Thanks for the post! There might be that stuff added later, but for now I'm going to keep things nice and simple. Stats are polled every 60 seconds, though I might make that editable.

The animation code for that would be interesting to say the least

Hackintosh won't be a problem, I run one too. I will only support 10.8+ at the time being, mainly due to some of the API's I'm using. If there are enough sales to make it worth while, I'll re-write the API's to support 10.7. To give you guys an idea of the progress... last night I finished the main GUI, navigation, and error checks with notification centre support. Over the next couple of days I should have the GUI and data model for storing the server login information finished, including storing the password to your secure login keychain. Another question! When the app detects any drive / temp errors (with temp limits you can specify), the primary pie graph will turn red. The menu bar icon will turn red. The drive in question will have it's background row turned red. You will receive a notification for it ONCE, unless any of the variables change (i.e. if the temperature goes up further or there are more drive errors). Does that sound like overkill, or is that what you're looking for?

Name suggestions anyone? 'Freshly Squeezed unRAID' 'Pucker Up' 'Zestful' 'unImaginably Awesome' You get the idea.

Yes - will be an option for black menu item. Also, yes there will be an option for rebooting / powering off the server.

Writing an iOS companion would be the overall plan. The Mac App will support 10.7+ 10.8+. Here's a few screenshots...

Thanks I know what you're saying regarding mapping network drives. Ultimately I'd like this app to auto mount shares, however Apple is far too strict regarding any access to the filesystem in a Sandboxed app. There is no way this could make it to the final feature set without Apple changing something.

Cool - glad to see some interest! In terms of notification... if something goes wrong with temp, array or drive errors, the menu icon will go red. You can configure notification centre notifications for each of those three error categories. I'm planning to make this app sandboxed, and available for a small fee in the Mac App store. Naturally any beta testers will get a free copy. I have a couple of comments regarding some of your ideas. I can provide a combined error stat on the main view when you open the app for the first time. Of course, the disks tab will have further detail. This information will be present in the disks tab. Again, would provide a way configure a minimum warning temperature range and display an 'All OK' or similar on the main page. Will see. I wouldn't want any feature creep as it's supposed to be an easy and simple way to see your array stats wherever you are in the OS.

Welcome to Margarita! A refreshing new way of checking on your all important server. Features: - Works out of the box - Easy to read statistics on Array, Disks and Shares - Mount shares (AFP / SMB) - Integrates with unRAID Notifications - Auto mount shares based off the refresh frequency - Simply enable the automount checkbox, then mount a share. - Eject a share to disable the automount. - Turn services on / off - Receive notifications on disk errors and temperature warnings - Monitor unRAID status in the background - Sleek iOS 7 inspired design - Wake On LAN support Available on the App Store! http://www.pixeleyes.co.nz/margarita/

Cool! I like stuff like this, good for integrated LCD screens on cases Ditch the large header to fit more information in though, maybe offer an option to include an ASCI unRAID logo or something. Memory, CPU, total network / disk throughput, and top 5 CPU hogging processes would be ideal. Then more specific unRAID info to top it off. Keep it on a refresh loop of x seconds.

Can you tell us what you are working on? I'm hoping you are focussed on porting addins like the SF stats etc? Or just minor fixes, like the spindown icon which is missing? I'm slowly working through my plugins to make them independent, not relying on SimpleFeatures base plugin. This is a slow process as I'm struggling to find time at the moment. Know the feeling about time! I have a ton of assignments due in for my Uni course in 2 weeks and sleep is a rare thing! Anything the community can help with? Once I've finished with them, I'll fork the current GUI on GitHub and integrate the changes - then the community can do with it what they wish :-) I'm about to do a new 'push' to that repo. Pop me a quick email with your status maybe

It will happen - however you'll just have to wait until my other project has been completed. Cheers

Agree - I guess Tom is still working out his github workflow. The problem he'll be facing is that you don't want to commit untested changes to the official repo (from a support point of view).

There is a lot of working going on in the background by Tom, so don't worry about that. I did give Tom some assistance with integrating the webGUI (not much, as he is a smart cookie), though I am not responsible for updating or maintaining the GUI from here on in. The git repository was made so other members of the public can make their own changes if they wish - it's not just relying on us anymore. Cheers

I gained a lot of responsiveness via standard copies, and 50MB/s on parity checks by running this tool. I now get 110MB/s on parity checks. Happy

It's a good concept, though your new site looks outdated in my eyes Still, a nice improvement over the old one!

Love the plugin - saved me a lot of time. Thank you!

Like I said though, I'm not configuring cache_dirs from your GUI. I'm configuring it from my go script. Your plugin is just installing cache_dirs but it isn't enabled in the GUI. Preemptive PR

I'll talk to Bonienl to see if he modified the cache_dirs script in any way. Looking at the checksum I presume not... Sorry Joe L. if this ends up being a GUI issue...

This seems like a good way of doing things. Nice to see!

Do you know which controller is compatible with 3TB drives?
