noflushd broken on Ultra 4 Plus running 4.2.19
My brand-new Ultra 4 Plus with (4) identical drives appeared to be only spinning down the first two (sda and sdb). This is evidenced by the health screen that only shows two drives sleeping with no t...
I'm pretty sure I've narrowed it down to the serial number issue described above. The code explicitly sets max_disks=2 based on the serial number, and then noflushd stops looking for disks after it finds the first two. And FWIW, this is an Ultra 4 Plus, so maybe that makes the serial number higher than an Ultra 4?
Case # 17153787. I have not tried the beta of 4.2.20 yet, as suggested in the response from Tech Support. I might try that this afternoon, though.
Drives are all ST31000528AS with firmware CC38. Yes, I realize they're not on the HCL.
Not sure which system logs you mean. I'm a Unix sysadmin, so be specific. :) The first block in my original post is the output of "noflushd -d -v -n 20 /dev/sd{a,b,c,d}". I didn't find anything useful in /var/log other than entries from noflushd (without "-d") saying it was spinning drives up and down. The evidence that it was only spinning down the first two comes from the Health screen in Frontview.
Thanks,
Dave
