So I'm playing around with APST (I had a slow day thankfully). I noticed when I'm using Debian, the power states will shift around depending on what the drive (1TB EX900 Plus M.2) needs to perform. The NVMe has 5 power states (0-4) and in Debian it will typically remain in power state 4...

Thanks. Not exactly what I wanted to hear but that's fine. Guess it's time to attempt to learn how to use kqueue in order to monitor a directory and all its sub-directories for a change. I'm sure I'll find an example, just integrating it into the current code that uses inotify will be a learning...

I know we have libinotify of which I unfortunately do not know how to use, but I am curious if inotify will be slated to be built into the FreeBSD kernel. I'm not sure who could even answer this question. In my particular situation I am running FreeBSD with MiniDLNA. Unfortunately the library...

Thanks for that input, glad you sound so optimistic about it and if you wanted to save me the time I'm perfectly happy to let you jump in and do it for me. I'm sure it would take you about an hour to incorporate and fully test it out ;) I did take a shot at libinotify port but it didn't work...

Unfortunately I haven't programmed in C in about 25 years, or at least it feels that long ago. I'm thinking about working the MiniDLNA code to include kqueue but it's likely over my head. I'd rather not restart MiniDLNA just to rescan the database.

In FreeNAS 8.3.1 (based on FreeBSD 8) I am using wait_on to monitor for changes to specific hard drive areas. My question is: In FreeBSD 9.1 is there any replacement that does basically the same thing? It's not that I don't like wait_on, but if there is something else out there, it might give...

I currently use The Ultimate Boot CD (version 5.2.1). It's a good tool and I use it a lot for MemTest86 and GPart but the CPU stress tests that I ran did not appear to affect the CPU in my system, meaning no fan speed increase and the heat sink was not warm tot he touch. I'm running an AMD...

With respect to SuperPi, is there a bootable version like Memtest86 or a DOS version? I have my new system and I don't want to load an OS just to test out the stability. Thanks.

Thanks for the information. I know of someone who looks like they are having RAM issues but Memtest86 passes and yet I'd swear he is having RAM issues. I'll see if I can get him to try out SuperPi and I will give it a shot as well. I will use it to test out my new system first and once...

Thanks for the inputs, not sure how SuperPi would be considered a RAM tester, it looks more like a CPU tester. I've broken down and ordered a new MB, CPU, and ECC RAM. I'd still like to see if there is a way to fully test Non-ECC RAM in particular just before a ZFS scrub. Unfortunately just...

Oh yes, that is outside my needs, dual CPUs and all. I do understand I don't need to populate both CPU sockets. I did just receive two servers, each cost just over $3500. Wish one of them were mine but they belong to the military. Installing those tomorrow morning. I'm sure they have lots of...

Wow, that was a mouth full! Very informative too. I've been trying to read about it on the internet since last night and even the user manuals for specific motherboards are cryptic to say the least. I just thought it would be nice to have the ability to have a KVM type setup but over the...

Interesting read, well really scary to be truthful. I had no idea the reasons a bit error could occur and thought it was merely a failing RAM chip. I still have the problem with money, well unless my wife hits the lottery. I do want to upgrade to a system with ECC RAM but if I do that then I'm...

Thanks for all the feedback. I didn't think I'd find a complete tool to do what I really need. I was hoping that there might be a memory tester than would reallocate the software in the RAM and then test the old block of RAM. In the good 'ole days we could do that, allocate a block of memory...

This might be a stupid question, and it won't be my last but I am curious if there is any way to run a comprehensive RAM test (check for physical RAM issues) from within a running FreeBSD operating system? Currently I run MemTest86+ for three full passes and then I feel good about my RAM but...

For some reason I was unable to use useradd to add ftp so I did it manually. Now it works. I don't know what FreeBSD 8.1 never gave me this problem. Hey, thanks for the help. Unfortunately I didn't get an email saying someone answered my request for help and after a few more hours of...

I'm having one heck of a time to get the built in ftpd to allow anonymous FTP access. I'm creating a SVN Mirror using subversion (already done for the most part) and an anonymous FTP server in a VM. These will be for programming and will save me time when I recompile code when I need to...

My brain is melting, maybe I'm just too tired but for the life of me I am unable to figure out how to split a string into many smaller strings. Could be because I'm just learning too and still can't figure out how awk can help me, if it can that is. Here is the problem: Within a BASH script...

The purpose of using "wait_on" is to prevent spinning up the hard drives just to check to see if a change had occurred so the use of ls(1) would provide to opposite effect. Also it's safe to expect users with thousands of files. I had one person state he had over 20K files in over 2K...

Hey I appreciate all the help. The purpose of the script was to find a way to scan for changed files within sub-directories that had a space in their name. This is for a stop gap solution to stop and restart MiniDLNA in the FreeNAS program. The FreeNAS build is based on nanobsd and runs from...
