Hi .... can someone 'educate' me as to why the wakeonlan package installs itself at every reboot? On cheking my syslogs following a strange crash this evening and finding wakeonlan and assocaited modules as the first entries in the log following the crash i then checked back to see genuine reloads and it seems to be being installed at every reboot, just wondering why and trying to undesratnd the reasons for my crash. Anyone any ideas?

This is still a problem for me, drives permanently in an 'up' state ... diagnostics attached as requested. Update .... my drive spindown is being interrupted by SMART reads to each disk every hour which spins them back up. What controls this timing? I'm assuming i dont need SMART checks every hour on the hour but cant find a setting to adjust anywhere???

Many thanks to @wgstarks @TexasDaddy for their assistance. Embarassingl for me, on opening my case to look for BMC mac address 'sticker' i found that IPMI jumper setting was set to 'disabled' (why oh why!) so when i moved the shunt everything was revealed, voila!! An easy mistake to make, oops! So ... with ipmi set up correctly ive moved on to fan control via this plugin and i havent a clue. Anyone care to post up a couple of screenshots of their settings on a SM x10 board preferably? I think i've managed to get through the screens but i fall down when it comes to the fan control config editor which when i pick 'sensors' from the dropdown list shows absolutely nothing to edit, should it? Or do i have to populate an empty base file. If so, how? As my board has dual cpus how do these work alongside this plugin? There are nine fan inputs (1-6, A-C) with two currently unused but to be allocated to onboard coolers as a second fan on each. Assistance so far has been invaluable, thanks.

Thankyou! I'll open things up and take a look. If i remember there was a manufacturer sticker on there. Any idea of whther i'm safe to reset BMC without it affecting anything else, i'm becoming paranoid. I cant get the parity to stick, disks to spin down and now the fans!!

Anyone able to help me set up my ipmi? I can't identify the ipmi Mac address so don't see a way if assigning a local IP without this. Board is an X10DRI-LN4+ with ipmi. Is it wise to reset the BMC itself which appears to be the only other option in the bios? Will this affect the running of my server in any way or is the BMC independent? Still learning about these SM boards and, like others, need to get control of the fan's back 'in house' ... thx!

Where's the MAC address though? IP I can set in bios ...

SM X10DRi-LN4+ board. How do i identify my IPMI address? Been into bios, but seems it needs a mac address to go alongside my allocating a static IP, does that sound about right? Cant see a mac address anywhere though ... whats the procedure for setting things up?

I'm still learning, not that many times i need to ask for advice ... tower-diagnostics-20210418-1935.zip

Tried all of the so called fixes to do with removing suspected plugins and drives still wont spin down. Is this related to the fact that i cant spin down my fans either (supermicro x10dri-ln4+ mobo). Appeasr this board has no pwm controller, what the f***. Anyone sorted this one also? What with not being able to post a valid parity and now these problems, maybe time to rebuild on a different setup.

I've noticed this in the logs, no idea if it's relevant or not, anyone know what it means? 'kernel: pmd_set_huge: Cannot satisfy [mem 0xc0000000-0xc0200000] with a huge-page mapping due to MTRR override' Not being flagged as anything worthy of an error or even a warning but reads that way? MTRR override??

So .... it just sits there for the time being? All new stuff this to me ... had unraid for years, rock solid till now. I thought about going to 6.9.2 but cant really see any correlation in the changelogs but if it is still happening on the latest release then i'd find out, yes?

Now raised as a bug report (SimonF), first time for me. Still happening .... random run times following parity start and parity check speeds drop like a stone. Telling info is in syslogs and diagnostics posted up.

And again following reboot, one further attempt a parity check .... tower-diagnostics-20210416-1830.zip

Hi ... i've been trying to parity check my recently built system after loading the data for the past couple of nights. Each time the system has hung and needed to be hard booted to restore access so parity is never being established. Today i set up a syslog server and 'babysat' a fresh attempt and one third into the parity check at approx 35% it began to 'die' with the time needed to complete dropping dramatically to a point of 8 days and a speed of 8.2 MB/s. At that point i paused it (it was never able to be resumed) and dumped the diagnostics as attached. Looks like it hit a kernel panic ... anyone any ideas? tower-diagnostics-20210416-1547.zip

Anyone any ideas on this appearing in syslog .... bear in mind i have only just installed ipmi plugin in anattempt to sort out fan problems on my x10dri-ln4f which seems to have no pwn control that i can latch on to ... 'kernel: x86/PAT: ipmi-sensors:62796 map pfn expected mapping type uncached-minus for [mem 0x796aa000-0x796aafff], got write-back' these errors just fill the syslog until the system eventually becomes unresponsive necessitating a reboot. Hve now disable plugin and messages stopped. Any ideas anyone?

Thanks ... i've tried that but my 'mount' isnt doing its stuff for some reason ... checked in syslog and just timing out > 10s! Error connecting to socket??? <update ... fixed>

New question guys ... my movies are on a network share. How do i set up plex to access that share? I've tried to set up another 'Path' within the docker but cant see my network share at all? I'm going to feel really stupid i just know it ....

Hi ... this is a mahoosive thread to read through! Last time i needed to read up to around 70 pages worth. Can i quickly ask, does the autofan plugin support X10DRi-LN4F dual xeon, mine shows no dynamix fan controller, no 'Detect' option either, just grayed out? Strange, cos my other two SM single cpu motherboards are working after a fashion. Just wondering. edit < tried sensor-detect after reading through a few more pages and nothing found, no NCT entries either. What are Supermicro users using to control fans?>

All sorted now, up and running on both E5-2683v4 cpus and now have 96GB of ram and 32 cores to play with, sweet! Did have a few bad ram sticks cos in total i should have 160gb but heyho ... cant win them all with second hand hardware is suppose. Thanks to all who helped me along ... uldise, SimonF and others.

Managed to drag up the system on one stick of ram and one 'older' v3 cpu. Now i need a bios update ... but how? Ive posted up a separate question on this sub forum, it might get moved on hows the best way to get to at leats version 2.0 which is needed to support v4 cpus which i have. all suggestions welcome ...

thanks guys ... i'm using RDIMMS which are all ecc from the tested memory list for the board, they are DDR4-2666 but i'm thinking that to use v4 cpuz this board needs to be on a later bios than maybe it is and that this could be the issue with the memory also. Spec for the board only says that DDR2400 is supported but surely the board should clock memory down? I dont expect it to run at 2666, just 2400. to check this out i've grabbed a fourset of DDR4-2133 memory which IS within spec and a couple of lower V3 spec cpus just in case i need them to get past the POST assuming i can get it to post, maybe not, then i can update bios and retry. This extra memory and cpuz can go into another case so nothing lost there. The board and fans do power up and onscreen gives the PIE error message but theres no power to usb ports front or back, is that normal as the board DOES have power. Is usb not available until after POST, anyone know?

Not getting past POST ... 'PEI Intel Reference Code Execution error B7' ... seems my memory is shot in some way. Must admit i'm using DD4-2666 mobo supports DDR2400 or so it says but i'd exepect it to be able to underclock or does it matter? Anyway i've grabbed a few sticks of DD£-2133 lets get back to basics and will give them a go when they arrive. It's becoming an expensive build ... quick question ... should my usb keyboard receive power if the board itself is powered although not POSTing, cos mine isnt, just another thing to keep my eye on.

I like how it toggles on/off ...

I'm not seeing anything anywhere, where shoudl i be looking for this elusive search tab? < forget it, i'm an idiot, its staring me right in the face, d'oh !!>
