December 3, 201510 yr Upon re-reading smartctl for different controllers, the numbers can range from 0-127 or 1-128. Will make something which can accommodate that and still user-friendly. The self-test button is only enabled when the drive is active, this is tested by the code using hdparm. I can add that state "unknown" is seen as "active".
December 3, 201510 yr Wow okay up to 128 is kinda much, but who knows if and when unRAID will support more than 25 disks - so it should be good to go that high just for sure. At least when using a RAID-controller, state "unknown" could be added. It did work when the disks were plugged in the mainboard, but does not work with the controller card - so when using a controller card, "unknown" could be ignored at least for the self-tests - guess that should not be a problem for being a little bit incorrect here
December 3, 201510 yr I've made another update, which hopefully addresses all outstanding points. Download the attached file, unzip it and install manually: installpkg dynamix.smart.update-2015.12.04.txz Thanks for your feedback! dynamix.smart.update-2015.12.04.zip
December 4, 201510 yr After upgrading through the GUI, rebooted the server and started a parity check early this morning. I logged in to see the status this evening and was surprised to see this message: " unRAID Parity check: 03-12-2015 14:25 Notice [TOWER] - Parity check finished (0 errors) Duration: unavailable (no parity-check entries logged) " Typically it takes about 13 hrs to complete the parity check and the last time it was couple of days ago on 12/1 with 0 sync errors. What does the above update mean?
December 4, 201510 yr Anyone seeing performance issues? I updated to 6.1.5 and then a day or so later to 6.1.6 so I am not sure which version affected it, but in 6.1.4 there were no issues. I am noticing streaming shows from my server, via plex, video is skipping and jumping a bit. Audio seems fine, just the video. And no, it isn't a bad file, have tried with a few different ones, all seeing random skips and such since the upgrade to 6.1.5->6.1.6.

Try just playing the media directly with another device or try another media streamer to rule that out before we troubleshoot further.

I did check the Plexpass forum and didn't see anything off hand about the pausing issue. Playing same video just through Windows Explorer using VLC seems ok. Thanks!
December 4, 201510 yr For me plex has been crashing ever since the 0.9.14.4 update. I'm using plex android app and my bluray rips refuse to play. I can play dvd rips but the plex server eventually crashes 5 minutes into a movie.

Download the attached file, unzip it and install manually: installpkg dynamix.smart.update-2015.12.04.txz Thanks for your feedback! Hi boniel, thanks for your great work - we nearly have it! What is working now are all ports, so this is the first time I could show the SMART values of all disks that are attached to my RAID controller - very great! What also is working - beside the SMART details - are the self-tests! I can start them and see the result - worked on all disks (did a short test on all disks). Also great! One very last thing: See attached screenshot - the place at "Last SMART test result" still shows "disk spun down" instead of the last smart test result which obviously can be seen correctly in the history. (The other details below are capped but all valid!) So perhaps "disk spun down" should only be shown when the disk really is spun down and not when the state is "unknown". So same case as with the self-test buttons that all work now So except of this, everything else is working very perfect now - I have to say a big thanks!!! A really big one

Even doing a directory listing would just hang until I clicked spin up all drives and then everything worked as normal. When you see the slowness do you have drives powered down?
December 4, 201510 yr Is it possible to get disk level configuration on smart notification on drives that are not part of the array? I have a disk that is failing, but has been removed from the array, but still in the machine and I keep getting alerts about it.

I have a disk that is failing, but has been removed from the array, but still in the machine and I keep getting alerts about it. If you have Unassigned drives plugin installed then you can go to MAIN and click on the disk to get that functionality. It doesn't seem to work from the Dashboard screen though. So that might be a feature request still.

December 5, 201510 yr Who knows, maybe one day I update the Dynamix Stats plugin to graph parity check times I have a script that does this if you want to utilize it.

December 8, 201510 yr For those who want to retain their current parity-check information, please download the hot-fix file attached to this message. Unzip the file, copy the .txz file to your unRAID system and install manually: installpkg dynamix.hot.fix-2015.12.02.txz Delete the file /boot/config/parity-checks.log and wait a minute to have it automatically recreated. Apologies for all inconvenience! Ps. Hot fix works for both 6.1.5 and 6.1.6 I did as described here - actually installed the 2015.12.04 patch - but even after 20 mins the log didn't recreate by itself. I decided to create manually but no history button is visible nor is the last parity sync duration time. Should I reboot the server?

No need to reboot, you need to have notifications enabled though to make the background updating work.
December 8, 201510 yr System notifications are indeed on. Just the "store to flash" was off. I enabled it but still no history button... what am I doing wrong?
December 9, 201510 yr System notifications are indeed on. Just the "store to flash" was off. I enabled it but still no history button... what am I doing wrong? Did you delete the file parity-checks.log ?

No need to reboot, you need to have notifications enabled though to make the background updating work. I don't know if it applies to your situation but I had a similar problem. After following the instructions and deleting the file it never re-created itself after waiting a good 10 minutes. I re-ran the installpkg cmd from a putty session and that did the trick. works now. I also do not have save to flash enabled, just notifications. hope it works for you.
