Disk status icon enhancement


Recommended Posts

In the parity array on the dashboard and main pages, currently the green ball only reflects parity status.

 

I would like to add file system health to the list of things that will change the green ball.

 

I propose changing the layout on the main page so that when a disk slot is having an issue, it expands in the slot list with lines indented below it listing the current error conditions that apply to that slot.

 

Emulated

Emulated rebuilding in progress

Disabled

No filesystem detected

Corrupt filesystem unmountable

Corrupt filesystem mountable

Corrupt filesystem mounted read only

 

Each error condition should have a brief explanation of appropriate action in the same line, help text should elaborate.

 

The dashboard should stay compact, with the green ball replaced with an error indicator linking to the appropriate slot on the main page.

 

Comments?

Additions?

 

This is just my quick take on the subject, but it's bugged me for a long time that the green ball could be hiding a multitude of issues. When I see green ball, it should mean all clear.
