New release 2020.112.04. One major feature is that starting with 6. Beta 38 (this was an internal test version), UD disk temperatures and disk spin down is handled by Unraid. The spin down delay of UD disks is now set by the Settings->DIsk Settings->Default Spin Down Delay. The disk temperature thresholds are set just the same as with an array disk. Versions earlier that 6.9 Beta 38 will have the spin down delay set by UD.
Release Notes:
All versions
- Issue with samba config file when a remote share has parenthesis in the share name. The mount was not shared properly because of the parenthesis in the share name.
- Php errors when UD disks, samba shares, or iso shares configuration parsing fails and an array is not created.
Legacy Unraid
- The 'Spin Down Disks?' setting in the UD settings was not being used.
- Encrypted disks not checked properly for spin down status.
Startig with Unraid 6.9 Beta 38
- Unraid will manage temperature monitoring and spin down control.
- You can view and change disk attributes (temperature thresholds) per disk.
- Mount remote shares at /mnt/remotes with symlinks in /mnt/disks for backwards compatibility.
- Number of reads and writes per disk are displayed. Earlier versions will show all zeros.
If you map remote shares in VMs or Docker Containers, symlinks to the remote shares at /mnt/remotes are created at /mnt/disks so you shouldn't have to make any changes to your mappings. One word of caution though is you may have to map a share and be sure there is a trialing '/'. If you mapped /mnt/disks/RemoteShare, you may need to change it to /mnt/disks/RemoteShare/ so the symlink will appear as a directory and not a file. This is dependent on how the VM or Docker treats the mapping.
