Upgraded firmware to 2.10.310 - now what?

[NunyaBiznas]

Finally got MCM running how I wanted with FTP working and all streaming services off so I decided to risk it all and upgrade firmware to 2.10.310. Main reason was security hole concerns.

Initial impressions:
The dark theme was much easier on the eyes.
With all of the issues reported on the forums I’ve never seen one that the UI was too dark. Probably one person on a focus group liked a brighter screen…

My available space immediately before was 3.6TB after was 3.74TB
(I’m in JBOD with 2 4TB drives)

Anything else I should look out for?

At least from my experiences so far:

• SMB response seems much quicker, especially the lag between initial connection and response whilst the drives wake up and get their act together is much faster (although I don’t have the power-saving stuff enabled)

• The front-panel LEDs are now always on when the unit is in standby (maybe a bug).

• You are able to read the current size (now much space used) for each share under the individual shares entry in the shares menu.

• The CPU usage seems a bit more controlled, it’s not always stuck at 100% like it used to be.

I think the lights are on because there is something constantly running. See my latest post:

What is upnp_nas_device and why is it running nonstop? All lights on

This morning all three lights on MCM were on. That’s not right it should be asleep. I open the dashboard and see memory at 40% and process at 50%. I have all of the media streaming, itunes, time machine, cloud features turned off. The biggest thing under process is upnp_nas_device at 14% I also have 6 instances of httpd at 8.5% Why is upnp_nas_device running and how do I kill it? update Six instances of httpd running and six shares can’t be a coincidence. I created a 7th share and reche…

My lights are in this order after turning things off and rebooting and giving a it a hour or so after the reboot. I am new to the MIrror but guessing its sleeping LED Pulsing blue slowing, other 2 Solid Blue

[DarrenHill]

Correct.

It used to be when the drives were off, the drive LEDs (the lower two) also went off, which to most of us made more sense.

[JohnSypin]

I don’t think its a bug tho unless they says so. It’s probably just who ever programmed it intended it to be. Has anyone from WD say anything yet?

[DarrenHill]

Not that I’ve seen, but it was repeatedly reported here just after the new firmware came out (as the previous version did it “properly” and turned off the LEDs when the drives were inactive).

That was what I’ve been saying for ages, but unfortunately was brutally ignored.
