This thread is the support topic for Storage Guard.

Install the plugin, set your free-space thresholds, and use 'Main' page as usual. For bugs or feedback, post here with Unraid version, a quick note on array/pool layout, and what you expected vs what you saw. Screenshots of Settings and 'Main' help.

Drive prices make replacing a failed disk the same day expensive. Storage Guard is a first-glance check on Main: set free-space thresholds for the array and each pool so you can see whether you still have room to move data after a disk fails.

When free space falls to or below a threshold, the free space bar on Main is colored yellow (warning) or red (critical). Optional Unraid notifications use the same thresholds.

WHAT IT DOES

• Free-space Warning and Critical thresholds for the array and each pool

• Thresholds from real disk sizes, or custom values (1.5T, 500G, 7.5T, etc.)

• Colors the Main free space bar (solid or outline, per array/pool)

• Optional Unraid notifications (independent of coloring)

Cleaned up installation details, removed a mod note. Edited supported unraid versions.

If you make a properly formatted post with a title that makes it obvious it is a support thread for a plugin mods will recognise and move it as necessary.

This is unreadable though.
