It appears that unRAID halts the VMs too soon rather than giving it enough time to shut down. I have a vCenter VM and it takes ages to shut down. Anyway I can adjust the shutdown grace period to 120 or 180 seconds?

 

Cheers.

 

Moderator edit: To summarize the defect, it appears that the new variable shutdownTimeout is being referenced from ident.cfg but stored in disk.cfg.  See farther down.

Set:

 

shutdownTimeout="#seconds"

 

In /boot/config/ident.cfg.

Thanks. I'll give it a shot.

I set shutdownTimeout to 180 seconds. Doesn't seem to be working.

Durrrrrrrr. I'm not too smart. Or I'm too smart for my own good. I directed you to edit the file manually, but there's a GUI setting for that already. It's under Disk Settings, Shutdown time-out.

Oh interesting. Thank you.

So you know what is interesting? I cannot change the 60 seconds value to anything. When I click apply the page just refreshes and the value is still 60...

It's a new feature, added in 6.2.1, so it's possible there's a bug.  You may well be the first to try setting it.

 

Kode54 mentions it being in ident.cfg, which I assume he found by looking at the code?  It's actually being stored in disk.cfg, so that may be the bug.  Try editing the value shutdownTimeout in disk.cfg...  If that works, I'll move this to the Defects board.

Confirmed. Editing disk.cfg manually through the cli and rebooting makes the difference. Edited shutdownTimeout to 180, upon reboot it was respected and displayed in the webGUI.

I mentioned ident.cfg because that's where the /etc/rc.d/rc.local_shutdown script sources it from on 6.3.0-rc3:

 

# Get time-out setting
/usr/bin/fromdos </boot/config/ident.cfg >/var/tmp/ident.cfg
source /var/tmp/ident.cfg
TIMEOUT=${shutdownTimeout:=60}

There are two problems.  One is the "Shutdown time-out" cannot be changed on the webGui, and the other is that even if it is changed manually it is not respected and the time out defaults to 60 seconds when a shutdown is initiated.
