Hello ,

I have a Z9PE-D16 running unraid , for some reason i don't know yet my systems freezes ~ once a month.

I saw that my board has a watchdog that would at least minimalize the downtime , but when i enable it the system restarts after 10 min because unraid is not sending anything to it.

As far as i found out i should use the iTCO_wdt modul but it is not included in unraid ?

Has anybody running  a watchdog with unraid ?

I found something about watchdog in this release notes https://wiki.unraid.net/Manual/Release_Notes/Unraid_OS_6.9.1
but nothing how to use it.

Thank you

Ramiro

I figured out a solution so if anybody else also needs this here is what i did.

I installed ipmitool with nerdtools.

Then i created a script that at the start of the array initalizes the watchdog :

#!/bin/bash
modprobe ipmi_si
modprobe ipmi_devintf
/usr/bin/ipmitool raw 0x06 0x24 0x04 0x01 0x00 0x00 0x70 0x17

And another script that every minute runs this command

#!/bin/bash
/usr/bin/ipmitool mc watchdog reset
