Message to Self: CH3SNAS & Format HDD

Do not, I repeat Do not try to reformat the HDD’s if Fun_Plug is running. It will fail. Root cause is probably the fact that fdisk is showing an segmentation fault (ie. fdisk /dev/sdb)

3x formatting failed when fun_plug was enabled, after disabling the format directly started .. and succeeded.

First Episode:

June 14: “Nothing But the Blood”
A shocking murder outside Merlotte’s has Bon Temps reeling. Meanwhile, Sookie’s (Anna Paquin) relationship with Bill (Stephen Moyer) is tested when she learns about Jessica (Deborah Ann Woll), and of his involvement in her uncle’s death. Sam (Sam Trammell) recalls a shape-shifting encounter he had with Maryann (Michelle Forbes) as a 17-year-old.  Jason (Ryan Kwanten) gets a sudden windfall that allows him to pay for a leadership retreat with the Fellowship of the Sun.

CH3SNAS: Firmware 1.05b04-r160

FINALLY !

… just the step before official release !
Conceptronic is about to release a new official firmware for CH3SNAS. After some time of technical difficulties with the progress of the firmware with non working ftp, failing UPnP server(s) (in certain conditions) this firmware should finally fix that so that the 1.04 series can be left behind.

This firmware will be tested by the R&D of Conceptronic during this week  but for beta testers, early adaptors, people who trust me or like to use the latest features and functionalities: download here the latest CH3SNAS firmware version 1.05b04-r160

Release note:

  • Due to some changes internally the UPnP server could not restart in certain situation. This UPnP Server is supporting XBOX360 as well as PlayStation 3
  • We also fixed an bug that people could not format the disk when the new inserted disk has already an partition inside. This function is not yet reviewed and tested by the R&D of Conceptronic.

nzbget

I’m busy with a new installation of nzbget. My test environment is now running NZBGet version 0.7.0-testing-r308.

I decided to put all standard functions in 1 folder to make it possible to create an archive and have it extracted and with some minor adjustments have it working fine on the CH3SNAS or any other device with /mnt/HD_a2 as root

I also configured nzbget that newzbin can be used. This needed the php.ini to load the zlib.so extension after some debugging and testing it was functional.
