Maybe Joe L should update unMenu for the new Powerdown. Yes, he should.

True, that's a weird char. Funny, the parser did not complain about that... Thanks for looking into. I will check it when I'm back home.

I have unMENU installed already. Don't think I'm going to install dynamix just to have this up-to-date. Will check the OP for information.

Thx Now, that it's final, how can I install it when I'm using unMENU so that it does not conflict? @nicinabox Will this be included in ControlPanel? Then the above question is obsolete.

Opening up this once again...I'm stuck in the mud. I wanted to do some improvements on this script but after rewriting I can't get it working again. I wasted an hour yesterday night and still don't see the problem - it's really f****** disappointing! So far these are the bugs: ./auto_s3_sleep.sh: line 317: syntax error near unexpected token `(' ./auto_s3_sleep.sh: line 317: ` log_message "TCP activity (30 second average): $TCPact"' I don't know why it's not working anymore! The line of code is exactly the same as in the working script but now it throws this error... When I remove the brackets it's running further to this error. root@tower:/boot# auto_s3_sleep.sh ./auto_s3_sleep.sh: line 384: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `"' ./auto_s3_sleep.sh: line 395: syntax error: unexpected end of file I compared the files with total commander. The lines are exactly the same. Although I edited with notepad+ I I fromdos'ed the file ... nope. Looks like he can't parse the hourMatch=$(echo "$noCountdownHours" | grep "$hour" | wc -l) ??? Please have a look at it! auto_s3_sleep.sh_buggy.txt auto_s3_sleep.sh_ok.txt

Yes, I know you didn't write it, but you invoke/call it out of unMENU.

It seems hard to find some info on that 1200 drive cage. How many drives fit in there? Edit: Figured it out - 4in3 cages.

Is your array coming up? Any hard disk activity? Check this thread. I have hammered myself a version of this script and it seems to work pretty well for me. There is a function post_sleep_activity that will set your NIC to GB and force a DCHP renewal. Perhaps that solves your accessibility issue through the LAN. I can vaguely remember reading about a graphics adapter issue somewhere in here. Maybe something similar is necessary to reset the graphics? I need to test my version of the auto_s3_sleep.sh because I reworked some passages and had no time to test it. The version linked above lacks a functioning ip ping and the lockfile setting. Edit: added the link about the graphics adapter

Strange problem. You mentioned that you also had the CRC errors when your drives were connected to the mainboard. When switching to the LSI controller you already changed the cabling - then it got worse. You say you have those CRC errors on multiple drives... There may be one or two defective cables but not multiple and after switching to a completely different cable (set) it is highly unprobable to have the same issue on multiple cables/drives again. Is there an electromagnetic emitter in the vicinity of your server? Maybe your PSU is the source? I would test another PSU next and after that, given the result is negative, test another mainboard.

Bump I added this to my script: [ -x /boot/smarthistory/smarthistory ] && /boot/smarthistory/smarthistory It seems it doesn't work.

Without knowing your array, this throughput seems OK for parity check! Check this.

Tooltip would be OK, but there must be some sort of a signal/impulse to cause me to hover over that drive. I will definitely not going to hover over all drives to check something... Drive green = SMART OK Drive yellow = SMART NOK? Drive red = well, ... Forgot something important. Will your GUI will be accessible only after log-in? I understand that the controls are available only after log-in and that would be OK. Is that possible? Most of the time I don't mess around with the server interface. I just have to log-in to check it's status. It's a real pain to enter the credentials every day! I don't want to save my credentials in the browser - I just like a freely accessible status page. What about that?

Ehm...how does an HDD deliver high LCC to you? (suppose you mean Life Cycle Cost?) Do you do maintenance on them? Back to topic: I don't want to say again how often I have been spamming the forum with "unresponsive GUI" and how FOOBAR such a situation can be if you're in a situation like this... ...f... I did it again. We wait and hope for 5.0.6 with the updated emhttp. I understand you did not reboot. After a reboot the GUI will probably work again. Until then you're "flying blind". Hopefully you have installed the clean powerdown script. Then just wait until your drives are idling/spun down and then powerdown -r your server. If you don't have the clean powerdown...well...you need assistance to stop and unmount before you can reboot the server. If not, you will most likely be forced to perform a parity check. Perhaps some more knowledgeable member can help you with some linux-foo to obtain more info from your console? You probably have some time until the rebuild is complete... Somewhere I read of a sequence how to restart the emhttp but I'm not sure if it works - never done it myself. After the first unclean powerdown I installed the clean powerdown script.

Here's what comes to my mind: > I don't like the idea to scroll through the page either (+1 for jumperalex) > Add the "move now" button from the mover script somewhere beneath the cache drive > While I don't know if it's possible, add some SMART info for each drive. This could be a simple OK if there is an according output from smarthistory - I don't have a log at hand or even more SMART values if it makes sense? > If info is available, you could indicate the remaining time for each drive until spindown. > You could add a frame where you can show the recent log output (perhaps a customizeable log filter like in unMENU?) > If info is available, you could indicate the number of connected clients to the server. > What about an alternative design for mobile devices? We don't have something like that! Thank you for your efforts!

How will your folder structure look like?

I have unMENU installed with the smarthistory script/plugin. A nice feature to log the SMART value changes. Unfortunately you have to trigger it manually from the unMENU GUI. My intention is to call it out of my powerdown script. What is the syntax to do this? How can I trace back what happens when I'm pressing the button on the GUI? Thanks for the help!

I'm aware of that. I don't expect anybody to work through the dump. I'm concerned about the situation when the thumbdrive is completely filled up by the dump. There might be no space for logs or settings. Therefore I would like to limit the dump file size.

OK guys, here are my flashlogs that I recorded when I flashed the last 3 H310 controllers. Sice I don't have your logs, I leave it up to you to evaluate them. Perhaps you can find a significant detail that prevents your cards from being flashed? @master.h So you were successful in flashing the P7 firmware? Have you tried the newer P17 with the according sas2flash? Flashlogs.zip

"You can't teach an old dog new tricks." I had some basic programming lessons during my studies in Turbo Pascal, C and html, but that's literally the "tip of the iceberg". I never got that deep into scripting and then they launched Windows95 and took the last bit of motivation away from me. Although I'm really willing to learn those things, It's very, very time consuming. A full time job, 2 kids and some additional real life activities don't leave much room... Considering how often I will need the knowledge in the event, I must regrettably admit that "it's not worth it". Like every other language, without practice and/or regular use it's meaningless to learn. And while speaking a language is forgiving "typos", coding is not - that keeps the learning curve pretty flat. So, the only thing that remains for me to do is to ask silly questions and be patient... Forums are a blessing imho.

I would like to have http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?action=profile;area=showposts;u=86078 more easily accessible than clicking on "Profile" -- waiting to load - klicking on "Show Posts". Perhaps as an item in "Profile" from the navbar?

For some reason a file called "core" filled up my thumb drive. Initially I had a problem with samba not starting and found the file in the root of my usb stick. After google-fu-ing today, I found http://linux.die.net/man/5/core Since I'm a nix noob I need some advice how to deal with that? My stick is only 500 MB. What is the presetting for the core dump file in unRAID? How/where can I set it to a lower value?

Solved it. Searched the forum and found this. Cost me my entire evening to solve it... Damn.

new syslog... edit: forgot to disable the new GUI...rebooting again edit: old gui, still no smb syslog_11.02.2014_samba_still_not_starting.txt

Check disk says it's ok. But I noticed a file in the root of the stick called "core" that took up the whole space (~450 MB) of my thumb drive. I deleted it, disabled all scripts and plugins but unMENU. Problem still the same...
