My emhttp gets stuck with that segmentation error issue that I've seen posted about on his forum, and the only way to fix it is to restart the whole machine, but that leaves the parity requiring a check.

Is there any way to nicely shutdown the array without the help of emhttp?

 

The old powerdown script had a reference to /etc/rc.d/rc.unRAID but that doesn't appear to exist anymore

Have a look at this thread: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=27085.0, entitled, "How To: Reatart emhttp WebUI without rebooting."

I have not tried it first-hand, but it looks like a good method.

As I stated above, /etc/rc.d/rc.unRAID  is not available, so this method does not work.

See Console Commands in my sig.

Perfect, thanks!

I don't know where I got this from but put it in a file called stop.sh or something similar and then just run it if you need to stop the array. Once stopped you can reboot.

 

# Stop Samba
killall smbd nmbd
#
# Kill any processes using the disks
for fs in /mnt/user /mnt/disk*
do
  if [ ! -d ${fs} ] ; then continue ; fi
  for pid in $(fuser -cu $fs 2>/dev/null)
  do
      kill -TERM ${pid}
  done
done
#
#un-mouunt the disks
for disk in /mnt/disk*
do
  /bin/umount ${disk}
done
#
# Stop the unRAID array
echo stop > /proc/mdcmd
#
echo "The unRAID array is stopped

 

I'd recommend you go to any plug-in web interface pages and try to shut them down that way before running this.
