Yes, I'll cut over to v6 eventually too With 20+ machines / 70+ HDDs, I need an HDSentinel-based solution as it's tough to monitor all that, and the enterprise variant shows all drives on one screen. HDS rocks by the way - surface testing shows soft sectors and their locations so I can watch the drives age and replace before they die. Two drives have soft cylinders so have repartitioned them to only use the good areas - not on unraid though!

Thanks for your help. My error was thinking unraid was 64-bit rather than 32-bit. It turns out that HDSentinel has execute bits set when copied over from Windows, and it runs fine from the USB key - a relief! If someone could advise how to make HDSentinel start automatically, that would be cool. To see its output in HDSentinel server on a Windows machine, I need to find out how to make it talk on port 61230. Does unraid ship with a firewall active? Sample output from an out of date unraid test server attached. Cheers Judy HDS.txt

Thanks for the rapid reply. The linked website says to 'double click to open and decompress it to any folder ' I tried that first under windows then copied the unzipped file to /boot chmod 755 .HDS sudo ./HDS but get the same 'cannot execute binary file'. And how does one arrange for it to auto-start at boot please?

Yup, it's 5 years since the last post I'm running HDSentinel Enterprise to monitor SMART info for all my Windows machines and would like to monitor unraid drives too. I'm struggling to install HDSentinel under unraid 5.0-rc12a and woudl be grateful for guidance. Instructions at http://www.hdsentinel.com/hard_disk_sentinel_linux.php are terminal-based but suggest chmod 755 ./HDS.zip sudo ./HDS.zip etc. HDS.zip is in /boot, chmod works then running it gives 'cannot execute binary file' So what am I missing please? And how would I make it auto-start at boot time please? Many thanks, Judy
