Interesting output after running script

The HDDs are all showing only the last 4 characters of their firmware version. This is due to a change in DSM 7.2

No M.2 cards found

That is actually referring to PCIe cards that you can install M.2 drives on like the M2D20, M2D18 and E10M20-T1.
I should change the "No M.2 cards found" to "No M.2 PCIe cards found" to make it clearer.

I've fixed the HDD 4 character firmware version issue and added auto-update, but the release is still RC.
https://github.com/007revad/Synology_HDD_db/releases/tag/v2.3.51-RC

The --autoupdate=[age] option requires a digit for the number of days after new version is released to wait before updating. You can use --autoupdate=0 to update right away. The script also reloads itself so when you run it unattended (scheduled) it can update itself and run the new version.

May I just ask here for the "unattended" - do you recommend scheduled tasks as root at shutdown or boot-up when running both hdd_db and enable_m2 script? The guide recommends both depending on script.

I didn't actually notice the lack of digits on the firmware version but glad to know it's another bug squished :)

Thanks for confirming what the M.2 line means also :)

And I really like how you've added that it will update itself and then run itself again. I'm going to wait for the official release though to be sure it's good :)

Just to confirm though, when I do set it, my current script is set in Synology Task manager with the script as follows:
/volume1/syno_hdd_db.sh

Would I change this to:
/volume1/syno_hdd_db.sh --autoupdate=0

or does it need to go in some quotes because there's a space like so:
"/volume1/syno_hdd_db.sh --autoupdate=0"

Thanks for all your help :)

@70m7E I don't think you need both scripts, I think the syno_hdd_db.sh script does it all.... but i'm not 100% so maybe @007revad could confirm?

I'm running M.2's as volumes and i'm only running the syno_hdd_db.sh script at boot personally.

@70m7E Yes, if you need the enable_m2 script I would add it to the same schedule as hdd_db, so you'd have 2 lines in the scheduled task: 1 for each script.

The syno_hdd_db.sh script is all that's needed for most current and recent Synology models.

/volume1/syno_hdd_db.sh --autoupdate=0

Yes.

You would need quotes if the path had a space, and then you'd only quote the path/filename part like:
"/volume1/my path/syno_hdd_db.sh" --autoupdate=0

If you want to also use the -n and -f options you'd use:
/volume1/syno_hdd_db.sh --autoupdate=0 -nf

Or
/volume1/syno_hdd_db.sh --autoupdate=0 -n -f
