Posts: 129 Hi,

I just built my 1st unRAID server using the Atlas thread. I am on unRAID 5b11.
I would like to know the best way to stop the unRAID server, both from the
WebUI and from command line.

Command-line:
I currently use "showdown -h now" to stop the server. It works for now
because I don't have a parity drive assigned but I am assuming that using this
command will trigger a parity check once I have assigned a parity drive.

I saw a post by Joe L. where he talks about a script but the post is really old. I
am not sure if it is still applicable. His script is:

Code: [Se le ct]

# Stop Samba
killall smbd nmbd

# Kill any processes using the disks

for fs in /mnt/user /mnt/disk*
do
if [ ! -d ${fs} ] ; then continue ; fi
for pid in $(fuser -cu $fs 2>/dev/null)
do
kill -TERM ${pid}
done
done

#un-mouunt the disks

for disk in /mnt/disk*
do
/bin/umount ${disk}
done
WebUI:
Is#itSbest to
top theustop
nRAIDthe array
array first and then go to command line and use the
shutdown
echo stopcommand?
> /proc/mdcmd

Thanks for
echo "The all

The best option is to install the powerdown script. It is an old script, but it still
works well. With that script installed, you can either stop the array and press
'power down' on the GUI, or type 'powerdown' in the command line interface.
