Humor me try another browser? or computer?

That is weird. I have 24 sensors, What is your bios and ipmi versions? mine are: Mobo: X10SL7-F Firmware Revision : 01.92 Firmware Build Time : 03/16/2015 BIOS Version : 3.0 System LAN1 BIOS Build Time : 04/24/2015

You should see all sensors not only cpu + all fans FAN1 - A. Try scrolling down maybe?

edit: I moved my issue here, as it appears to be issue with the unbalance and not diskmv. http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=39707.msg417146#msg417146

FAN1-4: is controlled automatically by CPU temperature by IPMI/Supermicro crap system. FANA: is controlled independently by System temperature, whatever that is. I changed thresholds using ipmitool remotely all to 0. So at 0 the motherboard will try to speed fans up only then... I am controlling the fans myself. I connected CPU FAN + My case fans to FAN1 --> and controlling this by speedfan (run pwmcontrol tool) my /etc/fancontrol is as follows: INTERVAL=10 DEVPATH=hwmon1=devices/platform/coretemp.0 hwmon4=devices/platform/nct6775.2608 DEVNAME=hwmon1=coretemp hwmon4=nct6776 FCTEMPS=hwmon4/pwm2=hwmon1/temp1_input FCFANS= hwmon4/pwm2=hwmon4/fan1_input MINTEMP=hwmon4/pwm2=20 MAXTEMP=hwmon4/pwm2=60 MINSTART=hwmon4/pwm2=100 MINSTOP=hwmon4/pwm2=50 MINPWM=hwmon4/pwm2=50 MAXPWM=hwmon4/pwm2=255 Above takes care of CPU + Systemfan Now to control my 3 HDD array fans I use the Dynamix Auto Fan Control. What the plugin doesnt tell you it only bases itself by HDD temperature Config as follows: http://i.imgur.com/VhDnCXk.png[/img] You can test things out by doing echo [some pwm value] > into into /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon4/pwm1 or appropriate sensor... Be careful as when I was stress testing my cpu by default supermicro board didnt spin up fans fast enough to cool cpu. It got dangerously close. Thats why I am using speedfan to control cpu fan.

Where can I find the "Minimum Free Space" setting? I only see one inside a particular share settings.

So I am moving alot of data to unraid. My Movies folder is set to Cache YES. I am copying several TB of data. My cache drive filled up and my windows prompted me there is not enough space left. My first thought was that well.... unraid would start writing to HDD directly instead of SSD. is this not the case? Also mover wasn't invoked automatically. Does this mean that I cannot copy anything to unraid until I call mover and it completes its work?

Coming from another nas solution I was wondering if it is possible to set up PER user quota? Example: Share: Time Machine Backup User A can write up to 500GB User B can write up to 250GB User C can write up to 500GB All users are connecting to same share but have set limits. Currently I see you can set limit per share which is not ideal, I would like to have one share dedicated to TM backups.

My guess is that you would be able to use Link Aggregation Protocol. I haven't set it up yet as I just got my unraid build, but I will be setting it up later. What would happen is if you have 2 machines reading or writing from/to unraid you would essentially double your bandwidth 2gbps instead of 1. BUT Link Aggregation doesn't work on single link (single file transfer) you would have to be using 2 machines accessing unraid to take advantage. My guess is also that it won't work for reading from single hard drive as it would be your bottleneck. Maybe someone who has experience with unraid can correct me.

I was hoping someone can help me. I just built my first unraid server and installed my first docker. Syncthing. I have a share /sync/media/ All folders and and files created by syncthing inside are given permissions 700 so noone can access files from smb/nfs etc.... Anyone know how to fix this besides me manually going in and chmoding all files every time they are updated?

So this is cool... I think I may have learned something new, It looks like unraid maxes out my gigabit, until it fills up the ram, then drops to HDD speeds, is this how unraid uses ram? Does this mean if i have more ram it will sustain these speeds longer? Copying 30GB file into unraid(Cache drive off) Sustained speeds with cache drive on This is pretty impressive for cold movie storage I have a couple of questions if any of you have any knowledge of this: 1. Is there a way to monitor the mover progress? 2. I tried looking around these forums and couldn't find an answer, is there a way to convert a vmware vm and import it into unraid vm?

I am having this issue as well. I tried digging into the code also, but I literally just built my first unraid build a day ago and not familiar with it yet. On the side note is there a tutorial/getting started guide for unraid plugin devs? or at least something that describes the structure of plugins?

Heh regarding fans, I figured an awesome way to move the wall out so it's not a problem to work on stuff You just unscrew the sides and bottom and move the wall back and forth as needed. For SAS roms current config is: 2x m1015 reflashed to PH20 without OPTION ROM [/size]Builtin SAS card flashed to PH20 including option ROM, i didnt want to mess with that. [/size]In bios stuff is set to GEN2 [/size]Option ROM for builtin SAS - Disabled.

I have made some progress and almost done with this build. Things I have learned: 1. After reflashing both of m1015s to IT mode without option rom, i learned that that didn't matter and the culprit is onboard option rom/card. It's dumb the moment you enable onboard option rom it kills one or both of m1015s. So if you do want to run option rom then you have to disable onboard one and then boot from m1015 one. Meh... whatever... 2. Supermicro Mobo temperature control features are a BITCH, you can't do much at all.... things I have learned here: * SM Sets fan rpm wat too low and fans by default are spinning at 300RPM which can kill some of your components. * FANS1-4 Are controlled by supermicro using CPU temperature... badly..... I almost fried my CPU by running prime95 to see if fans spin up temps went up to 60C. * Another thing is that the temperature thresholds on CPU sensor on SM are set to 100C WTF!? * If you do want to control your temperatures and set fan curves you gotta use fancontrol package. <-- this works really well, I have no idea why noone has made plugin for unraid yet.... maybe I will... for now I am starting it in /boot/go file by myself. * FANA on SM motherboard is separate and controlled by separate PWM controller which is awesome for HDD fan array. * I realized that dynamix plugin autofan is actually based on HDD temperatures and NOT "system"/mobo temperatures as it says so in description. what gives? * this system IS bedroom silent Things to take away from this Use good quality fans If using Supermicro Motherboard, install LM-Sensors package and use fancontrol to control your CPU fan and your Back fan (FAN1-4) are all tied to single PWM controller Hook up fan array to FANA, and use dynamix autofan plugin to control those fans Lower IPMI CPU threshold to realistic temperatures to actually get alerts if something does go wrong with CPU fan. Put FAN IPMI thresholds to 0 or something lower than your fan control software, so you dont get that annoying spinup/spin down cycle from SM, if your fans will start to fail that threshold will try to spin fans up(and will send you email) which is cool. Disable onboard SAS option rom Set m1015 pcie speed to GEN 2 Changed CPU heatsink with newer version of Noctua fan, it fits perfectly on the back of the motherboard, I guess they did revise their mounting brackets. http://i.imgur.com/2j8AZl8.jpg[/img] trying to get rid of mess of the cables http://i.imgur.com/d8eshFa.jpg[/img] http://i.imgur.com/b4DEEUx.jpg[/img] http://i.imgur.com/R7sjTpL.jpg[/img] I still have to get the last power cable then I will hook up the last backplane. http://i.imgur.com/B1zHuC6.jpg[/img]

Regarding fans, I installed Fan Auto Control plugin but it wouldnt detect PWM controller, untill I ran modprobe ipmi-si modprobe coretemp modprobe w83627ehf but now it seems this plugin doesnt use HDD temperature as a value. Does anyone know what sensor it uses?

That's so cool! Same setup Muahahhaha I "fixed" it somehow..... I want a rock solid system, I guess I will see what's going on after I preclear those drives, I have no idea how long it takes. I am still in contact with SM, TUMS what bios version do you have? I have 3.0. Did you check your setting for GEN X for the m1015? By the way, how do you control your fans based on HDD temperature?

That's what I figured, but if we go by bios settings all oproms should be disabled But it appears not to be the case I guess once the hdds are done preclearing I will do more tests... maybe I will flash m1015 to JUST IT with no oprom and see if I can still control them with onboard one.

Wow... lots of adventures here I ran into big trouble booting the system with m1015 controllers installed... So I insert two cards in try to boot and get this error message: mpt bios fault 01h encountered at adapter pci (01h 00h 00h) http://i.imgur.com/Q73zclA.png[/img] I can still go into the SAS config but I wont see the onboard controller anymore: (note on this pic i only had one card inserted not two, in case of two cards i see both) http://i.imgur.com/4BNSTNF.png[/img] Now If I remove the cards then I see onboard controller: http://i.imgur.com/pjnPyNy.png[/img] I contacted Supermicro support and so far they have been super nice. The contact gave me new firmware for LSI controller PH20 to match my m1015s but that didnt solve the issue. I have received new bios for the mobo from support afterwards but I wasnt able to reflash the mobo, not sure why. Meanwhile after much tinkering in the bios I got this working:.... Maybe... not sure if I screwed something up or not. http://i.imgur.com/IOGEQBK.png[/img] What I did was: I went to PCIE config and changed CPU SLOT6 GEN X to Gen2 (m1015 is gen 2 apparently) This got rid of the error 01h.... http://i.imgur.com/OHbv5sw.png[/img] Then in order to get all 3 controllers to show up I had to disable onboard SAS OPROM option as well as SLOT6 and SLOT5 oprom options: http://i.imgur.com/MSsC1in.png[/img] So.... I have no idea what I did... My guess is that SM was not detecting the speed of PCIE for the cards properly? Also I disable booting from optionroms? but the funny thing is that it still boots using OPROM... weird... I replied to the SM guy and I will see what they say. Reason I wanted option rom is to have staggered startup of HDDS on power on, but I guess it doesnt matter with unraid since when you start array it still spins up all drives at once? Maybe it's better to disable/reflash all cards without option rom? Anyway right now I am doing preclear on all 7 disks I have and it's going at 185MB/s... after 12 hours it's only on step2 (42%) of 10 on 5TB drives

Can you elaborate on this? The fans in my case sound like they are cycling fast/slow. They are 4-pin fans with PWM connected to my SM S10XL7-F. I knew something was wrong when fans were doing their funny thing. Login into IPMI interface via web and check sensors/logs/health page thing you do will see that fans in question show red/orange thing next to them. You can also show threshold to know what current limits are. You can adjust the values like described in this post I had a spare linux vm so that was easy. https://calvin.me/quick-how-to-decrease-ipmi-fan-threshold/

So I booted the system up and it's indeed DEAD silent with the exception of stock CPU cooler. I did run into another issue with supermicro ipmi and had to reconfigure fan thresholds because they kept spinning up and down (very annoying) because the thresholds were set to about 400rpm and fans were spinning at ~ 300. I am hoping I would be able to control the fans properly with some sort of script from unraid based on HDD temperature. Also how does one set CPU fan speeds? Another thing motherboard did come with IR firmware for the raid controller so I flashed it to IT mode.

Anywho, I returned it to Amazon, and ordered another newer model of this fan (NH-U9S), newer model seems to have a better narrower bracket. Will see how that goes. In regards to overclocking and overkill fan, this fan will allow fans to spin at much lower rpm and still keeping the CPU nice and cool even if I will be using plex server etc... At the same time the heat from HDDS will be coming into the main chamber which has to be taken into account. So big heatsink + low RPM fans = still nice and cool + longer component live. In any case this fan looks stupidly tiny compared to Noctua NH-D14 which I have in my main gaming rig

Holes line up perfectly, it's just on bottom right the rubbery part of the bracket sits on top of some tiny components of the back of the board, and I have no idea if pressure of the bracket can damage the board.

Stock cooler is way too loud, I am obsessed with quiet

oh oh... I am in trouble it seems that the CPU cooler is not compatible with this mobo!? what gives!? It seems that the area designated marked area is narrower and the bracket kinda overlays some of the components. Cooler is NH-U9B SE2 http://i.imgur.com/mLlrBx3.jpg[/img] http://i.imgur.com/RmATB69.jpg[/img] This is a first! I emailed Noctua to see what's going on, this is strange!
