Hey all, I've had this problem for the last two weeks.  Every time I reboot the server it wants to run a parity check as soon as it starts.  I let it run last night and finished with zero errors.  This morning I reboot again, right after the parity check, and it wanted to do a parity check yet again.  Is something wrong?  Machine has been running flawlessly for the last two years

Are you getting a clean stop/shutdown? Are all drives unmounting properly? Are you shutting down using the "power down" button on the web interface?

Are you "Stopping" the array before powering down?  If not, it must check parity since unRAID does not know if the array parity can be trusted.

This morning I just typed reboot in the telnet window to see if it would run parity right after I know parity was checked and passed.  Otherwise I either from telnet type halt, reboot or hit the power button on my case and it shuts down what I thought was cleanly, says its unmounting file systems and a few other things, takes about a minute for each way. 

 

Just tried stopping parity first and typed reboot and all is fine now. 

 

If I install the power down script will that replace my halt and reboot commands so I don't have to stop parity manually?

 

thanks

Typing reboot, or halt will not stop the array cleanly. You must expect a full parity check upon reboot.

 

Typing

powerdown

will cleanly stop the array IF none of the disks are busy.  (if all can be un-mounted)

 

If you install the "powerdown" add-on package, it will stop the array and shut down even if disks are busy by terminating the processes keeping them busy.  It is installed at /sbin/powerdown.

sounds good, thanks
