LJQ Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 Version: unraid 6.12.0-rc2 Description: Freshly installed, no plugins、docker and virtual machine , only set hard drive sleep to 15 minutes after installation. Problem: Hard drives are not sleeping, and manually clicking SPIN DOWN DEVICE on the interface does not put the hard drives to sleep either. What could be causing this issue? Hardware: EPYC 7551p Supermicro H11SSL-i Broadcom / LSI SAS3008 PCI-Express Fusion-MPT SAS-3 (rev 02) 24 disks connected to the motherboard via LSI passthrough card Hardware information is available in the screenshot, and logs have been uploaded. tower-diagnostics-20230405-1744.zip Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 There's a known issue with spin down and v6.12 after a new config, most users report that just going back to v6.11.5 makes it work again, and if yes you can then upgrade back to v6.12. just don't do another new config. Quote Link to comment

Well, the hardware hasn't changed, but I have switched to a new unraid USB drive (with many plugins, but without Docker or virtual machines enabled) and rolled back to version 6.11.5. However, the hard drive sleep and manual SPIN DOWN DEVICE still aren't working. Are there any other possible reasons for this, and how can I troubleshoot the issue? I am attaching the latest logs for your reference. ljq-unraid-diagnostics-20230405-2211.zip Quote Link to comment

I missed this part before, the problem with v6.12 after a new config is that the disks spin down but spin back up before 1 minute, usually after just a few seconds, if the disks never spin down it's a different problem, also note that SAS disks don't spin down, they might if you install the SAS spin down plugin, click the green dot besides one or two of the SATA disks and post new diags.

LJQ Posted April 6, 2023 Author Share Posted April 6, 2023 (edited) What are the keywords for the SAS plugins you mentioned? In my array, I have 24 hard drives, some of which are SAS and some are SATA. I have just clicked on three 16TB SATA hard drives: Disk 17 WUH721816ALE6L4_2PG5EGST - 16TB (sdb) Disk 18 WUH721816ALE6L4_2CHWBNTJ - 16TB (sdg) Disk 19 WUH721816ALE6L4_2BH7UM9N - 16TB (sdh) I am attaching the latest logs for your reference. ljq-unraid-diagnostics-20230406-1023.zip Edited April 6, 2023 by LJQ Quote Link to comment

JorgeB Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 I've never seen this before, i.e., clicking doing nothing, try booting in safe mode to rule out any plugin issues and use a different browser, make sure no av/adblocker is blocking the webGUI. Quote Link to comment

However, I encountered this problem with a new unraid system as well. Even if the manual click did not work due to browser or system issues, automatic hard drive sleep should not have failed. 🤣 It seems that I am currently stuck in this predicament. I will try a new unraid 6.11.5 over the weekend and investigate any other potential issues, such as browser or operating system etc.😟 Could you please tell me the keywords that the diagnostic log prints when I click SPIN DOWN DEVICE? I will need to test this repeatedly and report any progress made. Quote Link to comment

Q: Still unsure why the SATA drives (disk6-23) in the array cannot sleep, and how to make them sleep.🤣ljq-unraid-syslog-20230411-0529.zip Attached are some log entries. Quote Link to comment

Suggest use another USB to install a fresh OS ( or previous version ) and test again first. Edited April 11, 2023 by Vr2Io Quote Link to comment
