Do these safely shutdown the array before shutting down?

Screen shots of the new GUI or is that still Top Secret.

Thanks I honestly didn't think it needed to, but some how some reason I thought it did.

The '"C" compiler and development tools' is a package in the package manager. Download and install it using the buttons in the package manager. You'll probably also need to download and install the "Infozip" package (it is at the end of the list of available packages) Otherwise, if you attempt to install the ssmtp package it will let you know if the gunzip program has not yet been installed. Then you can re-select the ssmtp mail package and install it. It should then compile. You may want to install the swap-file package if you only have 512 Meg of RAM, as you might not be able to compile otherwise without running out of RAM and causing the kernel to start killing off processes in an attempt to free some for itself. Don't forget to edit the fields on the ssmtp package for your e-mail provider. Does this need to be set to reinstall every reboot? The reason I ask is well I did and I was tinkering around with my case since I wasn't happy with the wire layout and I'm trying to figure out why one of my drives is acting up. Anyways I had everything set to reinstall and it almost appeared after reboot I coudn't get an ip address then I couldn't even view the contents of /boot from command line. It was like my machine went a little bonkers. I more or less erased my USB stick and started over. I don't have tons of time invested, but you know... just trying to figure out things and my data is protected either way.

Joe L. Thanks your help got it working just fine. It was kinda confusing because there wasn't anything plainly spelled out, but none the less you got me covered just fine and I thank you for that.

Thanks, This is the newest one after I downloded the updates and ran the installer. ssmtp_2.62.orig.tar.gz installation: The C compiler has not been installed. ssmtp compile not possible ssmtp_2.62.orig.tar.gz apparently did not install properly, /usr/local/etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf does not exist. I'm running a "Rebuilding Parity" right now and my machine is acting a little wonky so I'll give it another try in the morning. However thank you for jumping on that so quick I am really grateful.

Weird thing is when I look in the /boot/packages I see ssmtp_2.61.orig.tar.gz sitting there. I guess I'm a bit confused. Of course as a test I had test to see if it was actually installed. I looked through a few of these pages and found this. echo -e "Subject: a test\n\nThis is the email body." | ssmtp -d root which of course gave me this message. -bash: ssmtp: command not found

Trying to download/install the mail and ssmtp and I get this message from the package manager. (MD5 of existing downloaded file NOT matched - download may be corrupted or download URL no longer valid.) Not Found The requested URL /debian/pool/main/s/ssmtp/ssmtp_2.61.orig.tar.gz was not found on this server. I found ssmtp_2.61.orig.tar.gz on that same server, but honestly I don't know what works best or how to change the package installer to say "lets install that one instead."

Thanks guys. As soon as my preclear_disk is done I'll check out the Bios. Brand new board and setup so I'm bound to find things out of wack until I get it all setup right.

Your welcome, just remember if you are running this on the drive mentioned in the topic it took me around 36hours to do one 2TB drive. Thats why I mentioned running it in console. Also if you need to access your console you can switch to another terminal by using the <ALT+F2> and of course <ALT+F1> to get back again, which of course would allow you to run it on more than one drive at a time or do other things locally on that machine.

Is your motherboard USB 3.0 certified? Even if you pickup a USB 3.0 memory stick its not going to run at full speed unless your motherboard can support it. As for unRAID being USB 3.0 I wouldn't personally know.

http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=2817.0 Its all pretty much discribed in this thread. I personally would run it directly from console that way you can use your other PC without worrying about shutting it down and you can use the server monitor anytime to monitor its progress.

I noticed the same thing last night running my BioStar 760g. I have 5 ports filled with Sata drives and it just happens that my 5th Sata which I belive to be one of the first generation Sata because of the Molex power connector is showing up as hda opposed to sde I'm glad somebody asked this question because honestly I thought it was because of the older style Sata, but it still a Sata.

Cant say much for the gear, but Heya from Freeboxjukebox. Nice case to start with I might add.

I know Seagate was talking about releasing a 3TB sometime this year. Maybe its that time. Says the unit is 4.88" wide. http://www.seagate.com/www/en-us/products/external/external-hard-drive/desktop-hard-drive/?intcmp=bac-en-us-home-h_hero1-goflexdesk-3tb#tTabContentSpecifications

Maybe two releases? One that supports without the jumper and one that is jumpered. I know from experience how much of a pain in the butt it is to maintain two releases thou.

I hope you don't think I said that. I said it had "0 errors" and it did it in 35 hours. Just from looking through some of the code it looks like it beats the drive up something good, which I'm a big fan of so I know my drive can be trusted more since it has been stressed some.

I just did a preclear on one of these drives with the jumper in place and it showed 0 errors before and after the preclear. I couldn't tell you anything about speed since I have loaded it up in an active environment since some of my parts are not hear as of yet. I can tell you it took around 35 or 36 hours to preclear 2TB and man was it every quite spinning. I do recall seeing it reading at 90Mbs and at one time around 57Mbs in a P4 3.ghz with 1gigram. I'm not sure if its the newer model or not, since well I had no idea there was a newer model. I did pick it up a few days ago before NewEgg decided to have a sale. Of course.

Yeah I'm building the suggested budget box. Everything, but the Motherboard and case has arrived, but that hasn't stoped me from preclearing my cache drive. I'm a bit excited to get going.

yeah I'm a big fan of Find transformers Would it have to be an exact search or could you use wildcards? find transformers*

You can get the bookmarks mod from simplemachines.org I use it on my site because it makes finding your favorite's really easy. I constantly find good tech, but well loose it sometimes because either I forget to create a bookmark in my favorites of my browser or I just think I'll get to that and forget and loose what I wanted to save. Here is a description http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=864 A simple mod that allows users to easily keep track of their favourite topics. Features: * One-click adding of bookmarks * User friendly interface for managing bookmarks * Automatically delete bookmarks when the topic they link to is deleted.

The only reason I mentioned browser is I see unRAID going farther and farther into the use of the browser, which easy translates into a simpler using device and of course translates into a more attractive device to future users. Users like myself that have used Linux/BSD on and off for the last 10 or so years would understand it and use it as long as of course they can remember all the switches since sometimes querying a sql server could get long depending on access permissions and complexity of the search. Of course in the old days I would of just used the "locate" or "find" command and wait and pray something came up. Depending on the build of course you would often get the command not found or get told that the database has not yet been built. I think its really cool what your attempting and think in any form it would be a good addition.

Gotcha. I'm only a week or so old here.

Well when I priced them last they where 199, but then again that was heck I don't know a year or so. LOL
