Today I was trying to get into the properties of a share and only half the information got displayed in the web page. When I tried to go back the session timed out. I am not unable to get into the web gui of my server from any computers on my network, the browser sessions just time out. I can SSH into the server, what are the commands to unmount the array and to cleanly reboot the server?

 

Thanks

 

 

reboot

 

Will that cleanly unmount the array though? I don't want to end up with the server rebooting and doing a parity check.

 

It will if it can, after 60 seconds it will reboot anyway, or whatever time you set if it's not the default.

I have about five dockers running too, guess there is no way to manually stop them is there?

That command will try to cleanly shutdown all dockers and VMs in the allotted time.

Is there a way to extend the 60 seconds? Are there any switches to the reboot command?

AFAIK only in the webGUI, but that doesn't help you now.

Ok thanks. I am pretty sure every time I have done a reboot command it's resulted in the server doing a parity check.

You'll need to check the generated diagnostics to try and find what's holding it up.

Yeah don't know, the server had been up for 158 days, may have just been time for a reboot, lol. It did eventually gracefully reboot, although the logs indicate a dirty shut down it did not start a parity check on reboot, during the shutdown I was watching the console and it was able to stop the dockers and unmount the array before it rebooted.

Normally the GUI, but the value is stored in the file disk.cfg in the folder /boot/config (= /config on your USB device).

shutdownTimeout="90"

 

Ok thanks Bonienl, it was interesting to watch the console during the reboot, the whole process probably took 5-6 minutes before the server actually rebooted, it took probably half of that shutting down the dockers, then I saw that it was able to unmount the array.
