I bought a 2TB Seagate CMR disk to use it as parity disk and the avg speed during the parity check was around 100MB/s

No, I haven't had any issues with the disk temperature so far, so I haven't looked into it further.

It is a pain the check the Unraid dashboard on a mobile device

I can add some context why I had to use ftsteutates driver (https://docs.kernel.org/hwmon/ftsteutates.html) instead of nct6775. It seams that my motherboard (Fujitsu D3402-B21) is using a Teutates chip, not Nuvoton NCT6792D how sensors-detect is saying. Specifications of the chip can be found at the Kontron FTP Server https://ftp.kontron.com/ (username = “anonymous”, no password required) under the following path: /Services/Software_Tools/Linux_SystemMonitoring_Watchdog_GPIO/BMC-Teutates_Specification_V1.21.pdf /Services/Software_Tools/Linux_SystemMonitoring_Watchdog_GPIO/Fujitsu_mainboards-1-Sensors_HowTo-en-US.pdf I still have a problem, the Auto Fan plugin can't detect any PWM controller. Still looking for a solution.

Ugh. I really didn't want to invest in additional disks for my backup server From what I understood, it is recommended that at least the parity disks should be CMR, right?

Actually, it seams that with the new version of unRAID this plugin is not needed anymore. You can go to system devices, check the device you want to bind and click on "bind selected vfio at boot". A restart is needed after that.

I can't find "VFIO-PCI Config" into Apps Centre. I am using unRAID 6.12.8

Hello, I'm encountering a peculiar issue with my secondary unRAID server, which I'm utilizing for backup purposes. Most of the disks in use are repurposed drives, including 2 SMRs of 2TB capacity and a few CMRs (I think), around 500 GB each, originating from external hard drives. Despite these disks having satisfactory SMART reporting, I've noticed an anomaly during the parity sync process. Typically, the disk speed for all drives should hover around 110 MB/s. However, during the parity sync, I've observed an irregular pattern: initially, the speed surges to 100 MB/s and maintains this rate for approximately 10 minutes. Subsequently, it drops to approximately 60 MB/s, and after a couple more minutes, it diminishes even further. Interestingly, if I pause the parity sync for a brief period, say 5 minutes, and then resume it, the speed returns to the expected level. What steps should I take to investigate this issue further? Thank you! backup-diagnostics-20240326-1607.zip

It seams that I had to use ftsteutates for my motherboard. You can enable it by running "modprobe ftsteutates" root@Tower:~# sensors coretemp-isa-0000 Adapter: ISA adapter CPU Temp: +32.0°C (high = +80.0°C, crit = +100.0°C) Core 0: +32.0°C (high = +80.0°C, crit = +100.0°C) Core 1: +30.0°C (high = +80.0°C, crit = +100.0°C) Core 2: +31.0°C (high = +80.0°C, crit = +100.0°C) Core 3: +29.0°C (high = +80.0°C, crit = +100.0°C) pch_skylake-virtual-0 Adapter: Virtual device MB Temp: +29.5°C ftsteutates-i2c-0-73 Adapter: SMBus I801 adapter at f040 in1: 2.99 V in2: 3.02 V in3: 3.07 V in4: 2.68 V Array Fan: 720 RPM Array Fan: 1260 RPM Array Fan: 1200 RPM temp1: +32.0°C temp2: +26.0°C temp3: +23.0°C temp4: +25.0°C temp5: +25.0°C temp6: +29.0°C temp7: FAULT temp8: FAULT temp9: FAULT temp10: FAULT temp11: FAULT temp12: FAULT temp13: FAULT temp14: FAULT temp15: FAULT temp16: FAULT nvme-pci-0100 Adapter: PCI adapter Composite: +28.9°C (low = -0.1°C, high = +83.8°C) (crit = +87.8°C) Sensor 1: +31.9°C (low = -273.1°C, high = +65261.8°C) Sensor 2: +28.9°C (low = -273.1°C, high = +65261.8°C)

The weird part is tat if I have all my disk spin up, I can reach C8 power state - if I spin down them, C7 is the max state I can reach.

Hello, Did anyone solved the problem with Nuvoton not activated? I am using a similar Fujitsu motherboard (D3402) with the latest BIOS installed and I have the same problem. The nice part is that on my backup unRAID server where I am using a Fujitsu D3401 motherboard (with an old BIOS from 2017) and everything worked out of the box. Thanks!

Hello, After few tweaks I was able to reach C7 power state. What and how can I investigate to reach C8? I have an Intel i5-7400 and I am not sure if this CPU supports C8. Thanks!

It works perfectly. Thank you!

I have sent you the debug file. I also have an update. When I started a full benchmark on all disk, on my main unRAID server, the WD Red Plus disks are not taken into the benchmark. On my backup unRAID server, where I don't have any WD Red Plus drivers, the benchmark takes all the disks. I suppose it has something to do with these disks. Also, testing the controller seems to see all disk (including the WD Red Plus ones).

LE1: After more digging, this is what I found root@Tower:~# modprobe nct6775 modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'nct6775': No such device root@Tower:~# dmesg | grep -i nct [ 146.871928] nct6775: Refusing to enable a Super-I/O device with a base I/O port 0 Original: Greetings, I'm currently attempting to manage my fans, but I'm encountering some difficulties.
