PRIORITY MANAGER V1.7 BY BUYUKBANG : Complete Tool to Power Up Azbox

[gorski]

Buyuk, m8 - if you need someone to test it - I am good at it... allegedly... :D

Can I ask you: NFS is mounted automatically from NAS, for instance, if one puts in the correct details in the config file? I have a Synology NAS [Linux] and KGD 4890 FW forgets what I have mounted when it reboots... AZbox problem or KGD?

Also, if you would hear some non-techie comments: may I urge you to use a simpler, everyday language for functions like "toggle" etc. The more ordinary language the better. It won't push people away from the tool you so diligently work on!

Keep up the great job you're doing!

@gorski, I always welcome comments from people like you. Thank you for the testing offer, it would be wonderful to get your opinions before its release. I received some feedbacks from testers and I'll make small modifications on first v1.8 beta then I'll send you tomorrow v1.8 beta2. Could you please PM your email to me, I'll sen an email with PM 1.8 attached.

For the question, I think network interface must be ready before NFS mount and while booting azbox's network interface "may not" be ready while attaching your NAS drive. I think the best solution is to use a mount script with enough delay. You can use PM for that, I'm using it for startup NFS mount (PC mounts) and never seen a problem. Even PM supports waiting NAS/PC to be online. For example you can restart your NAS, then PM will automatically unmount it (because offline mounts freezes azbox file browser), then remount it when it's online again.

PM sent, with THANX!

For the question, I think network interface must be ready before NFS mount and while booting azbox's network interface "may not" be ready while attaching your NAS drive.

The thing is: when sending commands via PuTTy, NFS share from NAS will be mounted for as long as I don't reboot.

The Q is: why can't it be mounted after the reboot? Can we have the script to mount it, like SWAP file and so on? Can your SW do it? I obviously haven't tested it for that yet.

I tried the NFS mount "plugin" and CIFS NAS "plugin" but neither worked. Couldn't even get NAS to register in plugins properly [only to delete etc. but not to start], to get it going via remote. And believe me, generally I know how to do that.

I used KGD 4890 for the test.

Sounds good, would be cool to test and help sort it out, if I can! 8)

Thanx a bunch!
