First of all i would like to say that i'm very happy about my NAS 110, at least i was until FW 1000.1081.
I was connected to my home network for almost an year now and without any major issues.
Now whit the new FW it won't enter standby and heat's up a lot because of that.
A quick look at the problem was that HDD standby was not starting:
==> Assembling MD arrays ................................... [ OK ]
==> Updating disk information ............................. [ OK ]
==> Disabling HDD standby for /dev/sda .................... [ OK ]
==> Disabling HDD standby for /dev/sdb .................... [ OK ]
==> Disabling HDD standby for /dev/sdc .................... [ OK ]
==> Disabling HDD standby for /dev/sdd .................... [ OK ]
==> Disabling HDD standby for /dev/sde .................... [ OK ]
==> Disabling HDD standby for /dev/sdf .................... [ OK ]
==> Disabling HDD standby for /dev/sdg .................... [ OK ]
==> Disabling HDD standby for /dev/sdh .................... [ OK ]
....
==> Starting I/O Monitor for HDD standby ..................
==> Forcedly set passwd for username "licenser" .........
==> Checking whether system get abnormal shutdown ......... [ NO ]
==> Socket connection for raclientd .......................
==> Stopping nas_conf_db.xml tracker ...................... [FAIL]
==> Stopping raclient ..................................... [FAIL]
==> Starting raclientd .................................... [ OK ]
==> Starting config.xml tracker ........................... [ OK ]
==> Starting backup server service ........................
After i made some research and found the problem in an config file ( /etc/init.d/rcS):
# Turn on SMART in all hard drives
#a=`cat /proto/SxM_webui/admin/config.xml | grep hddstandby`
#b=${a#*hddstandby>}
#b=${b%</hddstandby*}
#for i in "a" "b" "c" "d"; do
# /bin/echo -n "==> Enabling SMART for /dev/sd${i} ........................... "
# /usr/sbin/smartctl --smart=on /dev/sd${i} >/dev/null 2>&1
# if [ "$?" == 0 ]; then
# /bin/echo "[ OK ]"
# else
# /bin/echo "[FAIL]"
# fi
#
# if [ "$b" == "ON" ]; then
# /bin/echo -n "==> Enabling HDD standby for /dev/sd${i} ..................... "
# # set 15 minutes for HDD standby timer
# /usr/sbin/sendidle -t 180 /dev/sd${i} >/dev/null 2>&1
# if [ "$?" == 0 ]; then
# /bin/echo "[ OK ]"
# else
# /bin/echo "[FAIL]"
# fi
# else
# /bin/echo -n "==> Disabling HDD standby for /dev/sd${i} .................... "
# /usr/sbin/sendidle -t 0 /dev/sd${i} >/dev/null 2>&1
# if [ "$?" == 0 ]; then
# /bin/echo "[ OK ]"
# else
# /bin/echo "[FAIL]"
# fi
# fi
#done
# Turn off HDD standby
for i in "a" "b" "c" "d" "e" "f" "g" "h"; do
/bin/echo -n "==> Disabling HDD standby for /dev/sd${i} .................... "
/usr/sbin/sendidle -t 0 /dev/sd${i} >/dev/null 2>&1
if [ "$?" == 0 ]; then
/bin/echo "[ OK ]"
else
/bin/echo "[FAIL]"
fi
done
/bin/echo "==> Starting I/O Monitor for HDD standby .................. "
#/usr/bin/php -q /usr/sbin/monitor_io.php 2>/dev/null 2>&1 &
/usr/bin/php -q /usr/sbin/monitor_iomonitor.php 2>/dev/null 2>&1 &
Can someone from development tell me why was that function disabled? Did it interfere whit another process?
Hdd standby was a good thing helping the disk to cool down, extend lifetime and reduce general power consumption. Reason for me to buy this product in the first place.
Thank you in advance.
