Is anybody running this under 5.0? I upgraded from 4.7 (where it was working perfectly), to 5.0-rc6-r8168-test2, and now its not working. PWMCONFIG doesnt find any devices. root@nas:/sys/class/hwmon/hwmon0/device# pwmconfig # pwmconfig revision 5770 (2009-09-16) This program will search your sensors for pulse width modulation (pwm) controls, and test each one to see if it controls a fan on your motherboard. Note that many motherboards do not have pwm circuitry installed, even if your sensor chip supports pwm. We will attempt to briefly stop each fan using the pwm controls. The program will attempt to restore each fan to full speed after testing. However, it is ** very important ** that you physically verify that the fans have been to full speed after the program has completed. /usr/sbin/pwmconfig: There are no pwm-capable sensor modules installed /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon0/device doesn't list any PWM devices either lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 2012-09-01 12:57 driver -> ../../../bus/platform/drivers/coretemp/ drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 0 2012-09-01 12:57 hwmon/ -r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 2012-09-02 12:41 modalias -r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 2012-09-01 12:58 name drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 2012-09-02 12:41 power/ lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 2012-09-01 12:57 subsystem -> ../../../bus/platform/ -r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 2012-09-01 12:58 temp2_crit -r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 2012-09-01 12:58 temp2_crit_alarm -r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 2012-09-01 12:58 temp2_input -r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 2012-09-02 12:41 temp2_label -r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 2012-09-01 12:58 temp2_max -r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 2012-09-01 12:58 temp3_crit -r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 2012-09-01 12:58 temp3_crit_alarm -r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 2012-09-01 12:58 temp3_input -r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 2012-09-02 12:41 temp3_label -r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 2012-09-01 12:58 temp3_max -r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 2012-09-01 12:58 temp4_crit -r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 2012-09-01 12:58 temp4_crit_alarm -r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 2012-09-01 12:58 temp4_input -r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 2012-09-02 12:41 temp4_label -r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 2012-09-01 12:58 temp4_max -r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 2012-09-01 12:58 temp5_crit -r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 2012-09-01 12:58 temp5_crit_alarm -r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 2012-09-01 12:58 temp5_input -r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 2012-09-02 12:41 temp5_label -r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 2012-09-01 12:58 temp5_max -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4096 2012-09-01 12:57 uevent ls -l of /sys/class/hwmon only lists hwmon0 root@nas:/sys/class/hwmon# ls -l total 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 2012-09-01 12:58 hwmon0 -> ../../devices/platform/coretemp.0/hwmon/hwmon0/ Output of unraid-fan-speed.sh: root@nas:/boot/custom/bin# unraid-fan-speed.sh Highest temp is: 35 ./unraid-fan-speed.sh: line 74: /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon0/device/pwm2_enable: No such file or directory cat: /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon0/device/pwm2: No such file or directory ./unraid-fan-speed.sh: line 89: [: : integer expression expected ./unraid-fan-speed.sh: line 93: /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon0/device/pwm2: No such file or directory Setting pwm to: 120 Any ideas???

I recently purchased one of these: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004C3VI20 The description states, "Supports TWO 2.5" SATA I or II Hard Drives or SSD". However, I have a Crucial C300 and a Crucial M4 SSD in it (both SATA III/6Gb/s devices), and I get the same exact speeds that I get hooked directly to the motherboard.

See this post: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=11585.msg110605#msg110605 Thanks!

Can someone who owns this server tell me how much space there is above the internal USB port? I don't want to use this server for unRAID, so I was thinking I could put a wireless USB adapter in that slot and run the wire out to an antenna I super glue to the top of the case. Something tells me though that there isn't room to do this. Basically, I want to put a Windows server somewhere for offsite backup duplication and and an offsite domain controller. I want to put it in a closet and forget about it. Thanks!

If money is a constraint then just get the Norco 4220 or 4224, put 3x 120mm DELTA fans in it and be done instead of getting all those Antec's and then load them with 5-in-3s... Yeah, rack is cool, but it is not silent because high CFM fans are needed to pull the air through the high-density drive bays. Steven, btw, how do you cool that rack? Do you have a HVAC running to the back? And where is it located, is the room special purpose for equipment? I don't have a rack yet, but Ive been looking for a 1/2 rack or two for the last year or so. Not many nice ones have shown up on craigslist lately and I don't want to spend the money on a new one. I have a "play room" that I keep all of my "toys" in. I do have a portable 14,000btu A/C just to help cool that room (I usually keep it around 66 degrees). Besides my unRAID server, I have two ESX servers hooked up to an OpenFiler Fiber Channel SAN, and standalone Windows Server 2008 that backups up everything else on my network. So, I do generate a lot of heat for this room (you'd be surprised how much heat a fiber channel switch puts out). As mentioned in my previous post, I did replace the fans in this case because the ones that came in it constantly ran at 5000RPM. With the new fans, none of my drives went above 38 degrees during a parity check. I'm seriously considering buying one more of these cases for my OpenFiler box. I should have when they were still $199. If I can, I'll have a CM590 with two SuperMicro 5-in-3's for sale. Of course, that will then lead me to upgrading my ESX boxes to rackmounts. Im looking at the TYAN B7002G20V4H for those.

Hm... TB maybe? LOVE the look of that case. That all drive look is very sexy. No, 6.5GB hold everything I need! ;D Post corrected.

Well, since I pretty much have a whole new unRAID build, I thought I would share. Case: SuperMicro SuperChassis 933T-R760B 3U Rackmount Power Supply: 3 x SuperMicro PWS-0050M 380w (760w total w/ redundancy) MB: SuperMicro C2SEE Processor: Intel Core2 Quad Processor Q8300 Heatsink: SuperMicro 1U SNK-P0016 Memory: Single 2GB Kingston KVR1333D3N9K2 SATA: SuperMicro AOC-SASLP-MV8 Fans: 2 x Cooler Master BladeMaster 80mm PWM High Air Flow Silent Case Fan R4-BM8S-30PK-R0 4 x Cooler Master BladeMaster 92mm PWM High Air Flow Silent Case Fan R4-BM9S-28PK-R0 Fan Cables: 6 x Supermicro CBL-0088L (since I needed 4 wire connections) PWM-Y Cable Adapter (since I only have 5 fan connectors on my motherboard) Hard Drives: 1 x Western Digital RE4-GP WD2002FYPS (2TB Parity) 4 x Hitachi HDS72202 (2TB) 3 x Seagate ST31500341AS (1.5TB) A few folks have asked about the energy usage of this case. Here are the readings from my Kill-A-Watt with one power supply plugged in and three power supplies plugged in: [b] State One PS (watts) Three PS (watts)[/b] Standby 5 15 Initial Powerup 230 250 During Boot 130 150 Fans on LOW - All Drives Spinning 104 136 Fans on LOW - No Drives Spinning 65 96 Fans on HIGH - All Drives Spinning 112 143 Fans on HIGH - No Drives Spinning 73 105 Parity Check 132 162

Take a real close look at that... It wasn't able to read sbd, sbe, and sbf because they do not exist. It actually read your Hitachi drives just fine. Try changing all those b's to d's. Doh! Works fine now. Thanks!

Ok, so the script worked just fine when I left it at the default of monitoring 3 drives. I have 5 drives in the server currently, so I modified the script and now its only reading (what appears to be) /dev/sdf. My current config: parity /dev/sdb Hitachi_HDS72202_JK1131YAHLJ8WV /dev/md1 /mnt/disk1 /dev/sdc Hitachi_HDS72202_JK1170YAHT9UXP /dev/md2 /mnt/disk2 /dev/sdd ST31500341AS_9VS0NE49 /dev/md3 /mnt/disk3 /dev/sde ST31500341AS_9VS1FSMN /dev/md4 /mnt/disk4 /dev/sdf ST31500341AS_9VS0MDQZ Here is what is in the unraid-fan-speed.sh file: ### VARIABLES FOR USER TO SET ### # Amount of drives in the array.

Well, I bought two 4-pin fans and got the script working. So, now at least I know I can control them. Since my motherboard only has 4-pin connectors, it is my understanding that I really can't use anything but 4-pin fans. I ordered the remaining 4 fans and they should be here on Tuesday. Then Ill run a parity check and cross my fingers. Thanks everyone for your help and suggestions.

Well, that's step 1. Like I said before, Linux isn't my first language. So, once the new fans get here, Ill then see if I can get one of the scripts working.

I think I came up with a plan... since the motherboard has plenty of 4-pin connectors, I ordered replacement 4-pin fans. I wont be able to use the backplane plugs, but thats OK. I also had to order new "hot-plug cables" since they were only 3-wire. I was afraid I wasn't going to be able to find those and I was going to lose the hot-plug capabilities of the fans. Hopefully the BIOS will control these 4-pin fans without needing a script.

You will have to excuse me as Linux is not my first language! So, basically, I purchased a SuperMicro SC933T-R760B and a SuperMicro C2SEE-O for a new unRAID build. The fans in in this case scream (at almost 5000rpm) all of the time. I have tried hooking them up to the motherboard and the backplane. All of the fans in the case are 3-wire fans. In BIOS, there are three options: Default, 4-wire Super Quiet and 4-wire Workstation. I have tried al three settings. My guess is it doesn't matter since none of the fans have 4 wires. So, my question is, where do I go from here? Will any of the scripts on these pages slow my fans down to a more livable speed? I suppose I could get a fan controller, but I would really prefer not to mess up this beautiful case. Yes, I know I purchased a "server" class chassis, but this is ridiculous. All of my HP Proliant DL-series servers (running Windows) slow the fans down after a few seconds of booting. Thanks!
