comet424 Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 (edited) hi i was wondering if there is a way to hardcode Hardware monitor.. like you do for a Retropie at bootup you set in a textfile your usb drive to like sda1 if i start with hwmon0 and if i pull out a unassigned drive... and reboot the hardwre monitor will change from hwmon0 to like hwmon1 or hwmon2 and it will also bugger up the exclude drives in the dynamix fans plugin.. is there a way to force at bootup that hwmon0 is for Fans and it never changes no matter how many drives you add to array or UD or when you pull a drive and reboot as i know for the plugin it screws up when you add a drive to the array... the check boxes are all over the place its like it doesnt know what each drive is.. same with the sdaX it changes i guess thats why sometimes the fan speed exclude drives keeps changing... cuz they point to "sdax" and not to the actual Hard drive UID but the main issue is if you can force it... to stay at Hwmon0 cuz if i pull the drive and reboot... then the fans are running full speed.. and now on the fan plugin i gotta do a "Detect" to find which HwmonX its on now 0 1 2 and then re save each one... is there anything i can change in the "GO" file ?

comet424 Posted June 12, 2022 Author Share Posted June 12, 2022 (edited) is there a file in the boot folder i can set so say hwmon0 is always set to 0 and not change to hwmon1 or hwmon2 if you pull out or add a new hard drive and happen to reboot.. and then the hwmon keeps randomly changing betweeen 0 and 2 is there like a boot.ini and you do the "force hwmon#=hwmon0" something like that?

dlandon Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 Click on the device designation in UD for the device in question and make a change to the SMART settings and then click 'Apply'. This will set up disk monitoring by serial number and not devX. I don't know how hwmon works so I don't know if it will work, but I suspect it will. Quote Link to comment
comet424 Posted June 12, 2022 Author Share Posted June 12, 2022 ah ok i dont have the drives plugged in at moment so say hwmon0 is set in the sensors or whatever and i have the 2 UD hard drives plugged in.. and when i unmount and remove the drives and then happen to reboot hwmon0 now changes to hwmon1 or hwmon2 and thats when fans all run at 100% but usually then when you plug the 2 UD drives back in and then do another reboot hwmon1 or hwmon2 will change back to hwmon0 and the fans ramp back down to silent..

comet424 Posted June 13, 2022 Author Share Posted June 13, 2022 @dlandon i dont seem to have device designation... could you send some pics? i was wondering there is for "disk name" from dev1 2 3 4 it has for my un assigned drives if i change the disk name from dev1 to the serial number of the drive? i click also the DEV1 for the 1 usb drive and looked at all the sub headings but nothing to change smart settings for device designation.. maybe you could send a few screen shots, would help Quote Link to comment

comet424 Posted June 14, 2022 Author Share Posted June 14, 2022 (edited) ok you lost me under smart there is no "device designation" cuz you said "a change to the SMART settings and then click 'Apply'. This will set up disk monitoring by serial number and not devX." i dont see "device designation" to click under smart to hit apply .. and disk monitoring will change dev2 to like serial number reason i asked if i just change "disk name" from "dev2 " to the "wdc-xxxxxx"(serial number) that you have cuz under the smart settings you see there is nothing that says "device designation" for me to change to serial number and not DevX and none of the 3 "defaults" have an option of "device desgination" under drop downs so i cant selection this device designation option so i kinda lost Edited June 14, 2022 by comet424 Quote Link to comment

Then make a change to any parameter on the SMART page You can change and then change it back. The Apply button will be active, then click it. This will set the monitoring to the serial number. You don't change the devX here. Quote Link to comment
comet424 Posted June 14, 2022 Author Share Posted June 14, 2022 oh your talking about the "Device name" dev1 dev2 not look for the word "device designation" way you wrote it.. i been looking for the word "device designation" and then i check off a box so id enable device designation over what its doing now dev1 2 23 or sda sdb sdc either way didnt work still changes before i add the hard drive /sys/devices/platform/nct6775.656/hwmon/hwmon2/fan1_input its set to hwmon2 when i add the hard drive and do a reboot /sys/devices/platform/nct6775.656/hwmon/hwmon0/fan1_input its now hwmon0 what i want is everytime unraid reboots you force "hwmon" to say be hwmon0 no matter what you do as many ud or array or cache drives you add Quote Link to comment
comet424 Posted June 14, 2022 Author Share Posted June 14, 2022 (edited) and when i remove the UD drive how does the monitoring work? cuz then it goes from hwmon0 and goes to hwmon2 does the reverse above. after a reboot cuz the smart monitoring doesnt apply when the drive isnt pluged in anymore? or does it?
