When you do it would be interesting to know what the Power_on_hours are for the hard drive (SMART attribute ID 9).

Mine is currently 521; it's been in service about a week, so probably came with about 500 hours on it, roughly. I wish I'd checked at first install.

Will do that with the other 2 I've just got as Specials.

One thing I noted was an immediate SMART warning on mine, with reallocated sectors* at 2155. That has not changed since, so hopefully the warning was just the WebIF seeing a non-zero value with nothing to compare it with.

the 2155 is worth monitoring, this parameter not being zero is not a problem but 2000+ is a cause for concern. If this figure increases within the warranty, I would consider getting a replacement

thanks, but I fear this one is already out of its warranty - it sat in its box for about a year before I got around to it - it was the planned replacement for my Toppy, which only recently died.

I will pay close attention to it anyway, and the new ones...

thanks.

I will need some assistance to determine that.

I will need some assistance to determine that.

Go to the diagnostics page in the WebIF, and you will see there is a "Hard Disk" button, which shows all the SMART data.

Getting problems installing Custom Firmware. Virgin Media had an internet problem which resulted in this error:

Collected errors:
* opkg_conf_load: Could not lock /tmp/opkg.lock: Resource temporarily unavailable.

Error retrieving package list from the Internet. Please check your connection
and try again.

When I try again I get the same error.

Any suggestions?



EDIT: Used IE and was able to install. Not sure if it was the browser change or internet back up properly.

Please tell me what is of interest.

The unit had recorded one program before this data and had been running for some hours.

The hard drive has only been running for 6 Hours (ID=9), but what is odd is that it has had 68 start / stops (ID=4) . ID=5, ID=197 and ID=198 are all zero, these are various problems it has has, so all-in-all, the disk is 'as-new' and is in A1 health

How does one differentiate between the RS instances?

I am unable to access the original account after registering the new account in a different email address and user.

EDIT: Sorted

@Ezra. What's the difference between ID4 (68) and ID12 (34)? I am led to the assumtion that a power cycle is off/on. Is this correct?

 

[Ezra Pound]

I had never really noticed that there is both power cycle count (ID12) and start stop count (ID4) but as you say ID4 is a start and a stop, in every example I have looked at ID4 is twice ID12. I have corrected #48. There seems very little point in having both ID12 and ID4, maybe some drives only write to one of of the two. It's a bit like stating aeroplane take-offs and landings separately, I understand pilots do try to keep the count for both of them the same

Here are the Wikipedia definitions :-

 

[Trev]

Sorry. I keep forgetting that Google is my friend.

 

[Trev]

That's weird. I wonder why ID4 and ID12 are the same in this post. But the explanation above implies that they should be the same.

 

[prpr]

Different disks seem to apply the 'rules' in different ways.

 

[Luke]

But the explanation above implies that they should be the same.

If a green disk parks its heads and spins down when it has not been accessed for a while then I would expect ID4 to increase but not ID12.
