    [Plugin] CA Auto Turbo Write Mode

    I’m away on holiday for 2 weeks and have 3 unraid servers, auto turbo write does work on one, another is a backup with no drives.  I’m not sure what the host controllers are.

    Further, this doesn't properly work on either server.

     

    The bug seems to be as follows, with a polling interval set at 30 seconds.

    Start a large number of files copying to the server, 

    Spin up the array,

    Each file is copied for up to 30 seconds in read/modify/write before switching to reconstruct write

    Next file in the list begins in read/modify/write mode for up to 30 seconds again

    Spin up all drives on specific file type access

    One of my servers is dedicated to media (movies) with all of them catalogued with Ember Media Manager and only one share on my server with 20 data drives allocated to the share.

     

    If I use spin up groups, all the drives will stay spun up whilst I watch a 2 hour long movie.

     

    If I don’t use spin up groups, one drive at a time will spin up as Ember Media Manager retrieves the NFO file and JPG files to display in the catalogue.  It can take 10 minutes or more as I scroll from movie to movie for the first 20 movies or so in the Ember Catalogue with long delays when the files are on spun down disks.

     

    A great feature would be all drives in the share accessed to be spun up on accessing (say) the NFO or JPG file and then whilst I’m actually watching the movie, typically an MKV file, the other drives would be spun down on the preset spin down delay.

     

    Currently I work round this by using spin up groups and copying the movie I want to watch to my HTPC, but it’s a pain with some 4K movies being 70GB or larger.

    Does turbo write work with 6.9? I had some issues after updating where turbo write was not being enabled even with all the drives spun up but it worked fine after uninstalling the plugin and manually changing to reconstruct write.

     

    I also perpetually get this notice on the plugin "An update to this plugin is available" but when I check for an update nothing is shown?

    I have the same error, it doesn't realise the disks are spun up

    X9SCM-IIF burned out

    I'm running  unRaid 6.6.4 on X9SCM-IIF, it shut itself down overnight, when I turned the PSU off and on I got a whiff of smoke from the top left corner of the board.

     

    I'm guessing it's an obsolete board, is there a board anyone can recommend that's plug compatible with this one? same CPU/RAM slots support etc?

     

    It has 2 of 8 channel disk boards in it (I can't remember whether they are IBM or SM) and needs 6 SATA too.

     

    Many thanks in anticipation

    Parity & sometimes Parity2 disk are disabled

    I fitted a new cable and I think I got them on new ports, I had the same thing happen and lost parity, so I am rebuilding parity and will then move them onto a different controller.

     

    I suspect it's either the controller, or more likely the 5in3 disk backplane, I've had this once before.

    In answer to trurl, yes it does use parity to rebuild the rest of the disk.  It's not that simple when you live in a climate where peak daytime temperatures reach mid 40'sC but night time is more than 25C cooler, anything that takes more than 16 hours is a major problem.

     

    It's one of the reasons why I asked for the parity check to be paused and restarted.

    on reflection, I suppose they are stored against the share, so I probably can't copy anything over.  My bad for not backing up my flash in 6 months, I will have to see if I can remember the passwords on the pc's instead, if not, reset them and start again.
