tillo Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Hi, I have a SAS drive and it just wont spin down :'( :'( :'( :'( As far as I can tell this is just the way it is, it is stated under known issues in the release note for unraid 6.2 Is someone working on this, is it gonna be fixed? Whats happening? Best regards Tillo Quote Link to comment
1812 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 -bump for sas support!- when my sas drives are xfs, they spin down, but no when btrfs. also, temp display? Also funny: disks show as spun down but still usable.... Quote Link to comment

Also funny: disks show as spun down but still usable.... Another bump for SAS and spindown support. Have an LSI 9207-8i. Am also seeing * for temp display and would love to have temp display. Not a programmer, but willing to help in any way I can. Quote Link to comment
JohnJ Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Is SAS spindown working these days? Had to revert to NAS4Free and postpone the purchase of a license, but would love to return back. Quote Link to comment
tonynt Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 I too am unable to get SAS spindown working. I'm using the Supermicro aoc-sas2lp-mv8 cards with SAS drives. Quote Link to comment
AnnabellaRenee87 Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Another shameless bump. My new Parity drive is a 4TB SAS drive, it never spins down. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment

Aaron Oz Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 It doesn't look like SAS spin down is on development radar. I bet $10 that Unraid just isn't able to spin down SAS drives My log just fills up with this (I think it best to remove SAS drives from spin down): Jan 20 13:21:10 Tower kernel: mdcmd (132099):

hasselltech Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 I found this link that may be able to assist with this problem but I don't currently have a dev unraid system to test this on. If anyone is willing, I'd appreciate finding out if this works on unraidhttps://zackreed.me/spindown-sas-disks/ Quote Link to comment

It does not appear to put the drives to sleep or UnRAID isn't seeing them as asleep. I was able to manually put them to sleep using sdparm --command=stop. I ended up stopping my testing there. I didn't wait to see if UnRAID would wake the disk on activity. Quote Link to comment

I didn't wait to see if UnRAID would wake the disk on activity. Thanks. I was able to set up a test host and the problem that I was experiencing was that the disk would spin immediately back up and I was not able to determine why at the time. I plan to do more testing when I have the chance. For those interested, sdparm is available from the Nerdpack plugin. Quote Link to comment
Hawkie Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Does anyone have an update on the current status of spindown of sas drives ? Any progress for a solution ? My electric bill is killing me. Quote Link to comment
doron Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 A data point: My SAS drives (HGST HC520, relatively new crop) appear to spin up and down properly for Unraid, in the sense that the GUI shows them as spun down and turns their temp display into "*", and there are no i/o sense errors in syslog. However, spin down seems to not actually happen, judging by the fact that clicking "spin up" on the GUI "spins them up" instantly, and their temp remains around 30C while my spun down SATA drives wake up at around 24C. Connection is via an on-board LSI 2308 chip. Quote Link to comment
Spies Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 What exactly is causing spindown to be broken for SAS drives? Is it a Kernel issue? How does unRaid communication with SAS drives differ to that of SATA? Quote Link to comment

Unraid uses hdparm to spin down drives, and hdparm doesn't work with SAS devices, they need sdparm, LT is working on adding support, but it's not a simple thing, especially with limited hardware available for testing.

JimJamUrUnraid Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 I just got some SAS drives and have been wondering why they won’t spin down, and why my log file is filing up. Now I know. It would be really great if SAS support was added. Quote Link to comment
