  1. Can I ssume you have a nifty little script to do this ?
  2. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU !!! Now, if every thread had an OP with updated downloads, we'd be a whole lot better off! BTW, did I say thank you ?
  3. Here are 2 package.conf files: an updated php-unmenu-package.conf with the dependancy noted for libxml2.so.2.6.32 and libxml2-unmenu-package.conf
  4. I see we were posting at the same time... I think you are running on a hard disk... in a basic flash system, the /etc/httpd folder is in ram, so the .ini file cannot be mod'd persistantly... also, as noted, on a flash system, the smarthistory files all get dumped in the flash's /custom/etc/rc.d folder...
  5. Where is the php.ini file located? EDIT: and should it put all the smarthistory working files in /boot/custom/etc/rc.d ????
  6. Brilliant !!! To invoke it use: nohup cached.sh > /dev/null 2>%1 < /dev/null &
  7. Hey NAS... I set up this line in my custom script in /custom/etc/rc.d: echo "*/1 * * * * /boot/bin/ls-r.sh >/dev/null 2>&1" >> /var/spool/cron/crontab.5000 my ls-r.sh contains: ls -R /mnt/user >/dev/null 2>&1 sleep 30 ls -R /mnt/user >/dev/null 2>&1 Did I do it right? How do I tell if cron is really executing this... I have a feling it isn't, my drives are still spinning up. EDIT: ooopppss... I'm not currently using user shares What would I use for just 10 disk shares?
  8. We are really in desparate need of a unified approach to posting and distributing all of the plugins, addons and scripts that all our resident geniuses come up with. I think that the model of the first post is always updated with the latest version with NO links within the thread, or a wiki-repository again with NO links in the threads are the best way. Currently, we have some with updated posts in the middle of the thread, and most with various updates sprinkled throughout the thread and often in multiple threads. I hosed my system yesterday because I ended up with a mix of things from two older versions of GoScript manager... what a mess !! Moreover, I may not be alone in that I seem to be unable to grasp what GoScript manager is supposed to do!
  9. If your drive is bricked, and you want to recover the data, here is a working procedure: The Solution for 7200.11 Seagate HDDs: Attention: This guide isn't intent for unexperienced users! Is very easy to KILL your HD if you don't follow the instructions with extreme caution. You have been warned! I'm NOT responsible for any damage or data loss it can causes. You'll need: - 1 (one) RS232 to TTL (I recommend those with +5V so you can use power from power supply PC). - 1 (one) RS232 cable - 1 (one) PC with Terminal software (like HyperTerminal) and RS232 port - 4 (four) wires (for TX, RX, GND and +5V) - Some jumpers, or similar (to link TX and RX on Seagate) - Soldering Iron (optional) - A fixed firmware from Seagate (to be released around 01/20) - A torx tool TX and RX connections from a SATA Seagate 3.5": Connect TX and RX ports with RS232 to TLL adapter, you'll need something like jumpers in order to do that, or soldering directly to the PCB board. Connect GND and +5V to PC power supply, or similar. Keep in mind RED wire from supply is +5V, and green or black are GNDs (yellow is +12V so don't use it). Run HyperTerminal (or your favourite terminal software). Config the RS232 port to: 38400 8 N 1 Fixing 0 LBA error: To correct 0 LBA error, you'll need to do a quick format in order to regenerate the partition, just with m0,2,2 and the rest can be left blank by putting only commas or filling out with zeros. At the end you need to use a "ValidKey" code, or 22. So we'll have to enter: F3 T>m0,2,2,0,0,0,0,22 (enter) Now wait 15~30 seconds until something like this appears (it will vary a bit): Max Wr Retries = 00, Max Rd Retries = 00, Max ECC T-Level = 00, Max Certify Rewrite Retries = 0000 User Partition Format 5% complete, Zone 00, Pass 00, LBA 00008DED, ErrCode 00000080, Elapsed Time 0 mins 05 secs User Partition Format Successful - Elapsed Time 0 mins 05 secs ONLY after the message like above, enter: F3 T>/2 (enter) F3 2>Z (enter) Spin Down Complete Elapsed Time 0.147 msecs NOW you can turn off everything. Conglatulations, you done it! (Goodbye money! Oh my! I could be rich!) Fixing BSY or CC errors aka BUSY (this will be kinda tough! I recommend a lot practice before to trying): First you need to remove the PCB from HDA case, after that, connect RX & TX cables, verify that all is correct, and then power supply to PCB. Explanation: To drives that hangs all the time in "busy" and on terminal (for example: LED: 000000CC FAddr: 0024A051 error codes), in which it blocks the terminal and it doesn't respond to any command, first we'll have to block off the time reading from plates on HD, in other words, power off your HD and DISCONNECT the PCB from HDA, with PCB alone, power up and press CTRL+Z (to enter on CMD mode), now we'll need to access the Level 2: F3 T>/2 (enter) F3 2> And enter (to stop the spindle motor): F3 2>Z (enter) Spin Down Complete Elapsed Time 0.147 msecs (the time will vary here) F3 2> Now the hard part. Pratice a lot without any power (of course), before even trying anything here. Then mount the PCB back to HDA case, and DO NOT power off or disconnect the PCB from RX/TX (RS232) and power supply ! Now enter (to start the motor): F3 2>U (enter) You should get something like this: Spin Up Complete Elapsed Time 7.093 secs F3 2> Then go to Level 1 (by typing /1): F3 T>/1 (enter) Now lets do a S.M.A.R.T. erase (create S.M.A.R.T. sector): F3 1>N1 (enter) Now turn off (or power off) the drive. At this point I don't know yet if the drive power off alone after N1 command or not (I'm still need to order my RS232 to TTL adaptor). So, I'll just mention that as "Power OFF/ON" process. G-List Erase (cert the reserved cyl): F3 T>i4,1,22 (enter) Power OFF/ON Partition regeneration: F3 T>m0,2,2,,,,,22 (enter) You should get something like (in around 15~30 seconds): Max Wr Retries = 00, Max Rd Retries = 00, Max ECC T-Level = 14, Max Certify Rewrite Retries = 00C8 User Partition Format 10% complete, Zone 00, Pass 00, LBA 00004339, ErrCode 00000080, Elapsed Time 0 mins 05 secs User Partition Format Successful - Elapsed Time 0 mins 05 secs If you didn't get the msg above, then you skipped something important, and turning off your drive now will render an unreadable drive, so be careful. ONLY after the message like above, enter: F3 T>/2 (enter) F3 2>Z (enter) Spin Down Complete Elapsed Time 0.147 msecs NOW you can turn off everything. Conglatulations, you done it! (Goodbye money!

  10. Erased mine before I hit the Post button...
  11. Even the Q6600 has "virtualization technology"....

    ABIT AB9 Pro

    Incredible !!! My server's board and the spare in the closet cost me a whopping $49 each (Factory Refurbs)...

    SATA Cables

    Though not meant for locking cables, I did manage to get 4 locking cables in... they are NOT coming out any time soon
  14. Hmmmm..... looks like NOBODY has EVER lost a seagate drive???
  15. Terrible website... good software... Thanks !!!
  16. Links to solutions are ALWAYS appreciated...
  17. Is the drive a Seagate 7200.11 series? If so, see my poll/thread in the Lounge...
  18. I've been following this thread: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=128092 for a while now, and wondering if and when this bug will bite me as I have 12 of the 1tb's in my unRAID box and 8 of the 500mb guys in my desktops.... Since there are probably a LOT of Seagate drive owners who are unRAID users, or vice versa, I wanted your input.
  19. Don't forget that writing multiple images to the same folder simultaneously is a recipe for massive file fragmentation...

    New Build

    They're actually very quiet... but for how long ??
