Parity Check Status/Progress ... was "Disable Stop" when parity is running

[garycase]

Edit: IIRC simple features can do real-time refresh on parity check...

 

As will UnMenu => if you leave an UnMenu window open on the Main screen, it will auto-refresh periodically (once/minute IIRC) ... so you can always tell the state of your parity check at a glance.

Yes, I know that, but SF had no delay. It was real-time. I do not have it installed on 5.0 final, so I don't know how works on that one.

 

BTW, why does unMenu take much longer to load than the default menu?

I don't believe SF is compatible with v5.0 => there are quite a few things in it that haven't been updated.  Since I don't use it, I wasn't aware that it had real-time parity check status info.

Wasn't aware that it did => I've found that both the stock GUI and UnMenu can vary a good bit in how quickly they refresh.  But if you set a static IP on your server, then both are almost instant.

Default takes about a second, unmenu about five. I have static ip.

Very interesting -- mine doesn't have that difference.  May be something about our differing network topologies;  different amounts of memory; different number of plugins; etc. -- just not sure.  [both of my sytems are "plain vanilla" UnRAID with ONLY the UnMenu addon with UPS control]

 

... of course, 5 seconds isn't exactly "bad"

It's just enough to think the system has problems.

Maybe unmenu is reading from your USB when it's slow? I know a flaky USB drive can cause odd delays in functionality, as most basic services are in RAM, and many add-ons can be set to use /boot

unMENU is an "awk" script pretending to be a web-server (and using all unix commands to report on your server)  Basically a collection of unix commands and scripts.

 

The stock gui is a "real" web-server.

 

The very fact that unMENU works at all is a small miracle of programming. 

 

Instead of watching the web-Gui, I suggest watching a movie.  (better plot, at least on most movies )

unMENU does not constantly "read" from the flash drive.  It runs mostly in "ram" once it reads a page form /boot.

LOL! I agree.
