  1. I'll look into why this linefeed issue with outlook is happening when I get more time next week. Sounds like it could be a formatting error on my part that only seems to show up in outlook.
  2. Look at the first post in this thread. If you mean send a plain text file, yes. If you mean send an attachment -- no.
  3. I think most/all unraid users understand what "unformatted" and "format" means... however, when you see "unformatted" there will be an unavoidable emotional response of "crap... I think I just lost everything". The problem is that some may simply take the frustrated leap of clicking "format" before going through step by step to figure out what the root cause of the "unformatted" message was. With a message like "unformatted", I think the response of clicking "format" can seem perfectly reasonable -- especially when your mind is already clouded and preoccupied taking inventory of all the data you think you just lost. This whole "unformatted" thing isn't isolated to 4.5.3 though, is it? I seem to remember it happening in the past.
  4. I believe that 133MB/s bandwidth must also be shared between all PCI devices on most motherboards vs. PCI-e getting dedicated bandwidth per slot/device.
  5. I suppose a script that checks if all drives have less than X available for free space would be simple enough, but where it gets complicated is user shares that don't use all drives, or for that matter, those that don't use user shares at all. It may be OK to have some drives filled up, but not others. Add to that unraid 5, and the probability that this will all need to be re-written for it, if the functionality isn't included out-of-the-box... Thoughts?
  6. I added support for apcupsd back around here: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=2470.msg45069#msg45069 The APC program uses the "mail" command to send alerts to "root". unraid doesn't have a "mail" command built in, but unraid_notify does. By default, the "mail" command in unraid_notify now changes mail destined for "root" to the notification mailbox defined in your unraid_notify.cfg.
  7. Looks like it's working then. Note that the log you posted does contain your gmail username and password (Y....t) in a relatively easily retrievable form. You should probably edit that post to mask your email address and the line following "334 VXNlcm5hbWU6", beginning with "Y".
  8. If you're sure the packages are installing on reboot, then no. That it just sits there makes me think something is wrong with the installation of the socat package. "unraid_notify -d -f -e" should show the smtp session.
  9. Interesting. In Firefox, I get .tgz, in IE, I get .gz. Not sure what's happening there, but both files appear to be the same (same file size), sans the name. Either way, you should be able to pull it directly to your unraid server with: wget -P /boot/package http://repository.slacky.eu/slackware-12.1/utilities/socat/1.7.0.0/socat-1.7.0.0-i486-2bj.tgz If you can, remove the entries from your go file, restart your unraid server and try installing socat/unarid again from telnet.
  10. You should probably change your smtp server to "smtp.gmail.com", but I just tested pop.gmail.com, and it appeared to work. Just downloaded the linked socat package again, and it keeps tgz intact for me. What are you using to download it? I would grab it again, in case something is not right with the package.
  11. What socat package are you using? Post your unaid_notify.cfg file (without are email address & password of course), just in case there is an issue there.
  12. That package works for me, but I suppose you could try the socat packages from slackware 12.2: http://repository.slacky.eu/slackware-12.2/utilities/socat/1.7.1.1/socat-1.7.1.1-i486-1bj.tgz
  13. Try executing the commands: installpkg /boot/packages/socat-1.7.0.0-i486-2bj.tgz installpkg /boot/packages/unraid_notify-2.54-noarch-unRAID.tgz unraid_notify start In a telnet session on the unraid server.
  14. I would probably go with something more like the GA-EP43T-UD3L. Four PCIE 1x, plus a 16x for the graphics. If you don't have an extra/old PCIe/PCI graphics card sitting around, you can select something cheap to get you by, grab something from Micro-center's bargain bin, or select something that you may later use in a HTPC. Four dimm slots can make adding memory later less costly, and its RTL8111C is on the HCL. That said -- I haven't used this board before.
  15. Not sure about a reason for a general aversion to Atheros, but I did find this unconfirmed report of issues with TSO when searching for possible problems with the AR8121 L1e and linux.
  16. There is nothing included with the 4-in-3 that controls the fan speed. A separate fan speed controller would probably be best. I don't have the fan in front of me, but I remember there were 4 LEDs that appeared to each have their own wires leading to the circuit board in the middle of the fan. I would think that clipping at least one wire at each of the LEDs should shut them off. I don't know what reggie14's reason is, but I went with a 9 bay case and started with one 4-in-3 (the one included with the case) to have room to grow -- and I'm glad I did. I'm already up to 9 drives, and only have room for 3 more.
  17. You'll want to have at least some airflow over the drives. I use the same 4-in-3's prostuff1 linked to, running them off of 7v instead of 12v, and things stay nice an cool. I haven't had issues managing cables when I add drives. The one thing I don't like about the linked 4-in-3's is the blue LEDs on the included 120mm fans -- but I could probably solve that with a wire clipper.
  18. Yes. You can test to make sure its working by forcing an error notification using: unraid_notify -d -e -f
  19. Thanks Kevin. Attached is v2.55, with the above changes from Kevin/stchas I'll wait for feedback on v2.55 before I replace 2.54 in the top post. Edit: Attachment removed. See top post for most recent version.
  20. Yep, I understood that. see: "more modular" -- as is; making health-monitoring and notification separate "modules". For now, this may be the best way. I'm hoping that unraid 5 has monitoring built in, and all we need to do is link to our own notification scripts. If not, I'll re-visit this. Glad to be of service. Damn, now I'm going to have to actually write a script to do this... thinking of wget and sed...
  21. Thank you Purko. I've been thinking along similar lines of making unraid_notify more modular for awhile, and even posted about it not long ago, but, like so many others here, I guess I'm stuck in loop waiting to see what unraid 5 will bring. do { wait; } while (unraid<5); unraid_notify does have the option of executing an external command on an over temperature error condition (see: unraid_notify.cfg), but is currently limited to only disk temperature. I suppose something like this could be expanded.
  22. The secure mail implementation in unraid_notify is only really useful for mail providers, like google, that wont let you relay mail without a secure connection.
  23. Just realized that those using the "mail" command, and use secure SMTP, will also have this issue. I'll put out v2.55 with this corrected in "mail" as soon as I can.
