July 24, 20196 yr I have a drive being rebuilt from parity that's 82% complete. We're having a major electrical storm and even though I have a UPS, the run time is less than 15 minutes. The rebuild estimates another 3 hrs to go. Can I pause the rebuild and power my unRAID down and unplug it from the wall until the storm passes?

Funny that the storm appears to have settled down during the last few minutes. No more lightning for the last 5 minutes. It was giving quite a show with close-by strikes that had little to no recognizable delay for the thunder, so it was pretty close. I live near a power substation that often gets hit during these storms, but looks like this one has passed by. Definitely would be a great feature to allow a pause of a rebuild and power-down, and then resume when it's safe. I'm sure users in hurricane/tornado prone areas would appreciate this too.

Currently you can pause but only resume if the server isn't shutdown, but resume after shutdown is planned for the future.

I was going to post in the Feature Request sub-forum as I saw related topics, but not one specific to this. Not a major issue. but glad to hear it's planned. I definitely need to find the misplaced cable for my UPS so unRAID can at least automate the shutdown process when necessary. Right now I have to do it manually, which isn't a big concern as I'm home most of the time and will get alerted when the UPS is in play. But sure enough, it'll happen when I'm out for an appointment or grocery shopping. I was considering a new UPS too, one with a longer runtime. Plus the batteries in the current unit are 3 years old so they should also be replaced. Since we're in the season of these summer storms, I think that I need to at least get new batteries, if not a new UPS. That's the plan for today now.
