Not much I can do with that info. Have you adjusted the start count to be "1" and not "0"? If it can't save, there's something conflicting, like trying to assign 5 if it doesn't exists but in your case could be 4. I don't have your config, so can't test.

I appreciate your reply! Yes all of my tray count starts are set to "1".

But in the tray picker it has me picking trays 0-4

Do you have any suggestions? Thanks again

Edit: I read through some of the other posts and based on this post, I tried to switch the tray assignment count direction from left / bottom to right / bottom and I was able to select the correct tray numbers.

Ah, this is a weird bug. But easy to work around:

If you have only 1 column, set "Tray assignment count direction" to either "left/top" or "right/bottom" the two others are mainly only meaningful if you have more than 2 columns and then it works.

You can see it at the bottom, once the assignment is wrong, you will likely see something like disk order: 1 0 0 0 0, instead of 1 2 3 4 5 etc.

Update 2026.02.13

• Commit #491 - BUG: Benchmark did show only the first set number of results, and not the last as intended.

• Commit #489 - BUG: Tray assignment count direction could fail tray numbering if row/col is 1. If count order was selected to be "left/bottom" or "right/top" when rows or columns were set to 1, it would fail the counting. As these does not make any difference than selecting "left/top" or "right/bottom", the two others are removed from the selection if rows or columns are set to 1.

• Commit #487 - BUG: Read/written values could be carried over from another device in some situations, values should now return "null" if values doesn't exists.

@CtznSnips this should help avoiding the problem in the future.

Edited February 12Feb 12 by FlamongOle
Added update for .13 (nevermind the date, some places in the world it is correct though :p)

Update 2026.02.19

• Commit #486 - FEATURE: Edit color for SMART Errors/Overview now possible by selecting "SMART color theme" to "Custom" under Configuration tab. It will use the defined colors specified for data type or heat map colors.

• Commit #489 - IMPROVEMENT: Added updated help text for tray assignment count direction.

Hi team,

Is anyone else seeing an issue where most of their disks are marked as a SMART fail (Red in the dashboard), but when they go into the SMART detail,s it says passed?

What does the "SMART" tab in Disk Location say? For all I know, this might be colors specified by you. Feel free to post me the "Configuration" and "SMART" tab.

@FlamongOle I updated both my servers to 2026.02.13 (and 2026.02.19) and wanted confirm:

Commit #487 - BUG: Read/written values could be carried over from another device in some situations.

Is fixed. Thank you for your hard work!

Hey mate,

Apologies for the late reply. Please see the requested information below.

As "heat map" is selected, it will use the temperature thresholds set by Unraid (or the disks if SSD's).

Yellow is your "normal" temperatures, "red" is the critical temperatures. It might run hot, it might be that the values are set too low. You can set global disk temperature thresholds and per disk in Unraid. Disk Location will use these data, but it's not related to the plugin itself.

If you hover the red "LEDs", or go to Information tab, you might see the current temperatures and the thresholds if it's configured that way.

Hey mate.

If I hover over the top LED is states disk spun down, the middle LED states SMART failed, the bottom LED says temperature unavailable.

Need a debug file for that one, anything in common with disks in 2-13, like same controller or so? Temperature N/A is expected if the drives are spun down.

I think I see what's going on here now, and don't have time to fix this for some time (few months even maybe).

Anyway, some of the drives has been marked as "removed" earlier then re-added. Typically this duplication should not happen and I am not sure why or how that happened right now. When re-adding drives, it should change the status from "removed" to "in use". Removed drives won't have SMART status saved and thus why it says "FAILED".

To fix this, you might need to either wait for a fix someday, or you can:

1. go to System tab

2. create a backup

3. delete "devices" (only select "devices", you want to keep rest of the configurations you made, probably, but "History" devices will be wiped.

4. redo "SMART+DB"

5. go to "Tray Allocations"

6. assign devices to the slots again

7. profit, hopefully :p

Hey mate,

Your suggestion seems to have worked. It's been a few hours since following your instructions, and everything looks normal.

Thank you for your help and support.

I think I spoke too soon.

Yeah, came here to check this. I have a number of drives but with the storage prices these days and availability, I'm wanting to monitor them more closely. The drives I have in my array are all the same model and type, but only 2 of them are showing temperature data properly. The others are showing "temperature not available" even though UnRaid is seeing them fine.

An annoying bug, but understandable if it's not working at the moment with little time to fix. We appreciate your effort in keeping this plugin going! Until a fix is released, I'll just know to monitor via the main UnRAID dashboard.

Today is the 2nd time in the last week or so that I've gotten this warning message on my dashboard:

I do the Force SMART+DB as recommended and everything comes back, but I'm 99.999% sure I've never had this happen before.

Any thoughts or suggestions on fixing this so it stops happening?

Unraid v7.2.4

Disk-location v2026.02.19

Seems we missed space here between Boxes:

I will note that posting the question here seems to have resolved the issue. Always happens that way...

I've been using DiskLocation for ages and really appreciate it!

Unfortunately, I have an issue with the drive color display.
I have this peach/orange color for the parity drives

And my device information screen shows

Which seems cool, except that I only have 1 parity drive (the bottom WD in tray 5), not 2!

On the Tray Allocations page, there's a "Reset All Custom Colors" button and it also says "or choose "Empty" color (first color listed) per device under "Custom Color" to reset, and then hit the "Save" button." but I'm not sure where this "Empty" color is. When I click one of the color buttons on the Config page, I get the standard (really old) Windows color chooser

Is one of these supposed to be the "Empty" color?

I did just try the "Reset All Custom Colors" button and it did reset the tray 14 color to blue (it used to be my parity drive, so it's not totally unreasonable that it would have been the parity color).

I've spent 15 minutes or more messing with this and being confused by it. I guess there isn't any issue per se, but I think that maybe the button could use a title text change (maybe I didn't have custom colors, because they didn't change - I've had this running for ages and am very appreciative of your work!), and the additional text could use some additional clarity - maybe it was written on a non-Windows based system that presents the user with an "empty" color option.

Or.... it just hit me, the "Empty" color is the grey color. Was I supposed to chose that one? Would that have reset just the one parity drive?

Maybe I'm just being dense, but this is a bit confusing to me and there is no help around this particular option.

Maybe the issue is just that I don't know what the default colors are, so having to push the "Reset All Custom Colors" button is a bit scary because I don't know how much work I'd have to do to get it back to the way it is (with the exception of the incorrectly colored drive).

Maybe something that indicates that a color is changed from the default might be helpful. I ended up selecting all the colors and screen shotting the hex codes for them in case I needed to reset everything to these colors because I decided I didn't like the defaults...

@Free Man The colors goes in this priority:

disk > group > common

If "disk" has a custom color, then it will override both "group" and "common", regardless what the others are set to. If "group" has a custom color but "disk" doesn't, "group" color will be chosen over "common"

To reset color per disk or group, the "common empty color" should be used to reset. That is whatever the "empty" color is specified as, not the original Disk Location color, unless if that's being used.

This is rather intentional as it gives more flexibility for various layouts. If you just wanna add an empty section, you can add number "11" and hide it. Or just create a new group consisting of just 1 tray, move it in between, then hide that.

I can't replicate this, so need a debug file in that case. Make sure the drives are not in standby mode, then temps are not monitored. It does not use same data as Unraid, but probes itself.

Any specific controllers used for drives?
