OK, apart from some strange or incomprehensible lines in the Syslog, the NAS is running beautifully with the two 3-Ware 8006-2LP SATA RAID controllers. No IRQ conflicts. Though I did not measure transfer speeds, the system is fast.
Because of a freak incident (the Intel 775 socket heatsink somehow got loose, and rebooting terminated because of overheating) I became curious how my four drives are doing, in terms of wear and temperature.
NASLite 2 is using
smartmontools for SMART, and according to
http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/docs/raid-controller_support.html 3-Ware controllers are supported. Still, the SMART option in the storage menu is unavailable. Will this issue be solved with 2.6?
And since I am asking questions about monitoring my NAS, I would like to know how NASLite deals with the ACPI? The System Status page shows the availability of the
Powerbutton, but fan state, cooling mode, thermal state and CPU temp are
unavailable.
