Yeah that will work to get me the device.. But what aobut other info about the disk? proc mdcmd list's the disk Id and such which is used in the report. diskId.2=ata-Maxtor_7B300S0_B61TLVLH Will I have to get that info from parsing hdparm -I ? Jim

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119152 Earlier today shipping was about $18 now it has free shipping! Tempted to pull the trigger even though I'm not out of drive space on my current machine!!!

I just added a cache drive to my system and I'd like to update Brainbone's unraid notify script to report the cache drive status as well. Brianbone's script parses the /proc/mdcmd to get the disk list. The cache drive isn't in there. Now I can probably hard code my cache drive, but I was hoping for something a bit more generic. Any thoughts?? I'm sure it's probably easy.. but I'm not an expert with the internals of UnRaid Thanks, Jim

Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 ST31500341AS 1.5TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Hard Drive (bare drive) - OEM http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148337&nm_mc=EMC-IGNEFL042109&cm_mmc=EMC-IGNEFL042109-_-HardDrives-_-L0A-_-22148337 Regularly $119 but use code EMCLRNM27 For another $5 off. I believe this is a one day deal.. (the $5 off that is..)

New egg lowered the price on the OEM drive by $10 and still has free shipping. For those that are loyal to Newegg... $119. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148337 The frys deal still seems better (Retail vs. OEM) but it looks like it's out of stock as of this AM.

That's more of a brainbone question. You might find the answer in one of the earlier posts in this thread if you haven't already looked.. Jim

Yes.. Just open up the tgz file and replace the original script. And recompress it.

The original script would send a message out every hour (or whatever the default was) if you had it set up that way. Most of the time my disks were spun down and I would still get the message. So I modified the script to check to see if any are spun up. If all are spun down, then no message is sent. But if one or more are spun up, then it will send the message out. It won't spin up the disks that are still spun down, it will just report them as spun down.

It's back... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136317

Well the price is now $296.99 So it was either a typo or thye never intended to sell at that price! Bummer! I guess we'll have to wait a couple months (this summer maybe) before they come down to the $179 price!

That didn't last long! Back to $105

Here is the modified script to put in a couple of changes that brianbone added to make earthlink on the unraid_notify work. you can use it if you want.. but it's mainly for me when I forget about where I put my modified copy! :-) (remove the .txt in the file name)

Here is the script and the config file that will only give you notices if one or more disks are spun up. If they are spun down, then no info is sent. There is a new variable in the conf file that will also control it. If the variable is not there then the script should behave like the released verison. # Send report if no disks are spun up. If True then Status report will onlt be sent if one or more disks are not # spun up. If all disks are not spun up, then no report will be sent if this variable is set to true. NoReportIfAllSpunDown = False just remove the .txt from both file names. Maybe Brainbone will include it in his next release. EDIT: New version below here

Done! Thanks for your help! I now have a script that will only send me hourly updates if one or more disks are spun up. If they are all spundown, then I get no e-mail.

Don't tell me that now!!!! I need to work!!! Must... not.... look.... at... script... while... at.. work... Hard... to... resist... temptation....

Yeah.. I saw that.. I might do that.. The majority of time my drives are spun down. I'd only like to receive info when some are spun up.. Maybe I'll see if I can understand the script and customize it.. Otherwise I'll just set it for error messages only... Thanks, Jim

I've read through all the pages a couple times and I didn't see it.. Is there a way to not send me an update if the disks are spun down? I suppose I could comb through the script and look myself... but it's easier to ask.. and considering I haven't got much work done at work the past two days because of unraid... I probably just get something work releated done today!! Jim

Looks like it works! I was able to get the debug message through. Thanks a bunch for helping me with this. Now I have to figure out the next thing I want to muck with!!! Jim

Just PMed you with your own earthlink account info. Thanks a bunch for helping me out! Jim

I don't think so.. SSL box is un checked. See pic.

Nope.. My other setups use plain old port 25

I removed my username and passwrd and just like I thought.. root@Tower:/boot/config# unraid_notify -d > < 220 equipment to accept, transmit, or distribute unsolicited e-mail. > HELO Tower < 250 elasmtp-banded.atl.sa.earthlink.net Hello Tower [76.119.47.209] > MAIL FROM: <[email protected]> < 250 OK > RCPT TO: <Itdoesnt.work.com> < 550 Please configure your mail client to use authentication. 550 Please configure your mail client to use authentication.

But my ISP requires a username and passwd to send messages...

I had windows installed on a disk in that machine still.. So I boot it up and downloaded the Asus update utility. That worked fine. so I didn't need to get a floppy drive! So I updated the the rom just fine. I'm running 4.2.84, I believe. I put my parity disk on the onboard Sata controller and I'm running a parity check to see how it all goes. so far it's not any faster than my plugin controller. Oh well.. It's most likely PCI based as well since it's a seperate chip anyway... but now If I need to upgrade disks, I can. I'll be able to support 3 - 1.5TB disks. That should hold me over until I have to buy another MB. Who knows.. Maybe I'll break down and buy the plus key. I still have a couple PATA drives that could sustain me until I can afford 3 - 1.5TB disks! I'll let you know if I have any sync errors.. I bought a couple of ebay 1Gb nini cruizer disks and one is crap.. but the other one seemed fine. I did some work at work and brought it home to try on the unraid and I got some weird errors. I tried it on another system at home and it worked fine.. I think the A7n8X is not long for this world!!
