Whatever webGui is chosen, it all comes down whether emhttp stays alive or not ... Isn't it about time that all of the developers of webGUI's set the priority level of emhttp (I probably have the wrong terminology here as I am not a Linux expert) so that it does NOT get killed when resources get tight? I seem to recall seeing that it only takes a simple command that can be run from a script. I think that would be a function of emhttp and the OS and therefore up to Tom, not the webGUI developer.

Same here. I think you need IPMI support to read the hardware monitoring data beyond CPU temp and I'm not sure if that works with the Dynamix system temp feature.

Thanks very helpful. I think the k10temp module is built in and doesn't need to be loaded via the go file. Haven't tried yet though. This should also work with Dynamix. I'd also be interested in getting this working! The only module available in the stock kernel will give you CPU temp. To do it; Put the following in /boot/custom/sensors.conf; # lm-sensors config chip "k10temp-pci-00c3" label temp1 "CPU Temp" Then add the following to the end of your /boot/config/go file; cp /boot/custom/sensors.conf /etc/sensors.d modprobe k10temp Reboot and your CPU temp should show. To get the other sensors we need to get the JC42 module found at http://khali.linux-fr.org/devel/lm-sensors/drivers/jc42/ compiled.

Something with a GUI... You can make a bootable USB disk with PMagic, that's the swiss army knife for everything disk related. Great idea! Does Parted Magic have something in particular that can be used as a "burn-in" or stress test? Thinking of pmagic made me think about ultimate bootcd as another possibility. Although most of those utilities don't have a GUI, they are usually sufficiently automated that he'd be ok. Maybe.

Traditionally, the `badblocks` command from the e2fsprogs package is used to torture-test new disks. (google linux man badblocks). badblocks -vsw /dev/sdX With the default settings, the final pass will leave the disk cleared to all zeros. On Windows, you could run that command in Cygwin. Still too scary for him I think. I may as well just have him boot unRAID off a flash drive and use preclear. Maybe I should have specified something with a GUI.

Is there anything like preclear or another burn-in utility for HDDs that runs under Windows? Trying to help out my brother who has a new Netgear ReadyNAS. He doesn't have unRAID and no spare PC that he could even temporarily run it on. Besides, any sort of linux command line stuff would scare him away.

This. (but save it for post 5.0)

Any tips on getting hardware sensors working with simplefeatures 1.0.11? Anyone have temperature-based fan speed control working?

Great idea to put it on git an let the community contribute (not that I can do so, but there are some smart cookies on this board).

+1!

Anyone want to post a pic of the badge?

I have a brand new 3TB Hitachi 5K3000 that just finished 3 preclear cycles with 58 reallocated sectors (and 70 reallocated events?). Final SMART output is attached. Preclear actually said that there were 0 sectors pending reallocation after the 1st 2 passes, but if you look at the individual "smart_mid_post_read1" log, it really shows up after the first pass (bug in preclear?). This is confirmed by these entries in the syslog during the first pass, with no similar entries in later passes: Sep 5 10:24:20 tower kernel: sd 3:0:0:0: [sdc] Unhandled error code Sep 5 10:24:20

Unfortunately, Newegg doesn't have any more of these in stock, so an exchange through them may not be an option. I'd hate to RMA a brand new drive and get a refurbished one back.
