ReadyNas & Spiceworks
Hi All, I dont need a definate answer, i have somewhat given up, but let me ask my question and if anyone knows a better way i am happy to try. Do note though i am not really too keen on enabling r...
Ah-ha, so it's not just me. Well that is good at least, and as with your reporting, my nas reports a negative 100 and something free space figure as well as unknown CPU.
Chirpa did take some interest a while back but i guess he's busy (perhaps working on a magic formular for me - we can hope).
You now see what i mean, neither Admin (the web one, which i doubt would work anyway) and the root with rootssh enabled do not gather any further information, and in my case, gathered less than SNMP alone.
I have tried this both on an Ultra 6 and an NV+
Now as stated, both device has in-built disk/space monitors and are configured to email with notifications, which works perfectly fine. But it would be a nice bonus to have Spiceworks read the information correctly - however that may be, but possibly not requiring root.
I have posted the same issue on the SW forum and a member claimed root was essential, but as we have both witnessed, this is not true.
That lead me here to ask the same question.
So far the results are the same, but as above Chirpa did take away some more information than the SW members and i am sure he is ferretting away somewhere with magic dust and sprinkles figuring this out for me (now us).
I had thought that the addon might be the issue, but having tried root, which uses SSH to query the device i would guess not. But i am no Linux expert so i am not going to say it is, just 'guess not'
Glad to have helped on the SW/W7 issue, i'm sure you will now get back in to SW and see what it can do for you.
