NASLite Network Attached Storage

Well put Rob.

but with seatbelts and insurance we still have choice - they [in the UK] are legal requirements but not all have them or use them

tony's post above is well put and i can more understand the reasons than before - but it can and is a pain in the lower back if the file check kicks in at the wrong time - i have said before i [like some others here] use my main system on demand - so when i power it on i want to watch a movie or listen to music with a 1 terabyte drive if file check kicks in i have a 90minute wait - so am not happy - am happy that its there to protect my data but that is forgotten in that 90 minutes - the 180 days or 180 power ons is better but it will still happen

i fully understand all the - GOOD - reasons put forward for it being there - BUT it should - if possible - be more informative at least or more user friendly

a pop up that warns it will run next boot up would at least do something - a power cycle could be initiated so that when the server WAS needed the file check would have already been done

or a count down stored somewhere - no idea if thats possible - so that a user has some idea where they are in the cycle - today its just a lottery and from a users point of view - an annoying one sometimes

There is - if you look in the status pages for each disk then it tells you how many mounts have occured since the last check and also the limiting mount count (when the next check will occur).

thanks Nick - did not know that
