September 27, 201411 yr I have an issue with wake-on-lan and powerdown on a new unraid server. If use the GUI to stop the array and powerdown, the array shuts down and I can use WOL to wake the server via magic packet just fine If I start the array and telnet in via Putty I can type /sbin/powerdown (using powerdown script 1.05), the array shuts down and again I can wake via magic packet. My motherboard does not support S3 (although the manual says it should). I do have a "sleep" script that shuts down the server when idle, but instead of the sleep command the script now issues: ethtool -s eth0 wol g sleep 10 /sbin/powerdown The server shuts down fine, but WOL does not work in this case. The server comes up fine with a press of the physical power button. Originally I thought there was something fundamentally different about the powerdown sequence in the GUI and the powerdown 1.05 script. However, the 1.05 scripts seems to work fine from Putty (I believe that /sbin/powerdown from Putty is invoking the powerdown 1.05 script, right?), it just does not work fr within my sleep script. I'd appreciate any advice. I can supply logs if needed, but I thought there might be a chance that the solution is already known. The hardware is a H8DME-2 motherboard with dual Opteron 2419 cpus, two SAT2-MV8 sata cards, 13 drives. Thank you in advance.
