    @thinair:

    php status_service.php showed up oncein a couple minutes, aside from that, nothing else but mini_httpd.  And that was from SSH.

    Hrm.  Very strange.

      It the hdd activity light starts flashing often again, I'll retry those commands and post the results.

      As a note, it didn't seem to matter if my connection was idle or active either.

        when in doubt reboot;). How long after you reboot does it do this?

        Memory glitch??…it's a guess.

          I have the same problem. The HDD activity flashes all the time. And it starts right after boot.
          I use Beta 3 and have no extra packages installed.

                I had a similar problem ages ago with a 0.8 series.  Turned out that the firewall couldn't resolve the ntp server address because the dns servers were not right/reachable.

                So my advice is just search for anything thats wrong.

                  @thinair:

                  • Will this be an issue when I move to a CF card?

                  Apparently you can tell the system to mount the CF card r/o and only mount it r/w while a config change happens.

                  To do that you put the single word wrap into /etc/platform

                  echo wrap > /etc/platform

                  But that made no difference for me even after a restart.

                    it's not "wrap" anymore, it was changed to "embedded" some time ago

                      Marvellous thank you.  How do I mount / rw for a bit if I want to change stuff?
                        mount / -o remount,rw
                      doesn't do it.  (yeah I'm a linux hoe)

                          Use Diagnostics -> Edit file from the webConfigurator, it does this automatically when you save the file.
