What changed

  • Replaced the dead diskspeed.sh Unraid forums link in the diagnostics docs.
  • Updated the English diagnostics page to point users to DiskSpeed via Community Applications and the DiskSpeed GitHub repository for manual installation.
  • Removed obsolete /boot/scripts/diskspeed.sh chmod/bash instructions from the English and localized diagnostics pages.
  • Clarified that DiskSpeed hard drive benchmarks are read-only, while SSD benchmarks may write temporary benchmark files.

Why

The old forum topic link is no longer valid, and the manual script guidance no longer matches the newer DiskSpeed package guidance already present elsewhere in the docs.

Validation

  • rg -n "31073-disk-speed-test|forums\\.unraid\\.net/topic/31073|/boot/scripts/diskspeed\\.sh|bash /boot/scripts/diskspeed\\.sh|chmod \\+x /boot/scripts/diskspeed\\.sh" docs/unraid-os/troubleshooting/diagnostics/capture-diagnostics-and-logs.mdx i18n/*/docusaurus-plugin-content-docs/current/unraid-os/troubleshooting/diagnostics/capture-diagnostics-and-logs.mdx returned no matches.
  • git diff --check
  • curl -I -L --max-time 10 https://github.com/jbartlett777/DiskSpeed returned HTTP 200.

Per repo guidance, I did not run the full build.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Updated diagnostics troubleshooting documentation across all supported languages to recommend the DiskSpeed application for comprehensive disk testing and performance analysis.
    • Included installation guidance via Community Applications and GitHub, clarified DiskSpeed's read-only benchmark capabilities, and provided recommendations for scheduling tests during idle periods to minimize array I/O impact.

Purpose of the change:
- Replace the dead diskspeed.sh forum link with current DiskSpeed installation guidance.
- Keep the English and localized diagnostics pages consistent.

How behavior was before:
- The diagnostics docs told users to download diskspeed.sh from an old Unraid forum topic.
- The pages included manual /boot/scripts/ commands for a legacy script.
- The note stated the test was always read-only.

Why that was a problem:
- The forum topic link is dead.
- The guidance conflicted with the newer docs that describe DiskSpeed as a Community Applications package.
- SSD benchmarks can write temporary benchmark files, so the old note was too broad.

What the new change accomplishes:
- Directs users to install DiskSpeed from Community Applications.
- Links manual installation to the active DiskSpeed GitHub repository.
- Clarifies hard-drive read-only behavior and the SSD benchmark caveat.

How it works:
- Updates the English source page and matching localized diagnostics pages.
- Removes obsolete chmod/bash steps for the legacy script.

Poem

🐰 Hop along with DiskSpeed bright,
No more scripts to chase the night—
Six languages, one shared tool,
Now diagnostics are twice as cool!
From Community Apps, it all just flows,
Where benchmark wisdom grows! 🚀
