Hello,

 

I'm running unRaid 6.7.2 Stable.

I've noticed a problem with the parity check scheduler not functioning properly.

Its currently set to run a check monthly. However, the parity check runs every Sunday morning and I get a report emailed. Its always been running every Sunday even though its set to monthly, so this is not a new problem. Just reporting it now

 

Looking for some help to figure it out...

 

Thanks!

Make a change to the schedule, then revert the change and apply.  Should be fixed.  There was a rc in either 6.6 or 6.7 that messed up the schedule.

Thanks, I'll try that again. Had done it a couple of times in the past but didn't work. Will know how it goes this weekend

The parity check was supposed to run on Nov 1, as configured in scheduler, but didn't. Instead, it ran on Sunday, which is the built-in default.

So the issue still persists.

Can you post a screenshot of your schedule settings, and the output of

cat /etc/cron.d/root

Screenshot below:

 

cron file:

# Generated docker monitoring schedule:

Can you post your diagnostics.  That should work

Diagnostics attached. Thanks

The parity check ran again last night, got an email confirmation

I don't know.  Personally, I have mine set to Custom and running on the first Saturday of the month to take advantage of lower hydro rates

Yea, mine is similar, once a month but keeps running every Sunday.

I disabled the parity check in scheduler for a couple of weeks, but it still ran every Sunday LOL!!

Not sure what to do... I've enabled it again for Monthly but doubt it will work
