To be fair, I am never taking the CFW off. I have had the box years, so well out of warranty & I cant see a use case for it with out the CFW. I have even considered getting a second box purely because of the CFW. Its like having an electric car, once you have experienced it - you can't go back...
Oh right - ok. FWIW fixdisk completed for me with no errors, after using the GPTF. If I have problems, I will have another go. Still toying with the idea of putting a 3TB drive in for a laugh. I have 1 or 2 kicking around but not of the correct type.
Yeah I agree, I do like to listen to SN, but must admit SR has never fixed a disk for me. He says its good on SSD too!
I have had more success with HDRegen, If my qnap's are on yellow warning then it may 'fix' the disk, but if its on 'red abnormal' then the drive is toast I have found out...
I used the GPTF because the error fixdisk reported was due to that and said it needed a manual intervention [whatever that means].
What happened was it did its stuff, fixdisk said all good, and the box works. So all is good.
So far I formatted the hardrive from the box and reinstalled. All seems to be working and fixdisk reports no errors.
Not fitted a new HDD yet. If that's what your asking. I need to read up on that before hand.
I ran the tool and it output this, is this a format job or can it be recovered ?
Checking partition tables...
Warning! Main partition table CRC mismatch! Loaded backup partition table...
Yeah - I will look in to that. I do have a copy of spinrite and HDRegenerator so I might stick it on that too. I am thinking of installing a bigger one anyway, the cost per MB is very affordable at the moment. It might even be quicker than messing with the old.
Sorry for the delay in replying properly - I have been sick for the last few days and not really been up to it.
I could not report errors as I tried it one day and it failed, tried it the next day and it worked, turns out the package was updated that night. At first I thought it was something...
am i mistaken that unless your home it would be useless to get an email telling you your box has crashed. If I have this wrong let me know.
If your at home, I can see it as a heads up. Provided it does not keep mailing you about it !!
Perhaps a word from the devs on this
Im not cleaver enough for setting up that lol. I consider what i have done so far as outstanding for me. No really !! I'm not messing with you. This project is awesome. If a little bit complicated sometimes.
Lol dude that is just a wrong way to look at it.
What I do now is to simply delete them if and when I find them. With hindsight I should not have entered my email. It's not a feature I found useful anyway.
Turned out later that evening lip sync was out too. The next day all is good, so I don't know if the box was doing stuff at the same time and it was running slow.
