re: upgrading storage - See the section of the manual

For RAID 1 volume on two and more bays models*
1. Turn off the Synology Product.
2. Replace the first internal hard drive with a larger hard drive.
3. Turn on the Synology Product and rebuild the volume.
4. Repeat step 1 to 3 until all internal hard drives are replaced with larger hard
drives.
5. Click the Expand button to expand the volume size.
p.s. For hot-swappable models, you can perform the above procedures when
the model is powered on.

wrt to filesystem: looks like ext3 from the manual. Could check tonight.

Thanks will look at the speed caps I'm sure I had it down very low but will try again.

Site/Forum Features / Re: * to bulleted list
« Last post by justice on February 10, 2009, 08:37 AM »
two issues here I'm trying to address:

1) make it look like this:
2009-02-10_143537.jpg

2) when you created a list and add more items to it you have to copy and paste the [li][/li] multiple times or create another list and remove the [list][/list] tags. HASSLE! it would be much easier if you could create a textbased list like my first example and convert it into proper html/bbcode listing like markdown.

3) maybe I'm just a bit dim, because I noticed as long as I put each item on a new line and only press the button at the very end it creats a bulleted list (but its harder to read when building the list)

General Software Discussion / Outlook 2007 To-do bar question
« Last post by justice on February 10, 2009, 08:33 AM »
Ok I have two calendars at work a project one and my own. The To-do bar only shows upcoming meetings from project calendar only causing me to miss meetings. Can I change the ToDo bar to show upcoming meetings from the other calendar instead?

Can't find an option

Just writing in to say I'm happily using the DS209+ that kind Perry sent my way. It has to be the most approachable linuxbox I ever used, thanks to its webinterface.

  • It has really sold me on the use of NAS for home use - really underestimate it's uses!
  • Now backing up my work properly onto RAID 1 - feel a lot safer working with my documents and music and scripts
  • Love the extensibility of it being based on a light linux system
  • Works great to stream video's to the living room's Xbox 360 - video on demand
  • Managed to install subversion onto it :D Notes are available. Can't recommend this enough.
  • Managed to install scp onto it - Archiving files onto it is so much easier now
  • download station scheduler is a bit limited -I'd prefer an hour based, 24 slots a day, 7 days per week so I can set it to only download outside peak usage period for my broadband service (which is different in the weekend) - or start / stop via cron. Really only minor criticism so far.
  • Great combination of ease of use and tweaking - the desktop utilities take the setting up out of the setup but if I want I can connect with putty and mess about
  • Looking into upgrading storage - and in theory it's easy: take one raid1 drive out, rebuild, slot bigger one in, rebuild, (start again for other drive) - done!
  • When you switch off the power because of raid1 and its functions it recovers automatically and there is no problem - maybe shouldn't do that too often?

few experimental things I tried:
  • Can't get icecast working yet - wanted to use it as a streaming server but as soon as I connect to icecast it doesn't recognise my audio stream (yet), but this is not a build in feature so following tutorials for other devices to get it working - will be great when it does.
  • Can't get bittorrent downloading to work without my internet connection slowing down to a crawl - had better results using uTorrent but I know that program better so I'll put it down to me not being an expert on this topic. Might be router issue or my misconfiguration - I tried 40 connections per torrent and running 5 torrents max - ports properly forwarded. Updated firmware for Netgear dg834g

Developer's Corner / Re: How to maintain a reusable updatable code
« Last post by justice on February 10, 2009, 07:33 AM »
Yeah that's similar to how I use it with autohotkey I include the single copy of dcuhelper.exe (to provide dcupdate support) to all my scripts using svn:externals so I can update dcuhelper.exe once and have it current in all projects.

Site/Forum Features / * to bulleted list
« Last post by justice on February 10, 2009, 07:31 AM »
    I like this forum software but I really hate how hard it is to create bulleted lists (i'm a fan of them).

    Would it be possible to write a mod (I got some credits left for this) that converts text in the format of:

      * item one
      * item two
      ** subitem two-a

    into a list like

    • item one
    • item two
      • subitem two-a

    Or is there a quick way to mark up lists? As a bonus converting # item 1 to ordered lists (1. item 1)

    edit: dunno how you create a subitem in bbcode

Finally got around to using svn:externals for a project, to include my VS project for unrar - thanks again for tipping me about it, Justice, it's a darn useful feature :)
Could you detail how you use it? 'for unrar'?

Developer's Corner / Re: How to maintain a reusable updatable code
« Last post by justice on February 10, 2009, 03:28 AM »
Yeah it's definately the way to go with regards to shared code.

Only cavat I found is that if you got the setup that we have: project 'A' that includes externals 'SHARED' and a testing server + live server and you update SHARED, obviously project A isn't updated instantly. Our 'testing build' is a checkout that gets updated every time a developer commits to it. Changes in SHARED don't update 'testing' until one of us made another commit locally.

change is SHARED -> local working copy update for project A -> make change project A -> commit -> SHARED code commited.
instead of
change in SHARED -> update all testing builds that use SHARED.

OTOH that helps with testing things better but we have no formal testers.

You'll want to know that someone commented on related article that PAE is disabled in desktop versions of windows due to the fact that not all drivers support it and this would impact system stability - or your pc might not boot up.

Windows XP originally supported a full 4 GB of RAM. You would be limited to 3.1-3.5 GB without PAE, but if you enabled PAE on a 4 GB system with proper chipset and motherboard support, you would have access to the full 4 GB. As more people began to take advantage of this feature using commodity (read: cheapest product with the features I want) hardware, Microsoft noticed a new source of crashes and blue screens. These were traced to drivers failing to correctly handle 64-bit physical addresses. A decision was made to improve system stability at a cost of possibly wasting memory. XP SP2 introduced a change such that only the bottom 32 bits of physical memory will ever be used, even if that means some memory will not be used. (This is also the case with 32-bit editions of Vista.) While this is annoying to those who want that little bit of extra oomph, and while I would have liked a way to re-enable the memory “at my own risk”, this is probably the right decision for 99.9% of the general population of Windows users (and probably saves Dell millions in support costs). See the relevant KB article and a TechNet article for details.

Some of the server Operating Systems still allow the use of larger amounts of memory. I’m guessing that this is done with the assumption that higher quality parts will be used and drivers will be more likely to have been tested in PAE mode with large addresses.

You don't need to apply invalid css to fix things in internet explorer, use conditional comments and then set styles that work just for ie (or specific versions of ie).
