pfp Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 I'm trying to stop my array but it will not unmount disks. I'm nearly certain this is being caused by cache dirs and that i need to run the command cahe_dirs -q. Problem is i don;t know where this file is located to run that command. Any help please. Also what do i need to do to make sure this doesn't happen? Thank you Quote Link to comment

The cache_dirs script in the plugin has been updated for V6 and was modified to help this situation. If you are using the plugin, cache_dirs can be stopped from the gui. Quote Link to comment
pfp Posted January 7, 2016 Author Share Posted January 7, 2016 Yes, I believe it is. It's definitely listed under plugins. Problem is that the gui is unresponsive since i selected to stop the array. telnet still works fine though. Quote Link to comment
dlandon Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Install this plugin and it will help you find the problem: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=42881.0 Quote Link to comment
pfp Posted January 7, 2016 Author Share Posted January 7, 2016 Can you point me in the right direction of how to install this through a command line since my gui is unresponsive. Also will this plugin help me right now if the gui is unresponsive? Quote Link to comment
pfp Posted January 7, 2016 Author Share Posted January 7, 2016 I found a blog post that mentioned this command: fuser -mv /mnt/disk* /mnt/user/* That helped me figure out what was holding the shutdown up and resolve the issue. Looks like I owe cahe_dirs an apology as it was was not the culprit (but it did have a record to support the suspicion ) Quote Link to comment
dlandon Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 It won't help you if the gui is not working. Do you have the powerdown plugin installed? If so then do a 'reboot' at the command line or press the power button quickly to initiate a shutdown. Try 'killall find' on the command line. If none of this works, you'll have to do a hard power down and let the parity check run. One you get the gui back do the following: - Verify that you have not manually installed cache_dirs in the go file. If so remove it. - Install powerdown plugin if not already. - Install open files plugin. - Go to the open files gui, click the 'Help' button and follow the instructions to troubleshoot what is not shutting down.

dlandon Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 That'll do it. Install the powerdown plugin to fix this in the future. Quote Link to comment
pfp Posted January 7, 2016 Author Share Posted January 7, 2016 Already did based on your earlier suggestion. Quote Link to comment
