Any chance of getting fs.inotify.max_user_instances added to this plugin?  I had to increase that because of a Plex issue, but not sure if it is going to persist after reboot.  Would love to be able to set that and the existing one (max_user_watches) both.

 

Thank you!

Yes.

I only seem to have powersave and performance in the scaling governor. Does anyone know why?

 

Update. Okay having read through it is because that is all that is offered by Intel P-state driver it seems. Do you get to choose a driver or just have to haev the one it defaults to? I have an Intel i7 9700 8 core CPU.

The issue with a server hangup when changing from turbo ON to turbo OFF can be mitigated by stopping the main array. Making the change then starting array again.

 

I'm still not sure what causes the issue but basically the server looses responsiveness and cannot be pinged.

 

Doe anyone else have any issues? I am on 6.12.6 with a intel 11900t

Anyone here with an AMD Ryzen? I’m using the 5800x3d on unraid. Changed the governor from performance to ondemand. But I read that there’s an AMD specific driver that is supposedly tailored for these Ryzen cpus? Is that true? Like it’s stated here:
 

Quote

amd_pstate_epp This "active" driver implements a scaling driver with an internal governor for AMD Ryzen (some Zen 2 and newer) processors.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/CPU_frequency_scaling#Scaling_drivers

Has anyone used this at all in unraid? Or should I leave it as ondemand/performance realistically?

I haven't heard of that driver, but I will confirm that "Ondemand" does work for my 3960x (Zen2) as far as I can tell, within the "Tips & Tweaks" plugin.  *Also, "Enable Intel Turbo/AMD Performance Boost?" seems to work as well.  The biggest difference is between "Power Save" and "Performance". YMMV I guess.

CPU Intel 13500H

 

The issue is if I turn turbo off then turn back on it stays off until a reboot.

It's a minor issue but have seen it on 2x Intel cpus. First one is a 11900T & this one is a 13500H.

 

Does anyone else experience this? The new CPU is very good at stepping down so not such an issue.

Turn off turbo boost and then go to a command line and run this command:

/usr/bin/flock -x -w 1 /sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/no_turbo -c 'echo "0" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/no_turbo'

Let me know if this command generates any errors.  If there are no errors, does the turbo boost turn back on?

Hmm thanks yeah turbo seems to turn back on with this command as now boosting back up past 2.6Ghz which is the turbo off limit. 

 

Does the right side of Tips and Tweaks show the proper status of the turbo mode when you turn it back on?
