UNMENU - unRAID Power-Down on disk overtemp Question

[TheDragon]

I discovered a little while ago that for unmenu to detect the temperature of disks connected to an M1015 it needed 'smartopt -A' to be set for each disk, which I believe I'm correct in stating drops the '-d ATA' part of the command used to query the disk smart attributes.

 

This made me wonder if any further configuration was needed to get the Power-Down on disk overtemp plugin to detect temperatures for all my disks.

 

So being nosey, I took a look at overtemp_shutdown.sh, which was installed from the unmenu package.  I noticed this uses '-d ATA' as part of the command to query the disk smart attributes too. Is there some logic that I can't see which drops the '-d ATA' if no temperature is returned?

 

If not, would it be safe to edit the script and remove the '-d ATA' part myself? Also would these changes be overwritten on at boot?

 

Any thoughts on this would be much appreciated!

Any clues on this? Or alternatively who the author of the script is?

It was me.  Older versions of unRAID needed the -d ATA.  Newer versions do not.

 

The script itself is re-created from the /boot/packages/powerdown-overtemp-unmenu-package.conf file on every boot.

You can edit the /boot/packages/powerdown-overtemp-unmenu-package.conf file that creates the script. 

 

Also add an additional line to the end of the /boot/packages/powerdown-overtemp-unmenu-package.conf file.

AUTO_UPDATE=NO

It will prevent the file from being overwritten when you check for updates within unMENU.

Thanks Joe, the advice is very much appreciated!

 

I've just made these changes to /boot/packages/powerdown-overtemp-unmenu-package.conf, rebooted but the changes aren't reflected in /usr/local/sbin/overtemp_shutdown.sh.  The script is in its original form, with '-d ata' still in there. 

 

Can you offer any clues as to what's going wrong?

 

I've attached both files in case this helps.

You'll need to re-install it.  To do that, just click on the button to "Disable re-install on reboot" and then click it once more to "Enable re-install on reboot"

Or, pretend you are editing one of the parameters for temperature on it in the package-manager, save the change (even if you do not change anything), then click on the button to re-install with new values,  and it will re-install with the newer version.

It's all working perfectly now!

 

Thanks for your help Joe.
