rpimonitor and spin off external hard drive


nepo

Recommended Posts

Hi

orange pi +2e with

Distribution: Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS

Kernel version: Linux 3.4.113-sun8i armv7l

rpimonitor installed with sudo armbianmonitor -r

 

I use Rpimonitor to control temperature, upgradable packages and cpu frequency, nice tool !

Unfortunately it looks that rpimonitor has access to my external external hard drives, so no spin off .

I change rpimonitor config files

sudo nano /etc/rpimonitor/data.conf

#include=/etc/rpimonitor/template/sdcard.conf

and

sudo nano /etc/rpimonitor/template/Allwinner_H3_Extended_Mainline.conf

#dynamic.7.name=externaltemp
#dynamic.7.source=/tmp/externaltemp
#dynamic.7.regexp=(.*)
#dynamic.7.postprocess=sprintf("%.1f", $1/1000)
#dynamic.7.rrd=GAUGE

#dynamic.8.name=disktemp
#dynamic.8.source=/tmp/disktemp
#dynamic.8.regexp=(.*)
#dynamic.8.postprocess=sprintf("%.1f", $1/1000)
#dynamic.8.rrd=GAUGE

 

But no success

Only if I stoped rpimonitor service, my hard disks spin off.

 

Can anybody help

 

Bye nepo

 

@edit: With only armbianmonitor -m no problems

There's a helper script running in the background (IIRC rpimonitor-helper or such) where the relevant code line that writes to /tmp/disktemp should be accompanied by excessive comments how to prevent the issues (search for hdparm there, check manually and adjust). Feedback welcome!

hi

 

Services rpimonitor and rpimonitor-helper.service runs

but no information in /tmp/disktemp nor /tmp/externaltemp (the files exists), also by editing to the orig. conf-files.

sudo hdparm /dev/sda

I was talking about Checking/adjusting the GetDiskTemp function in /usr/local/sbin/rpimonitor-helper.sh. Most probably switching to hddtemp might already solve it (but hddtemp refuses to work with an amazing lot of USB-to-SATA bridges so test manually first)

GetDiskTemp() {
	# get disk temperate using hddtemp (doesn't wake up sleeping disks and knows how to deal
	# with different disks due to an included database with known disk models).
	
	# RawTemp=$(/usr/sbin/hddtemp -n ${1} 2>/dev/null)
	RawTemp=$(/sbin/hdparm -C ${1} | egrep -q "standby|sleeping" || /usr/sbin/smartctl -d sat -a ${1} | awk -F" " '/Temperature_Cel/ {printf ("%0.0f",$10); }')
	if [ "X${RawTemp}" = "X" ]; then
		# drive is sleeping, we return 0
		echo 0
	else
		echo ${RawTemp} | awk '{printf ("%0.0f",$1*1000); }'
	fi
	
	# The commented smartctl call below is meant as an alternative and an example for USB 
	# disks in external enclosures that are able to answer S.M.A.R.T. queries since they're 
	# SAT capable:
	#
	# /usr/sbin/smartctl -d sat -a ${1} | awk -F" " '/Temperature_Cel/ {printf ("%0.0f",$10); }'
	#
	# You should be aware that not every enclosure supports that and that some USB-to-SATA 
	# bridges require different parameters (eg. '-d usbjmicron' -- have a close look at
	# https://www.smartmontools.org/wiki/Supported_USB-Devices and test with smartctl to
	# get the correct value of the correct attribute).
	#
	# You should also be aware that a query by smartctl always wakes up sleeping disks. So 
	# in case you want to query an external USB disk only if it's neither standby nor sleeping
	# and in case the enclosure is SAT capable think about prefixing the smartctl call with 
	# something like:
	#
	# /sbin/hdparm -C ${1} | egrep -q "standby|sleeping" || /usr/sbin/smartctl ...
	#
	# In case you try to query multiple disks you might end up with something like
	#
	# case ${1} in
	#     /dev/sda) /usr/sbin/hddtemp -n ${1} ... ;;
	#     /dev/sdb) /usr/sbin/smartctl -d usbprolific -a ${1} ... ;;
	#     /dev/sdc) /sbin/hdparm -C ${1} | egrep -q "standby|sleeping" || /usr/sbin/smartctl -d sat ... ;;
	# esac
} # GetDiskTemp

It doesn't work :(

 

Is the helper-service necessary ? Without rpimonitor runs and hard drive spin down.
