n5200: INFO Module Error

[RazzleUltra]

I've just upgraded my firmware to 1.00.07 without any problems (yay!), but I've run into an issue with Omega's INFO tool.

I installed this mod first of all, enabled it and then tried to bring up the property page. Unfortunately, all this does is bring up a totally blank page with the words "no name given".

I then installed the SSHD and SYS modules and checked that the script was present and indeed it is, but I can't execute it from the command line ; mainly because I don't know what I'm doing. I tried getting into the /raid/data/module/INFO/system/ directory and typing "./infotool" but it didn't like this...

Is this mod not fully compatible with 1.00.07 or have I got something wrong somewhere along the line?

Many thanks again, this is a quality forum!

Check my posting here: thecususergroup.proboards106.com/index.cgi?board=n5200modifications&action=display&thread=1169579055&page=2

Everything is explained there.....

Unfortunately Thecus wasn't able to fix this in 1.00.07.

P.S. Maybe we need to start a FAQ.....

Doh! I've been following that thread as well, but I wasn't using 1.00.065 so I didn't pay enough attention! The URL fix works fine, and I might even try my arm at the editing once I get IMGDUP on.

As a side question (still related to the INFO module!). My SMART state is DISABLED and (predictably) all the SMART information reads as ERROR. How can I enable SMART, given that I know for a fact these drives support it?
EDIT: I'm a moron, please ignore me. I was looking at /dev/sde which I don't have as I've only got four drives! I clearly need more sleep....

Good call on the FAQ, if someone with a bit more Wiki-ing skill wants to set the page up on the Wiki with a sample Q&A on there I'll happily copy and paste all the things I've picked up from you guys over the last few weeks.

For your first question about SMART:

1) Login on your N5200
2) Check if SMART is supported with your disk:
smartctl --device=marvell -a /dev/sda
3) Enable SMART on that device:
smartctl --device=marvell --smart=on --offlineauto=on --saveauto=on /dev/sda

Of course you can do the same with /dev/sdb, /dev/sdc, etc.

This is due to my knowledge and what the man pages for smartctl tells me... but I've never actually tried this myself so it's up to you if you trust it

P.S.
Even though you now don't need it because of a weak moment ;D I'll answer your question anyway - maybe someone else might need it

Well I've bitten the bullet as I feel like I'm just taking from this community at the minute without giving anything back, so I've created an FAQ page on the Wiki, and started to put some of the problems I've had on it.

Many MANY apologies for the terrible formatting...
