I've had problems with disks dying suddenly, with the result that the unit and the GUI stops responding. The trouble is, that I never get any heads up of the disk going corrupt. I checked the settings using the command line interface and found that the parameter SMARTPollingInterval is set to 2160000 minutes. That is every 4 year! How can I change the SMART polling interval?
