This has been going on for a while, but I just cancel the parity check usually (since I have it scheduled monthly). I'm using unRAID 4.7 "Final". I usually shutdown by typing reboot in a telnet window.

 

I have unMENU "clean pwerdown" (powerdown-1.02-noarch-unRAID.tgz) script installed and the power button bound to the powerdown script in my go script (sysctl -w kernel.poweroff_cmd="/sbin/powerdown"). Is it because I'm doing this thought telnet? My log from a restart is attached. Any lines with ### are from my scripts.

Yes,

 

do not type reboot!!

 

Preferably you should use the unRAID webGUI to stop the array and then power down.  If you can't do that then type powerdown through telnet, not reboot.

Ah, thank you prostuff (I did search around). I thought it was something that wasn't being set at shutdown.

 

If I'm at a remote location and use powerdown, I will not be able to physically turn the system back on.

 

Is the a system command to cancel the parity check though telnet?

Do not cancel the parity check. It is running for a reason. Enter "powerdown -r" to reboot.

yes.

 

/root/mdcmd nocheck

 

In the same way you can stop the array, but ONLY after stopping any process having any open files.

and then un-mounting the data disks

/root/samba stop

umount /dev/md1

umount /dev/md2

umount /dev/md3

etc.

If a disk does not un-mount, it has files open or is otherwise busy.

 

Once all disks are un-mounted

/root/mdcmd stop

will stop the array cleanly

 

Then you can type

reboot

if you wish.

Thanks Joe L. 

"powerdown -r" stops running processes and does what Joe L says and then reboots if you have the powerdown package installed.

It does if you have it first in your execution path.  To be certain, type

 

/sbin/powerdown -r

and use the full path the powerdown add-on.
