Already complained with earlier 6.9 versions, but still broken.

Apparently no one uses wake on lan on unraid with 6.9.x?!

No problem for WOL. In general Unraid won't touch / affect / support WOL.

It was / is working fine in 6.8.3 so back to that again.

But dad to format during write because syncing indefinitely, and then use make_bootable to fix it.

Switched to 6.9.1 today, WOL was unstable / not working. Server went to Sleep immediately. Maybe its a bug with S3 Sleep. Downgraded to 6.8.3 - everything works like a charm.

As SpaceInvaderOne's excellent videos will cover 6.9.x from now on, I decided to put all my three servers on it, despite one of them without WOL (and basically having to run up and down as it is a media - and main backup server not running all the time). So today I went in deep trying to fix it. Which I found / did!

 

Apparently, the command "Custom commands before sleep:" in the Sleep plugin "ethtool -s eth0 wol g" is not being executed. 

 

By just removing the command from the Sleep plugin, and creating a bash script to run at each array start the WOL is operational again.

 

Steps:

- If not already, install the "User Scripts" plugin;

- Optionally and recommended, if you want it to appear on the menu tabs, install plugin "Custom Tab"

- Create a new plugin, like "ReActivateWOL", with the following lines:

 

#!/bin/bash
ethtool -s eth0 wol g

and save changes.

 

- Instead of "Schedule Disabled" change to "At Startup of Array" (maybe "At Stopping of Array" also works, did not try that yet)

- and click Done.

 

To ReActivateWOL:

- Stop Array

- Start Array

 

Now WOL should work again after Sleep and even after Shutdown (in my case).

 

Hope it will work for you too.
