Putting a series of harddisks in a box creates a lot of heat, and if a few 5dollar fans fail, the discs can seriously overheat very fast.

 

If SMART values are available, it might be possible to set a configurable shutdown-temp, so if a drive go above that temp, the server shuts down.

That would be a really nice feature.  Of course it should log which drive caused the problem so we don't have to do trial and error to figure it out.

That would be nice.

 

For me, the ultimate is:

 

* at X temp or less, fan speeds = low

* at X+1 to Y, fan speeds = high

* above Y speed = shutdown

 

I am trying to get a fan bus to take care of the first two items.  If Unraid would take care of the third, that would be great.

Great idea!  Added to Ye Olde Laundry List:

 

- implement drive over-temp spin-down
