My first go at a little "Paint Love" customization. Can't really read the 3 lower boxes on the slots screen. They indicate blue for parity, green for data disk and grey for empty slot.

Okay that makes sense now. So it isn't writing anything to the flash just to RAM. The output isn't important just the fact I thought they were also writes to the flash drive.

Hi,
Today I notice like 3000 lines in the syslog from transmission; giving various updates. Can we change the location where this is saved as I assume that it just wrote 3000 times to the flash drive at /boot/custom/transmission?

Just bought a 1.5 TB EARS. I am going to use it as a server backup for all my data. Seeing as how it might be used later on in the unRAID array but most likely used in Windows 7 now and formatted as NTFS would it make sense to go ahead and jumper pin 7/8 before putting it into use? It is only going to be used currently outside the array as data backup of server user shares data.

The only thing now I guess is to find a way to make it persistent. I guess a package is in order now that we know it works.
I suppose I could dissect the transmission package as an example and see if I can make one. Keep in mind I have zero experience.

Okay, so I have 4.1 working now.
To solve the dirname: missing operand
Try `dirname --help' for more information.
Solved it by:
cd $(dirname $0)
if [ -e /bin/readlink ] || [ -e /usr/bin/readlink ]; then
cd $(dirname $(readlink -f $0))
fi
and reboot.

The newer beta releases of PS3 Mediaserver support alternate renderers of which I believe the Samsung TV are suported.

Any further work on this? This is the one thing I am missing to make me happy. Not that Joe L. is responsible for my happiness or nothing like that

Okay so did it without the jumper and with and all seems well. I had a monitor hooked up while booting and no errors or hangs were evident. Sp can I now run a pre-clear on it and add it as parity or do I not need to run a pre-clear if using it for parity?

Hi,
I have finally settled on unRAID as my server solution after trying out everything under the sun. I have a 1 TB EARS without the jumper in use formatted to NTFS that I am about to add as the parity drive.
To be clear do I just delete the partitions in Windows, then add the jumper and insert it into unraid, run a pre-clear and then add it as parity?
Is this enough?
Kryspy
Gotcha. They most likely removed it from the newer drives firmware due to the many complaints about high Load_Cycle_Count numbers. But I see mine is fine at a whopping (1)

Hi,
After running pre-clear on my Western Digital 1 TB EADS drive it comes up with a load_cycle_count variance. I have attached a picture of the screen-cap.
I assume after deciphering this is what it should say:
ID# ATTRIBUTE_NAME FLAG VALUE WORST THRESH TYPE UPDATED WHEN_FAILED RAW_VALUE
<Load_Cycle_Count 0x0032 149 149 Old_age Always - 154581
>Load_Cycle_Count 0x0032 149 149 Old_age Always - 154582
Does this mean my drive is in danger of premature failure?
