According to one three of my boxes, tmenu has been updated. What?

 

[/df]

What you see when you connect by telnet. IIRC there's one in the flash and one out where it can be updated, which overrides the firmware version if accessible.

 

[Black Hole]

Yes. The question is about the update. 1.24 > 1.25

 

[Wallace]

Both my active HDR-Fox T2 boxes auto updated tmenu sometime last week IIRC. From 1.24 > 1.25

That is great! And to help answer Black Hole's query what changes have you observed as a probably consequence of those updates to your boxes?

 

[Wallace]

None!

I tried uninstalling the tmenu package so I could compare what it did before, but it won't go!

C'mon @prpr, let us in on it!

Oh! These are new:

  reprog - Update the Custom Firmware                                                     
   short - Run short hard-disk self test.                                                 
    long - Run long hard-disk self test.                                                 
   check - Check self-test progress.

"reprog" must be a link to cfupdater.

Shirley "short", "long", and "check" should be Maintenance Mode?

Shirley "short", "long", and "check" should be Maintenance Mode?

I don't think that is necessary. This is running the hard drives self test rather than fix-disk.

C'mon @prpr, let us in on it!

It depends what firmware version you have installed (3.13 or one of the 3.14 betas), but basically:

• Add SMART tests/check in normal mode
• Detect external disks to allow SMART (on the HD)
• Allow RMA option on the HD
• Remove confusing textual references to telnet

and other minor tidy-ups as discussed in the forum over time.

The most useful for anyone with a sizeable disk is being able to run a long SMART test while the machine is in normal use (because it takes ***ing ages) and then being able to boot to maintenance mode to run fixdisk with the appropriate parameters to allow it to skip the short test and use the results from the just completed long test (typically "-s -r -y" for least human input).
You do of course have to have installed the updated fixdisk package or be running a recent beta firmware (I forget which) for this to work.
Fixdisk itself takes ***ing ages, but at least it's about half the out-of-service time it might otherwise have been.

I'm not sure why tmenu is a dependency of webif other than to force installation of the latest version.
