doorunrun Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 I like the new look; thanks for all the hard work. This is more of a myMain issue, so sorry if I posted in the wrong place! I just noticed a HPA warning in myMain for my SSD cache drive. I checked it using hdparm from the terminal and the physical and logical sizes agree; so from what I read, it's a non-standard sized drive myMain doesn't know about. Now to go about fixing this, I understand I need to enter HPA_OK value of 1 in the drive's properties. I tried doing that and then found I didn't have myMain_local.conf set up. So I copied myMain.conf to myMain_local.conf and restarted unMenu. Now I see a lot of "dup token" INFO statements in SysLog (here's a few......) Apr 24 10:40:00 Tower unmenu[8127]: INFO: Dup token udma_crc_error_count (Errors) Apr 24 10:40:00 Tower unmenu[8127]: INFO: Dup token smart_fail_lst Apr 24 10:40:00 Tower unmenu[8127]: INFO: Dup token _info Apr 24 10:40:00 Tower unmenu[8127]: INFO: Dup token _temp.......... I didn't go too far into editing myMain_local.conf, but even after adding "hpa_ok 1" to the SSD's disk status the HPA warning is still there. Also when I check for unMenu updates I see there's a myMain_local.conf update available from 12/04/2010 Revision 182. When I try to update I get an error that /tmp/unmenu_tmp/myMain_local.conf not installed. Where did I go wrong? Thanks for the help! syslog-2013-04-24.txt Quote Link to comment
switchman Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 I have the same HPA error, but have been ignoring it as I know it is bogus. I also have the same error when checking for updates. I look forward to seeing the responses to your question. Quote Link to comment

I didn't go too far into editing myMain_local.conf, but even after adding "hpa_ok 1" to the SSD's disk status the HPA warning is still there. This error is occurring because you copied myMain.conf to myMain_local.conf. Please delete your myMain_local.conf and update unMenu using the user scripts page. Once that is done, use the drive pages to add the HPA_OK value. Also when I check for unMenu updates I see there's a myMain_local.conf update available from 12/04/2010 Revision 182. When I try to update I get an error that /tmp/unmenu_tmp/myMain_local.conf not installed. This is a feature to prevent the unMenu update process from overwriting your changes to myMain_local.conf. It will only update myMain_local.conf is it is missing or it matches the default versions. Quote Link to comment
Joe L. Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 as described, delete your added myMain_local.conf, check for updates, and you'll probably both see the HPA warning go away since I added your disk's respective sizes to the valid size list. Joe L. Quote Link to comment
doorunrun Posted April 24, 2013 Author Share Posted April 24, 2013 Thanks for the quick replies! I deleted the myMain_local.conf file, checked updates, installed them and restarted unMenu (a few times). The "dup token" errors are gone, but I still see the HPA warning on the main myMain page. I even tried adding the "hpa_ok 1" to the drive property page, but no success. I wish I had captured the screen echo messages during the check/install updates procedure. The SysLog only shows the restarting of unMenu. Thanks Joe L. for adding the drive sizes. Well, I know the warning is bogus.....but....you understand, right? Is there a file and a date stamp I should be looking for? -Cheers!! Quote Link to comment
switchman Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 That fixed it. Thanks Joe. Quote Link to comment
doorunrun Posted April 26, 2013 Author Share Posted April 26, 2013 I discovered I was incorrectly entered HPA_OK in "Other Notes." I was using the field next to "Other Notes" and not below. Using this thread as a guideline: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=21556.0, containing the image below, the warning is gone. Since Joe L. added the drive I shouldn't need this; so I'll backtrack a bit to see if I can bypass having to add the value. Thanks again!! Quote Link to comment

Joe L. Hi Joe L., I have 96GB SSD mounted as an app drive and had the HPA warning on it. I added 100GB=93778744 to myMain.conf, so it's not an issue for me, but might be useful for others. Certainly I leave it up to you if you add or not to the mainline. ...and... thank you for unMENU 1.6 and it's improvements. Quote Link to comment
