Hi!
Maybe someone can clarify whats going on with my Unraid because i been trying to figure this out for almost 3 days now without luck.
I managed to setup a backup script with user scripts, set mount/unmount scripts and also set a WOL cronjob on my UDM.
I tested manually and it worked fine, BUT only when i put Unraid to sleep with the "Sleep" button in dashboard. This way i can send WOL fine and it wakes up as needed.
But when i use S3sleep plugin, for whatever reason it does not work. I have to press the physical button on the device to wake up again.
i made sure that the NIC is using "g" and everything seems to be set correctly but still i cant get it to work.
Does the plugin do something different besides monitoring activity etc. rather than using the sleep button?
Maybe i could get it to work with userscripts and have it monitor array and network activity as well but i dont know how to script that tbh..
ANY advice appreciated.
TIA!
*EDIT
I might be wrong with my assumption - i think it is related to how long sleep mode is active. If the server is in sleep for like 30-50mins i noticed the WOL is not working. When i check ARP table on my UDM i can see that the server is showing up with the IP but in "HWadress" it shows incomplete.
i assume that the NIC is going in a sort of sleep mode? I know how to prevent this in windows but how do i do it in Unraid?
S3 is enabled but i have not found a specific WOL setting in this bios. i am using a Mini PC from CWWK and it actually has a ton of BIOS options but no WOL setting. It should be enabled tho since it works if Unraid is not in sleep for that long.
