I noticed I was getting didn't put the drive away properly in the console (I just unplugged it without doing anything).

What does "repair AppleTV" do in nitoTV?

Finally, is there a way, via logging into the ATV, to track memory usage. I've noticed that mounting too many volumes sometimes forces me to restart the Finder. Perhaps this is also related to the problems with the terabyte drive. After all there is "only" 256megs in the ATV (same as the Popcorn Hour A110 by the way ).

Thank's...ls
yeh ejecting a drive works the same for every type of drive in nitoTV tapping rewind on the remote with the volume should eject it as long as it isnt in use, there will be an error returned if it fails to eject. repair will run diskutil's repair on both the media and osboot partitions (same as i it were running in apples disk utility gui program in mac os x) im pretty certain top can track memory usage (amongst other things) that should be installed i you have run the smart installer at any point. just logging in and typing "top" will get you a pretty extensive list of stats. There are various memory leaks that i've had little luck tamping down (debugging and tracking leaks is a nightmare when devving for the atv) i generally 2 hard drives and probably about 3-4 network volumes mounted at all times and don't really notice too many issues.
