Hi great plugin!  I am running 6.7.2 and get this error when installing the plugin:

 

Warning: SQLite3::query(): Unable to prepare statement: 1, no such table: settings_group in /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/disklocation/pages/system.php on line 1062

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to a member function fetchArray() on boolean in /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/disklocation/pages/system.php:1064
Stack trace:

thrown in /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/disklocation/pages/system.php on line 1064

 

Thanks
 

Try to delete it and reinstall it, if it still fails you have to delete the database manually and try again. Be sure to wait until the installation is done and reports it has done so successfully. 

 

rm /boot/config/plugins/disklocation/disklocation.sqlite

 

If you did an upgrade and want to keep settings, a backup file of v3 should be in the same folder. Just unpack it and write it over the existing database.

I decided to do three groups.  However, for some reason my cache disk is always set as unassigned for its color.  I think its because for some reason it wasn't getting the sdc identifier in the plugin.  A quick hack, I mean test in the SQLite database fixed it.

I tried this now and got the same problem, looks like something is partly ignoring the unraid flags, I'll look into it soon

@shaunmccloud It likely happened because your cache drive is an nvme drive and that unraid uses nvme0n1 device node name for identification. This would be left blank in this plugin as it saved only the device node, and not the scsi generic device node. It will now store scsigen dev node as dev node if it is empty.

In other words, should be fixed during next update.

Update 2019.07.06

  • Commit #90 - IMPROVEMENT: Adding a console window for "Force Scan" button, making it easier to see what's going on in the background.
  • Commit #89 - BUG: Cache drive get unassigned color if it is an nvme drive. Use SCSI generic device node name instead if device node name is null.

I wish I ghad a NVMe cache drive.  Its a Silicon Power 512GB SSD SATA drive.  I plan on adding 3 more to the cache array in the future.

Its also showing as unassigned again, if you want I can get you my SQLLite database and any other information you need to debug it.

There's the problem, for some odd reason, this "disk" does not get a LUN like the others, and falls back to "ATA SPCC Solid State Disk _" for whatever reason. I'm sorry I can't help you further here. I dunno why it hasn't received any LUN's though.

Has it been inserted with the server on, like hot swap? I dunno if that might be a problem or the SATA SSD controller itself. If a reboot doesn't help, then I dunno how to fix this. I never had that issue with any of the disks I had

Probably the SSD controller. It's plugged directly into a SATA Port on the motherboard. And idea why I can change the color of it in the plug-in?  That's all I really care about.

Because of the output above, I assume it can't detect the disk to assign the color to. It will fail hitting the device nodes as the output is outside the specifications of what the plugin can handle at the moment.

I might ditch the entire LUN in the future as I mainly don't use that anymore if I remember correctly.

Update 2019.07.07

  • Commit #94 - MINOR ISSUE: Some disks fail because of missing LUN. Skipping LUN during device validation, add LUN from SMART instead.

@shaunmccloud I am just way too nice 🥴

 

Do a "Force Scan All" to get all disks updated, the installer/updater only care about spinning disks (non-standby)! New devices may appear (like USB drives and SATA/RAID controllers) as they might provide SMART information... do whatever you want with them or just ignore them. Devices without SMART "serial number" and "model name" will be skipped, and they play a vital role in the database system - this will not be changed.

I changed the color of the data disks to a darker green (makes it easier to read the white text).  However, it only changed the data disks colors as shown.  The other 2 in slots 11 and 14 are still the default green.

Did you make sure that:

- You changed the "Data" color under the "Configuration" tab and not the "Custom color" under "Tray Allocations"
- Does not try to use the same color for "Custom color" as for those pre-defined under "Configuration"?

Custom colors works as an override and can not be the same as "Parity" "Cache" "Data" "Empty" or "Unassigned" pre-defined colors. Try to change 11 and 14 to f.eks. #FF0000 to see if it saves and uses those values, to reset to colors, you can use the predefined colors and it will automatically ignore it and use the pre-defined instead.

The drives you assign has to be recognized as "Data" drives by Unraid and connected to the device node. There's nothing which can interfere with the main colors, sure you haven't stored some custom colors for disk 11 and 14?

Do you use a different card for these drives, than the other drives - like raid card or something. Maybe lsscsi doesn't pick up the device nodes and then won't find the function it is assigned for. For Unraid/main colors, it uses only device node and not the scsi generic device node. I have no documentation about what Unraid stores if it does not get the device node name.

Nope - the data drives are all connected to the same sata/sas breakout cables connected to the motherboard.  The cache drives are connected to SATA header connections directly on the motherboard.

 

Here's the SCSI list from settings:

Then I suggest deleting the database and redo it, if that doesn't help, then I don't know what causes this. It should simply not be possible unless custom colors has been saved.

How would I best do that?  I've had it rescan the drives.  As you see in the image above, the app shows the 2 bright green drives as data drives.

Under "System Files" you can delete the database - you have to set up everything again, but it might help.
