Feed me the info posted on github, and I will try to have a look at it ASAP. But I will be quite busy the next weeks, but it will really help me debugging it faster as I don't have a setup I currently can put all drives to standby.

It's been reported problems with maybe a similar controller here: https://github.com/olehj/disklocation/issues/191 Raid P410 controller, maybe it suffers from the same thing. If it's not reachable with the commandos I gave and cant provide unique serial numbers, then I can't do anything about it.

New smaller update to prevent faulty upgrades. Hopefully this fixes some issues.

Then that's the reason, maybe there's a setting to change serial number on the controller or whatever system that is. Maybe bypass logical volumes if possible and run the drives directly? the plugin heavily depend on unique serial numbers, and I never thought this would even be possible.

Does the logical volumes generate two unique serial numbers? you can probably check that with smartctl -x /dev/sdb smartctl -x /dev/sdc

Hmm, technically the plugin should uninstall itself before it install itself during upgrade. So don't know what's going on there, I'll have a look at it later

It should work ye, is it updated to the newest plugin release? Haven't seen what happens with an upgrade from 6.11 -> 6.12 yet, just separate installs. But don't think that should matter. The dashboard for 6.11 should just be ignored, and the other one loaded. It might be located somewhere else on the dashboard than before. Maybe you even need to unhide it by default if they did any changes recently to the RC. Otherwise, try to reinstall the plugin. Database should remain intact.

What does this command output: lsscsi -b -g

I going to move both buttons if I move them, but maybe I'll look into it. The heat map overrides all custom colors. The names for the main color definitions also renames accordingly when you toggle between "Disk Type" and "Heat Map". Rather toggle "Temperature LED" and "Warning/Critical Flash" if you want some indication on a "Disk Type" view. There's no way to have them both as it defines the background color.

About the buttons, never really knew the best place to put them.. any suggestions?

Sorry, I can't replicate this. Check if you didn't mess up with choosing "heat map" and thinking custom colors would work. You have a "reset colors" button in the configuration too.

Was a typo in the variable, fixed with 2023.04.22

Did you force scan all recently? I know this was a bug at initial release. I might look into it soon, but too drunk now.

New update, fixes the issue above. Might apply to several out there, who knows?

This post continues at https://github.com/olehj/disklocation/issues/188

New minor update, should fix the above problem as well.

Thanks, happy to help whenever I can. Right now I'm just drunk and on a metal festival, so I'm not very useful. However, may I ask why you need to manually add disks? Do you have a system that is not discovered? Is it a bunch of external devices (USB/thunderbolt etc)? External disk enclosure? Something else i vant think of? And more importantly: is there a way too see them in unRAID system by a common command? Just curious if it's something that could be implemented in the plugin, or if the manual mode would be the only way too go except from adding multiple disk search function on specialized hardware. Adding a manual mode would not be impossible, but it would only keep track of whatever you would type in yourself. If the command "lsscsi" shows the devices, then it should probably be easy to include automagically. Cheers, soon heading out being more drunk and .. deaf-er? Inferno Festival 🤘

Check main post above about all the major updates for this release. Click the top header for correct link location. Update 2023.04.04 Commit #208 - IMPROVEMENT: Added a button to move the legacy Dashboard left and right under "System" configuration. This is not visible for Unraid 6.12 users and also not needed. The file that defines the location will be deleted under Unraid 6.12 automagically. This will override the current modified variables in the file if that has been done, but the manual editing won't be needed to be done anymore as the button to move the location for the Dashboard is under "System", the button toggles between left and right. To manually disable the dashboard, you must still manually delete the file or rename the extension of this file: /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/disklocation/disklocation_dashboard-legacy.page This has to be done after every plugin update for Unraid version below 6.12! @TwistedCarnivore you might want to read this when you update.

Check main post above about all the major updates for this release. Click the top header for correct link location. Update 2023.04.01 - no, it's not an April Fools joke. Commit #205 - IMPROVEMENT: Added a legacy dashboard back, as people can use newer plugin on a current stable Unraid system again. Also removed a useless question mark icon when hovering the LED-icons. This update will force enable the Dashboard for Unraid below version 6.12, and it will be stuck on the right side. You can still move it up and down. To manually disable the dashboard, delete or rename the extension of this file: /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/disklocation/disklocation_dashboard-legacy.page To manually set it to the left side of the plugin, edit the file above, find and set the variables to this instead: $dashboard_widget_pos_legacy = 1; $dashboard_widget_colspan_legacy = 3; In short: YES, you can now finally use and install this plugin for Unraid versions from 6.9 and above.

Ye, it's a hard life. Now, there's reason why it had to be like this - this time around. To prevent my plugin from being blocked (which it actually was for some days) due to major changes in the Dashboard for Unraid 6.12, I had to fix and release a new update. The developer package was ready to be installed, but it was not good enough UNTIL I had released the stable version of it. The new version of my plugin required some additional changes to the Dashboard, not really suitable for a dual-dashboard (for both versions) to exists at the same time as I had the possibilities to "hack" the Dashboard to the "left" and "right" side, or simple turning it "Off". In the new version, these settings are completely unnecessary and thus removed from the plugin. So the other option would then be just to release the plugin, making people ask where the Dashboard had gone. While on Unraid 6.12 it would have invalid settings under configuration as they don't matter anymore (and are actually now used by something else - a feature that was requested). There was simply not a lot of good options here, so I decided to release the production release of this plugin, as it is really ready for production use regardless of Unraids state at this point. But once you upgrade, you'll have more and a better plugin - without having lost the Dashboard meanwhile. Hope this clarify a bit why shit was done as it was.

Exactly that. Otherwise, the already installed version will be the last until the 6.12 upgrade. No new installs will be possible with older versions of Unraid unless the developer package is installed.

Fair point. Worst that can happen is a messed up dashboard, you can disable that in the plugin before you reboot into 6.12. Then upgrade it and dashboard is automatically accessible.

It's already been answered. Read.
