Hello,

I've been using the S3 Sleep plugin for ages without issues. But for a while now I've run into problems:

 

Sometimes when I put the system to sleep using the button on the main page instead of going to sleep the server does a clean shutdown.

 

More often the system does a clean shutdown immediately after waking up from sleep. This happens regardless of it waking up by manual button press or by using WOL. I've attached the diagnostics after this just happened. I couldn't find a reason for the shutdown in the previous syslog. It just states "shutdown[19899]: shutting down for system halt".

Hi, regarding autofan, It's working great, but I've noticed that the temperature of my cache NVMEs is not taken into account for  fan control. Apparently theres a fix thats not in the plugin yet. Did anyone make this work and can share how, maybe?

 

@Phoenix Down has posted a solution to this a while back, but it has not been incorporated into the autofan plugin. See link below for details. If you know what you’re doing you can mod your install of autofan plugin to not ignore the NVME temps.

 

I assume this will not be incorporated unless someone elects to fork and continue developing an alternative version of autofan, as it appears @bonienl is no longer actively supporting this plugin.

I have the same problem, fans are all spinning at full speed since updating to 7.0 and hoping for a fix soon?

 

Same here - after the update to 7.0 the fans spin up to 100% every other day - no matter what the temperature is. 

Only a reboot brings it back to normal

stop fan control, delete dynamix.system.autofan2.cfg rename dynamix.system.autofan1.cfg to dynamix.system.autofan.cfg, remove the line from the go script. then reboot, then start fan control

Thanks for this has resolved my fan issues massively, really appreciate it.

Glad to help

New to Unraid  so learning . Have set up a second serrver as backup and I want it to sleep when not in use. Installed S3 sleep plugin . Server will go to sleep but wont wake via a WOL . Board supports all sleep states . Reinstalled plugin and now see the SLEEP button doesn't show on main page.

Diagnosics attached.

Help please.

@dOM152 I'm affraid nobody official is maintaining these addons at the moment.

 

About WOL: did you set "g" as WOL options before sleep in the config-gui of S3? If so, it might not work from there. Another option would be to set it in the go file or create a user script running at startup. (ethtool -s eth0 wol g)

 

About the icon: maybe a reboot inbetween uninstall and reinstall could help?

Thanks for the reply. I hadn't set "g" but have done now and it works!

Its not broken, just "vice versa" 😉

You can fix this.

If the sleep plug-in is active, you can enter all drives (which you want to monitor) under "Monitor disks outside array:"

There is something "the other way around" - but it is working 😉👍

It seems the plugin does not recognise the array correctly (last update from 6.2020)

 

 

 

I recently tried S3 sleep plugin, i face the same issue, though all the drive in array are active, i get the below message.

All monitored HDDs are spun down

and after the inactivity timer, the server goes into sleep. I tried adding theh devices to monitor disks outside array to address this for now.

Shouldn't there be a permament fix for this ?

I am currently on UNRAID 6.12.10 with 

s3_sleep version: 3.0.11

 

(S3 sleep plugin version).

Is there anything I am missing here. ?

s3 sleep plg version update

Does anyone know if these plugins are under active development? I see that @bonienl hasn't posted since May of last year. Is he/she ok?

Can System AutoFan be used to achieve plain constant fan speeds by just setting each PWM Controller's Minimum PWM value field and emptying all the rest of the fields? Or could there still be some interactions with the drives' temperatures?

 

(As I only have two PWM headers being shared by five case fans, the drives and cards having very diverse temp. ranges and cooling needs that don't lend themselves to depend on drives' temps. only, and the case is in a storage room where noise isn't too much of a concern, I rather set fixed speeds that work for all situations)

The plugin is to control fan speeds based on hdd temps.

use your bios to set fan speeds

Sadly, I can't do that in an effective manner: the old motherboard's BIOS only allows for modes that either regulate fan speeds depending on temperature reads (which wouldn't deal correctly with my diverse storage units' types and situations: very different thermal ranges and airflow situations) or just let the fans go 100% uncontrolled. No fixed percentage settings available.

 

I think I've managed to work it out, though. The solution for setting a constant RPM seems to be:

1. Set the Maximum RPM Value to the desired speed.
2. Set the min/max storage temperature range to something that will never be reached, say, 80º to 90º C.

i am using unraid 7.0.0, tried to reset my unraid server with the Dynamix Factory Reset plugin.

i selected yes for"Keep Array and Pool assignments". while after i clicked FACTORY RESET and reboot my server, nothing changed.

is there any other way to reset my sever with data and array preserved?

You can do this:

 

backup the current one first and then recreate it using the USB tool and just restore the key, super.dat and the pools folder for the assignments.

could you tell me where is the super.dat? and i checked my pool folder, there is only cachs assignment no array info

/config/super.dat

what about the pool folder,  i only saw cache.cfg, no array assignment

The pool folder is for pools as its name says, array config is in the super.dat.

Hi,

 

I would like to make a suggestion for a new feature in the upcomming releases of "Dynamix Auto Fan Control":

- Add a new field in the configuration to set a fan name. 

- Display the fan name in the bottom bar of UnRAID.

 

Instead of the "flag" icon, the fan name could be displayed.

 

Thanks for your amazing work making these amazing plugins available to all of us!

plugin name missing

I am hoping a Good Samaritan can help me on my way to setting my share floors appropriately.  I downloaded the plug in and set it up in scheduler.  I tried some arbitrary minimum floor settings but I have no idea what I am doing and my log is still full of "shfs: share cache full".   I searched for documentation but have found nothing.  Can anyone give me a few pointers?  Thanks!

Thanks -  don't understand how the plugin works?  I see in the log that it was installed.  I set it up for daily.  My understanding is that it runs every day and assesses the files and sets the floor accordingly?  Yet it doesn't appear to be doing anything at this time.  Also, if it sets the floor based on the largest file it finds then why does it have a space for minimum?  Is that so I can ensure it doesn't go below a certain value?  And if so what should I set that to if I am depending on it to set the values accordingly?

should be double the size of the largest file you will be storing. and cache should be moved to the array daily at the latest

The plugin will just adjust the floor from now on for new files. if you had your min free space too low in the past and your cache is already overfilled it won't do anything about that.

It's a preventative measure, not a fix for when things are already wrong.

I started on this journey to stop my log filling up with this message "shfs: share cache full".  I deduce this is caused by the minimum free space on my cache?  It's set to 50GB.  It seems that a lot of my minimums are set to 50GB - perhaps a default.  So I am not sure I need to be adjusting the minimum free space on the shares?

 

I guess basically I want to know how to get rid of this warning.  Thanks.
