Has anyone managed to get this to control Dell server fans, specifically the R510/R515? I have the system temperature detecting the CPU temps but I am not sure how to get the fans to be controlled via this. If Dynamix can't control the fans is there a way to get the CPU temps out into a shell script that can then do an ipmitool call?

Having trouble with AutoFan 1.5 (UnRaid 6.8.2) the only option for PWM controller is 'none', and the 'detect' buttons do nothing.

 

My Asus X570-Plus has 6 pwm fan ports, and I am only using two (the CPU for the cpu fan and CPU-OPT which is connected to a fan hub powering the front 6 drive bay fans). Everything looks fine in bios.

 

I really want to control the speed of this fan hub based on the temp of the drives if that's possible... 

 

Any ideas?

Dynamic Cache Dirs

 

I had a issue were mounting an external USB Hard Drive via unassigned devices lead to High iowait and extremely low file transfer speeds.

 

 

I was eventually able to figure with the help of robobub it was Dynamic Cache Dirs that was causing the issue. Dynamic Cache Dirs scanning the External USB Drive was what lead to high iowait. I was able to resolve the issue by excluding the external drive from Cache Dirs. But it would be really nice if you could add an option to exclude all drive mounted via Unassigned devices automatically.

I have added times when I don't want it to sleep, I was expecting it to wake the server but it doesn't but I will add a wake on LAN to my setup. 

Unfortunately that is not the way this plugin works. It does not include functionality for automatically waking your server. The time you added simply prevent it from going to sleep during those times if it is already on. To get wakeup to work you will need to insert a custom script to set an RTC wake alarm. There are various examples around the forums and farther back in this thread. The most recent I commented on is here 

 

 

Be warned though, RTC hardware support is notoriously inconsistent. Your system may or may not be capable of RTC wake.

I was also expecting it to put the server to sleep at midnight but it didn't put it to sleep. 

Take a look at the settings for the plugin with Help on. There is a way to save a log to determine why your server didnt sleep. I would take a shot in the dark and guess its a disk spindown issue, such as your cache disk being included in the list but never being able to spindown.

Is there a way to exclude disks that are outside the array (unassigned devices in my case)? 

 

edit: solved my issue (stubbed a ssd that was reporting weird temp values), but general question still applies

Getting this on a lot of settings pages:

 

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/dynamix/include/DefaultPageLayout.php(501) : eval()'d code on line 62

Any ideas what is causing it?
 

Post diagnostics

Hello,

I have installed S3 Sleep a while ago (almost 2 months now) and my Unraid never went to sleep as far as I know. My config plugin config is in the attached screen. I also have running duckdns and OpenVPN docker container (I think that might be the problem?). No idea, to be honest, but I would like to use the sleep mode (it consumes around 75 Watts).

 

Also I am wondering if its possible to wake it up over VPN or at all? But I doubt it.

Just a quick question, I am wanting to know how I can adjust my PWM fans on my AIO to coincide with CPU temp? It looks as though it’s tied to hard drive temp but I have very quite 140mm noctua fans running at 100% for my drives so they’re always cool. I am trying Auto Fan from Dynamix but I don’t think it’s working properly as in the fan speed does not increase with cpu temp. 

 

As you can see my AIO noctua fans are running in the 200rpm range lol. Is Auto Fan purely tied to HDD temp? And if so is there any plugin tha.t will make fans work via CPU TEMP? Or unRaid is not capable of this so I’m stuck with BIOS Q-fan instead?

Regarding cache_dirs, is there a way to permanently exclude sub directories?

 

I need "_CCC SafetyNet" excluded...

 

I can't seem to to find a way of doing this?

I can not get the temperatures to be selectable  for motherboard cpu  array fan

driver is k10temp nct6775

 

my cpu  is a AMD 3600  on a Asus PRO WS x570 board...  

what do I need to get it to work.. I checked the ACPI  in bios  doesn't offer an enable disable  but anyone have same issue

 

AutoFan is not correctly ignoring drives I set in the Ignore section. I set my NVME SSD to be ignored, but in the logs it's still adjusting based on that drive which results in 100% fan speed most of the time. Seems others have reported this with NVME drives. Is this still supported?

I think I had same issue and I believe I fixed it by adding this line in my go file on flash drive (and rebooting):

modprobe it87 force_id=0x8628

 

Others have said this one fixes it:

modprobe nct6775force_id=0xd120

@ramesivi ok thank you ill give that a try on the weekend and let you know...

 

@ramesivi neither worked for me.. I typed both in    and clicked save..     I tried to LOAD driver  but it couldn't load     all I can do is detect and detects the one I menitioned..  and is the only one I can load  

any other tricks

are you running the same board as me.. anything else I need to install

I tried another board a MSI  X570 PRO-A board... still nothing  nothing working  and you cant load the driver names  you mentioned

it will only detect

k10temp nct6775

 

is there any other tricks  to get ryzen cpus to display...  heck it wont even display motherboard  on the MSI board  so why doesn't it work? 

is there an MSI driver?

Look back at my earlier post if you are looking to get the system temp. 

if your talking about 

modprobe it87 force_id=0x8628

or

modprobe nct6775 force_id=0xd120 

 

then like I mentioned  doesn't work... doesn't work in the go file doesn't work in manually typing it in..

neither works 

fpr a Ryzen 3600     in a MSI x570 PRO-A or a ASUS WS PRO X570-ACE motherboard

any other tricks then go  or entering it in

and like I said all that will detect is 

k10temp nct6775

 

so wondering if there is any other tricks

The sleep plugin is know for being defunctional for quite some people since the last update nearly two years ago.

You could give this a try:

System Stats app in installed.

unraid have 16 days uptime, log crossed 50% line.

/var/log/atop/atop_20200212 is 74000K

is it because of app or something else?

atop is notorious for filling log space. Why are you using it?

Hi,

 

I tried to get system autofan to work on my HP DL380p G8 server.  The fans are running much higher than my vmware servers (same model).  

I enabled it and when I click detect nothing happens.  Am I missing anything.  

Thanks

Hi,

firstly sorry, I thought I answered you already.

 

Thanks for response. I tried to comment out those three lines and change the condition, then put it back into .txz file (zipped it and then with xz I turned it into .txz). Sadly, I haven't found what to change in that .plg file and it doesn't show version 3.0.6.1. (added it into commentaries at the top of s3_sleep file).

 

File that you attached to that post is no longer available, so if you could upload it for me again it would be great .

 

Thanks once again for respoding, I already though it wouldn't get answer.

You must calculate the MD5 hash of the new txz and add edit that in the plg. Than reboot your server and you should use the edited script.

Btw i can download the attache file without any issues.

oh its just md5sum command on linux? that should be easy then
