don't start it using "at". In other words, it is queuing itself to be started later since when you are starting it the array itself is not yet up and running. awesome!! thanks Joe

is there a way to NOT receive an email when Cache_Dirs starts? I get an email with a subject line "Output from your job 3?" and body message "cache_dirs process ID 5140 started, To terminate it, type: cache_dirs -q" I don't see the value of this email. Maybe if it contained the info on what is being cached or when it completed. Thoughts? Thanks

Joe, There are a few different versions in this thread, so I went with ReneV's. I'm not sure if the script syncs the drives. Attached is the file I'm using. If you have a chance to look through it, please let me know if I should change/add anything. thanks EDIT: looking through other files, should i add the following: /bin/sync as in # Do pre-sleep activities pre_sleep_activity sleep 5 /bin/sync # Go to sleep echo 3 > /proc/acpi/sleep auto_s3_sleep.sh.txt

well it's working... just a bit off topic relating to power failures http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=6248.0 What happens if the power goes out while the server is asleep? Will it go through a parity check on startup?

Thanks Peter, I got it working...I think Will see tonight after 11pm if it goes to sleep

I was interested in installing an automatic S3 script without having to click the S3 button in unMenu. I would like my server to sleep 30 minutes after all drives going to sleep, only between certain hours of the day and when no network activity is detected through xbmc either on my xbox or laptop. I was able to watch a ~20 minute TV episode the other day without the drive spinning up. I'm assuming since it was the last file added to the server, cache_dirs had it all in cache without needing to access the drive where the show is stored. The problem is which one to use. There seems to be at least a couple that are working, one from ReneV here: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=3657.msg41767#msg41767, one from kapperz here: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=3657.msg42253#msg42253 and another by aht961 here: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=3657.msg51790#msg51790. I'm leaning towards kapperz version as I seem to be able to follow it better (noob here). Any help is appreciated picking the right one

May 1 05:26:50 Tower kernel: md: sync done. time=19608sec rate=74721K/sec May 1 05:26:50 Tower kernel: md: recovery thread sync completion status: 0 ^ that's what I like to see I think I'm going to setup a Scheduled Task on my windows machine to run the Wake Up batch file on the last day of the month at 11:55pm. That way the server is awake for the scheduled monthly parity check BTW, Joe awesome job with unMenu. Gives a noob like me, the power to customize unRaid easily.

speaking of parity check. Using unMenu, will the monthly parity check (tonight 00am), not run if the server is asleep? Or will it run once the server comes back on? I put the server to sleep by clicking the S3 script button in unMenu. It will not run because cron will not invoke it because it will not be running. cron does not go back to run items that were scheduled when it was sleeping. So basically, the monthly check will not run at all. Joe L. thanks Joe, I guess I'll make sure the server is on tonight before going to bed...

@Koperfild Nice job with the tape and cable management. I had to RMA one of those drives as well...

where's the smoke? looking good

nice pics Rob

WeeboTech, I used up every fan opening: 2 Top, 1 Rear with the 3x Cooler Master Neon Blue LED 120MM Case Fan 3PIN 22DBA. Pulled the fan from the drive bay enclisure and put that on the side and added the black case fan from the rear, to the side as well. On the other side, I taped the 80 mm grill and added cardboard to the 3 bottom bays in the front and under the powersupply Temps are at around 30C for the one drive that actually works. Have a look at this to see my problem: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=2666.0 Removables are nice IF the drives work when you put them in
