I’m always in need of mobility but likewise calculating power and remote control is the solution. Excellent info appreciates

Not sure how they fixed the air flow but I know they also replaced the fuel selector for good measure if I remember correctly. Good luck to your friend! Hope that helps.

He is having the exact same no fuel from one tank problem. What was your problem, and what was the solution? Prompt reply appreciated, and I will forward the info.

So far (*knocks on wood*) I have only had that one drive issue. I looked at the SMART data for the drives and they don’t appear to park nearly as often as the guy in that post saw them park. Mine are parking about once ever 14 minutes as opposed to 2. Of course, these are a little newer than his and came straight from WD so they could have already implemented a similar fix.

When that one drive went out after a month I was so angry that I almost tossed the whole batch to go buy Spinpoints but I will definitely try this if I have problems in the future before taking any drastic measures… Thanks again!

I just noticed you were having issues with the WD green drives. The problem may be the head parking issue mentioned in this discussion: http://forums.storagereview.com/index.php/topic/27269-wd-greenpower-drives-head-parking-issue/

If this seems likely, the firmware is available here: http://support.wdc.com/product/download.asp?groupid=609&sid=113

I ran this before I built my storage array and I haven’t had one peep out of it yet.

I didn’t write SB. I don’t write or know how to write any software or make PPAs for that matter; I just use the software and try to help other people do the same. Also, the software is still in the alpha stage so there probably wouldn’t be an official PPA until it hit a release version.

preferably with options stored in home dir (default) but data not stored on the boot drive

I actually had Couch Potato installed before I rebuilt my home server. Between that and Sickbeard, it’s pretty much the perfect setup. I only wish there was a Sickbeard-like program for music though I’m sure someone will develop one soon enough. The only reason I haven’t installed Couch Potato again (yet) is that I found myself checking the latest movie posts on a daily basis anyways to find other movies I might not have thought of.

Thanks for reading my blog and keep up the great work yourself!

Interesting write up, and glad you found my guide helpful! If you’re looking for a similar program for movies I suggest taking a look at Couch Potato. I hope to have a guide out for it soon, but it’s much the same as Sick Beard.

Cheers!
