Version: FreeNAS-8.3.1-RELEASE-p2-x64 (r12686+b770da6_dirty)
UPS model: APC Back-UPS CS 500, connected via USB
The issue I'm having here is: FreeNAS won't shut down according to a modified battery.charge.low field (shutdown mode: UPS reaches low battery, shutdown timer 1 second).
upsc ups@localhost gives me
(etc)
Once the UPS reaches 10% it keels over and completely shuts off - shutdown hadn't started by that point, at least I didn't get an email about it.
So, I tried adding override.battery.charge.low = 35 to the auxiliary parameters so it should begin shutdown at 35% - but it carries on past this anyway, despite the new setting being reflected by upsc.
It's not a case of the OS gets ready for shutdown, but the hardware doesn't finally power off - it's all still running (can access the shell, CIFS shares etc). I tried setting a custom value for override.battery.runtime.low too - this is ignored as well.
If I set it the shutdown mode to UPS goes on battery this works, but I have to specify a fairly short amount of time to be safe, when if the UPS is fully charged it'll run for around 10 minutes.
Help!
Apologies if this has been covered already and I missed something.
