October 19, 201312 yr 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.
October 20, 201312 yr 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?
October 20, 201312 yr Author I do not have it installed on 5.0 final ... 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. BTW, why does unMenu take much longer to load than the default menu? 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.
October 20, 201312 yr Author 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"
October 20, 201312 yr 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
October 21, 201312 yr BTW, why does unMenu take much longer to load than the default menu? 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 )

It runs mostly in "ram" once it reads a page form /boot.
