I'd like to see a updated, easy to install istat version for the ReadyNAS.  The old server version doesn't work with the new app.

I've got a ReadyNAS OS (6.x) package for iStat v3.0 in my thread.

    Ok, but does this version work on RAIDiator 4.2.30 for my Ultra 2+ & Ultra 2 models, and RAIDiator 4.1.15 on my Duo model?

     

    You have them as .deb packages, is there any chance you could create the packages for installation through Frontview.

     

    Thanks,

    Simon.

      It's running on my upgraded 516 with 6.6.0 on it.  It's kind of nice seeing the info on my iPhone easyily.  But only works when I'm onmy Local network.  I don't know if I can use it away from home.  Netdata NT shows a ton more data.  Doesn't work on the iPhone, but on a Web-UI.   So depends on your needs and what Data you want to look at.    They're interesting, but for me, not a huge deal.    

       

      Having a older OS on your NAS can suck as you may not get these newer updates that require a newer OS for the program to run.  Everything is moving forward and you're kind of stuck in the past.  It's one of the reasons I got a newer/used NAS that supported the newer OS.  It's like trying to run Windows 10 on a 386 PC from the past.    Even programs like PLEX is now requiring the newer OS.  Development has stopped on the older OS versions.  

       

      If it's at all possible for someone to create a version that will still run on the older OS, I'm all for it.

        Thanks, but I will wait and see if anyone ports iStat on the 4.4.x and 4.1.x versions.

         

        I only use my NAS unit for Network attached Storage, backups using rsync, and the occassional Bittorrent.

         

        So the stats I am looking for are disk usage, and general CPU/memory load.

         

        There is no cost justification for replacing 3 perfectly working NAS units for new ones, just to work with the latest version of the ReadyNAS OS. Especially when this is based on a Linux distribution, proven over the last 20 years.

         

        Thanks,

        Simon.
