scottw Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Sorry for maybe a stupid question but what is the difference between the spin down timer here and the one already in Unraid (4.3), I am sure there is a difference just not sure what it is I thought my drives already spin down the drives after an 1 hour. Thanks, Quote Link to comment
brainbone Posted October 9, 2008 Author Share Posted October 9, 2008 The spin down timer in unRAID 4.3 uses the drives firmware to spin down the drive (tells the drive to spin itself down after x of inactivity). The spin down timer in unraid_notify (and unRaid 4.4) monitors disk activity (read and writes) and instructs the drive to spin down, regardless of the firmware. Why do it this way? Things like checking the disk temp., smart status, etc. look like activity to the disk firmware, and won't let the drive spin down. Doing it outside the disk firmware, we only monitor actual reads or writes to the disk, not checks of smart status, etc. In short, if you want to periodically monitor the status of the disk, you can't use the drives firmware (the way unRAID 4.3 does it) for spinning down the drive.

TexasAg Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Great script.

Joe L. Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 Follow the steps described in the post listed below, using telnet to connect to your smtp server. http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=911.msg7040#msg7040 Apparently AUTH authentication is not supported by your e-mail provider. They might not need an ID/Password at all, or it might need to be a different authentication method. Quote Link to comment

vdtruong Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 I have a quick question brainbone. I keep getting "Array not started" alerts, even though it is running. I was even accessing the files at the time. Quote Link to comment
brainbone Posted December 23, 2008 Author Share Posted December 23, 2008 Could you post the contents of the alert email? Is this Unraid 4.3.3, 4.4, or 4.5 beta1? Quote Link to comment
rickardk Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 # Choose the critical disk temp. (in celsius) that will cause unraid_notify to execute an external # command (like powerdown - see: http://lime-technology.com/wiki/index.php?title=Powerdown_script ) CriticalDiskTemp = 37 CriticalDiskCommand = powerdown This should power down my machine when 37 C is reached right? Does not work if a file is open (like watching a video file). I guess I'm doing something wrong. The powerdown script is installed and working when executed manually with "powerdown" trough telnet. # Choose the maximum temp. (in celsius) a disk may get before an error will message will be sent. MaxDiskTemp = 30 This does send me an email though. Values set low just for testing... Quote Link to comment

prostuff1 Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Do they require SSL? if they do then you need to set the port to 465 and install the socat package. Quote Link to comment
jbuszkie Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Do they require SSL? if they do then you need to set the port to 465 and install the socat package. Nope.. My other setups use plain old port 25 Quote Link to comment

My other setups use plain old port 25 Probably would not hurt to try with SSL and the socat package. Even if it shows in your other setup as using port 25 it might be using SSL which MAKES it use 465. Quote Link to comment

Hum, try following some of these settings and make yours similar. The only thing i can think of is that you need to use your full e-mail address for the username.

brainbone Posted January 21, 2009 Author Share Posted January 21, 2009 The problem seems to be that Earthlink appears to reject any authentication from MTAs that use "HELO" instead of "EHLO". This is a simple fix, but unfortunately my unraid server is down right now. The change is in bashmail (/usr/bin/bashmail) Changing line: mail_chat "HELO $(hostname)" to: mail_chat "EHLO $(hostname)" After I get unraid up and running again, I'll release a new unraid_notify.

brainbone Posted January 21, 2009 Author Share Posted January 21, 2009 No. Unfortunately the mail server is complaining that the message does not conform to RFC2822. I don't have an Earthlink email account to do further testing. If you trust me, you can PM me your username and password, else I'll have to see if I can find another way to isolate what in the message is triggering the non-compliance issue. Quote Link to comment
jbuszkie Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Just PMed you with your own earthlink account info. Thanks a bunch for helping me out! Jim Quote Link to comment
