TOA1 on 622 New Software

[Smith P.]

Eeh Scott. You missed a chance to check if your number is lucky one .

Also, by the way, there are additional "buttons" under the Analysis menu.

Hard Drive is lit up. After hitting that your choices are:

1. FS Check
2. Restart
3. Shut Down

Reformat is also there but it is "greyed out".

As others have noted here or elsewhere, this software has "debug" code turned on and that's likely also why you have these add'l menu options. Rest assured, they'll not remain in the public version. Then again, I don't see the harm in them. "Restart" is no different than holding the power button on the front panel. Both do an orderly shutdown. Pulling the power cord is bad on the filesystem normally but the 622 has a journaled FS, so it's not so bad....

My thoughts exactly!

"but the 622 has a journaled FS" - nay, only 921 had that luxury.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

The 921 programmers seemed to like the movie Silence of the Lambs too much.

All kinds of Hanibel Lecter references in the source code and file system.
