Basically you can turn off such warnings, but I would say it's dangerous to ignore such stuff. I don't care much about S.M.A.R.T. but IF you already get warnings, better swap the drive.

BuZz · 12 April 2012, 17:10

yeh, but you can monitor the smart info from the OS (and even run selftests then) - which is more useful than having a remote machine wait for a keypress

My question was more regarding his specific machine, as I'm not sure if all bios's allow this or not,. my fileserver here does (and it is switched off - and monitored from linux, along with disk temps - if a drive reaches a certain temperature, the machine shuts down, as it likely means one of the sata backplane fan failures).

Agree about replacing the disk though if it thinks it's near End of Life.

Thanks for the effort in bringing it back to life RCK

I've really missed it... funny how we (well, I, at least) take site like this for granted!

And well done to Akira for keeping people up to date using the Facebook page, that was helpful too.

Finally, can anyone access the mobile version of the site? On my phone it keeps redirecting me to irc.abime.net and then telling me it can't find the page.

*cough* There was more than one person/Admin keeping you guys up to date on the Facebook page

Graham Humphrey · 12 April 2012, 19:18

Sorry - didn't realise you were still doing it too

Thanks to both of you then

DH · 12 April 2012, 19:22

Yeah, because my personal circumstances have changed I decided to stay, but I'm glad for Akira and the other Admin (who's EAB name I don't know) for keeping the page alive... It has become quite popular since their arrival

Kitty · 12 April 2012, 21:14

good stuff RCK thankyou

Adropac2 · 12 April 2012, 21:20

And LO, on the third day, he was risen.

Happy Easter and welcome back EAB.

Would it be out of place for me to suggest something like a kickstarter campaign to build a backup server for EAB or of funding data back up to a different location. I'm sure the powers that be have this stuff under control but it would be terrible if some accident caused the loss of the EAB and associated stuff. Seemingly aminet was nearly lost forever by a hard disc failure once upon a time.

A few days away just makes the heart grow fonder

good to be back

All the best

ps, I keep telling the wife that "A few days away just makes the heart grow fonder" leave me in retro bliss

Yep, http://eabmobile.abime.net/ is working perfectly here.

Graham Humphrey · 12 April 2012, 22:04

Yes, it works on this computer.

Actually I just found out that if I reload the page on my phone it then works

Galahad/FLT · 12 April 2012, 23:44

Thanks RCK for persevering, I missed eab more than I thought

Avanze · 13 April 2012, 04:11

Just another voice to add to the collective support and appreciation of EAB. Thanks, RCK.

DeafDaz · 13 April 2012, 06:02

Ha-HA-HAAAA!! she LIVES!!!!!!!

Tolls · 13 April 2012, 10:54

Thanks for offer but don't worry, I have plenty of them at work

(I'm using SCSI 3.5" hard drive for Dell server - Disk generation lower than SAS used since PowerEdge 1950 gen.)

Yes, It will happen if I reboot the server before changing the drive, but:
1- I know the problem and let a keyboard connected on the server so I can ask at netcenter guys to simply "press space bar" to let the server boot
2- Last uptime since this reboot was 253 days
So don't worry

A dedicated place to host server - see http://www.globalswitch.com/ for mine.
