txt https://github.com/Drive-Trust-Alliance/sedutil/blob/master/linux/PSIDRevert_LINUX.txt) Run command: sedutil-cli --yesIreallywanttoERASEALLmydatausingthePSID <PSIDALLCAPSNODASHES> /dev/<drive> If getting auth error such as "Session Authenticate failed (response = false)" PSID is most likely wrong (different error wording than .txt) Confirm sedutil-cli worked: "revertTper completed successfully) Repeat Step 1 and then you should be able to format/pre-clear! (most likely, my sg_format is still running) Hope this helps and thanks everyone for the ongoing help!

Sorry to tag along on this thread and hello JorgeB again lol. I got a couple more drives from the same place I did last time but as these threads suggested `sg_format` did not work. Saw this and wanted to try `sedutil-cli` on Unraid 6.9.2 but it says the command is not found. What is the proper way to get this utility on Unraid, I couldn't find a clear answer in my searches.

Thank you so much JorgeB! With that thread and the replied command: sg_format --format --fmtpinfo=0 /dev/<drive> I was able to format all 4 drives, to which now they were able to be formatted by the Unraid array operation. This puts me so much at ease. Thanks!!!

Hello! I am new to the server stuff. I got a Dell PowerEdge r720XD with x1 800GB SAS SSD and x4 3TB SAS HDD. My r720XD came with a H710 mini RAID controller which I found out doesn't support pass through natively to allow for Unraid to control the drives (to my understanding). So I followed this guide to cross-flash the controller and I didn't have any issues. After that I finally got Unraid set up (found out that r720XD didn't like my USB 3.0 drive) and it seemed everything was working. I set up my array with the 1 of the HDD as parity and the other 3 as disk drives, then the SSD as cache. I started the parity-sync but it was estimating 60+ days to finish and there were hundreds of errors piling up for the 3 disk drives. I stopped it, and tried to format since they said they weren't formatted correctly but the formatting would end without doing anything. Without finding any solutions, I wasn't sure if I needed to format drives through the bios before using, but found out due to cross flashing I couldn't get to the drive configurations. Reverted my card back using the cross-flashing docks, tried Unraid again but this time nothing showed up. I re-cross-flashed again and the drives re-appeared, but now when I assign a hard drive (no issue with ssd) the drive disappears from the assigned disk, the Disk remains "unassigned" and the drive is gone from the unassigned list so I am unable to see it through the UI. I tried some commands in the terminal and it said there was problems reading it and other I/O issues. This is all kind of new to me so its hard for me to track down what is the actual issue. Is the hard drives not correct (I noticed now it says in the description it requires a H700 controller which I cross flashed)? Is the connection between the hard drives not right (didn't really think of "cabling" when I got the server, figured it was slide in and I was good)? Something wrong with my cross-flashing? Something I need to re-enable in BIOs? So many potentials, I definitely need help. Thanks. tower-diagnostics-20220409-1708.zip
