Anubclaw Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Dear Support, I do have an issue with my dellnas server with the parity check it basically starts when it is scheduled but after a while it actually pauses "indefinately" until i continue to run it manually - this way it never completes fully at the moment. I will attach an actual diagnostic file for you to look at . Basically most other functions seem to run normal. Can you please help me fix this issue ? Thank you in advance, Best regards, Harald Weiss dellnas-diagnostics-20220329-1912.zip Link to comment
itimpi Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 The pause is being done by the parity check tuning plugin because you have what looks like a cooling problem and you have set checks to be paused if disks get too hot. Your syslog has messages like: Mar 28 07:07:02 dellnas Parity Check Tuning: Paused Manual Correcting Parity Check (0.4% completed): Following drives overheated: disk1(108C) and Mar 28 07:14:02 dellnas Parity Check Tuning: Following drives overheated: disk1(111C) disk3(109C) Do you have notifications enabled for such events as this would tell you this is happening without the need to look through the syslog. I must admit I suspect that the temperatures should be displayed as Fahrenheit as I cannot believe the disks are really that hot in Centigrade - I will need to look into that. EDIT: I can confirm that the numeric value in the above messages is the Fahrenheit value. A typo means that this happens even when told to display in Centigrade. However this looks like it purely a display issue in the syslog message. if you think that you should NOT be getting temperature related pause then a screenshot of the plugins Settings page would allow me to confirm that the values you have set are OK for temperature related pauses in case a bug has crept in somewhere in handling temperatures.

Anubclaw Posted March 29, 2022 Author Share Posted March 29, 2022 I did check the settings and it would wait for an 83 degrees C difference to continue …. Which never will happen btw my disks are about 40 degrees C in operation I think something was messed up in the plug-in so I uninstalled and reinstalled the plugin and the settings page still states to wait for 83 degrees C difference … Gesendet von iPhone mit Tapatalk Link to comment
Anubclaw Posted March 29, 2022 Author Share Posted March 29, 2022 (edited) I see the following Setting in the plugin which I think is quite odd Resume paused Edited March 29, 2022 by Anubclaw its not the solution Link to comment
itimpi Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Ok - that screenshot shows there is a problem with displaying or saving the resume value. Not quite sure why, but I would expect to track it down and issue a fixed version tomorrow. There was a major internal refactoring of the plugins code since last months release and although this will help with long term maintenance a few gremlins seem to have crept in that I missed during testing.

I find testing this feature particularly difficult as I have to simulate overheating as my drives do not actually do this. if there is still a problem then raise it in the support thread for the plugin.
