I don't know how common it is for the drives today to not have temperature sensors so not sure how much effort is really needed on this. My work around is working well for now. Thank you for the update!! I find it odd that Unraid is able to count the UD drives towards the license but is not able to adjust monitoring thresholds for them. Perhaps a later version will address this. However with such a great piece of software it really is a minor complaint. Thanks to both of you on your hard work making Unraid the great OS it is.

Ok so I found a work around. Settings>Disk settings will set the warning and critical for all disks including those in UD. So set these to 0 for both Critical and Warning (This disables it). Now nothing alerts. Go back to Main Dashboard screen and click the Thumb up icon and can set all the disks to their own threshold. (UD device won't allow setting so it will use the one set in settings) I tested this by setting all the disks to a very low temp threshold to test and they all triggered except the UD device. This seems to be a good workaround but an easier more intuitive way of doing it would be nice. (like being able to set the temp threshold just for the UD disk)

Nevermind it now triggering the warning instead of the critical

Thanks I tried setting the Critical temp alert to 129. This way it won't alert. However I left the warning as 45. This way I should still get a warning if something is going wrong but hopefully won't keep getting critical alerts. Would be nice to be able to disable it on a per drive basis though.

As you can see it always says the temp is 128. I can assure you its not I have no problem ignoring this however the alerts that get generated become irritating after awhile lol.

Hello, Sorry if this is not the correct place to post this. I have an old OCZ Agility 3 SSD running as my download drive through unassigned devices plugin. The drive does not have a temperature sensor on it and always reports 128. This is triggering temperature warnings constantly from the server. Is there any way to disable these warnings? I would prefer to just disable them for this drive but if needed all temperature warnings could be disabled.

So I ended up installing an old OCZ Agility 3 120GB SSD as an unassigned device. I added this as my download and process location for SAB and while the drive is getting hammered it is not affecting my dockers. I will keep watching but I think this may be the solution. Still puzzling that Windows never had this issue. Thanks everyone for the help.

My download folder is cache only and the appdata folder and docker image is cache preferred.

I don't believe there should be an impact though. There is no parity on the cache drive so I cannot see why it would bottleneck so much over Windows. I may have to look at this alternate drive approach. Although I feel I may still get an issue as I would like my Media share to use the cache drive so I would be coying from an unassigned device to the cache drive and still cause the performance hit. I am going to look at the nice and ionice a bit more as suggested.

I have tried nice and ionice in SAB and it did not really seem to help. Just confused why this is such an issue now but it wasn't under Windows.

Hi Everyone. I am a New Unraid user and am loving it so far besides one large issue I am having. First off my Hardware. I am running a Xeon E5-2670v2 with 16 GB of ram. I have 5 WD Red 3TB drives and 1 WD Red 4TB drive (Parity) in my Array. Cache disk is a Samsung 850 Evo 250 GB SSD. My internet connection is 1Gbps down and I have 3 nics teamed in an 802.11ad configuration to a Cisco Managed switch. I have my docker image as well as appdata stored on my cache drive. Dockers in use are Sonarr, Radarr, Plex, Crashplan and SABnzbd (or NZBGet as i tried both but settled on SAB as it seems to work a little better). SABnzbd downloads to the cache drive as well then Sonarr or Radarr moves the completed download. (Have tried moving to share that uses the cache drive and one that rights direct to the array, results are basically the same). Everything works fantastic when there are no downloads or only 1 file downloading. However whenever there is a queue where SABnzbd needs to download, unpack, verify or repair at the same time as well as Sonarr or Radarr potentially movie files. My cache drive slows right down and drags all the other dockers to a crawl. It renders plex unusable. Another thing I have noticed is if I am watching SABnzbd in my web browser it says SABnzbd is not responding every once and awhile then reloads it almost like the web browser loses connection. Normally I would say this is just because the disk is being overworked at this time, however I basically ran this same setup in Windows Server 2012 (SSD was the C: drive and had plex sonnar and Sabnzbd on it) And this never occurred. Everything always ran fast and responsive. This seems to be something to do with Unraid (or Linux or Docker) as the hardware I know is good and should be able to handle this. Sorry for the long post but I wanted to be thorough. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I would really like to get this working because everything else is so much better than Windows.

Hello, I am looking at moving from Server 2012 to Unraid. I am currently running the trial version with a 4TB WD Red parity drive and 5 WD Red 3TB drives. I am using an OCZ 160 GB SSD for a cache drive. All drives are XFS except cache which is btrfs. I have Sonarr, Radarr, SABnzbd all installed from Linuxserver and Plex from the official docker. The issue I am having is it seems the server is randomly pausing (Freezing for 10 - 30 Seconds) then functioning normally. When this happens the indicator light for activity on my cache drive is lit solid. (All drives are in sleds and have their own activity light) When this pause occurs you can see the download in SABnzbd freeze for the time of the pause (and restarts as soon as the pause is done). Plex also freezes the playback and resumes when done. Thinking it was maybe an issue with my cache drive I have tried another SSD and another platter drive as cache and the issue still occurs. I have even tried setting the cache to a raid 0 with 2 ssds and while its blazing fast it still pauses. This is running on an i7 computer with 12GB of ram so I don't think the issue is in that. (Windows Server also runs flawlessly on the exact hardware.) I would really like to figure out the issue as I really love the software. However if I can't get it reliable I will need to use a Windows/Snapraid solution I appreciate any help that anyone can provide. Thanks
