6.6.1 - Weekly Parity Check runs daily?

Try changing the schedule, apply, change back and apply again.

And if that fails, then post the output of

cat /etc/cron.d/root

In my testing it looks like parsing of the cron entry isn't done correctly. E.g.

# crontab test
* * * 3,6,9,12 * /boot/custom/bin/test 1> /dev/null

The above command should be excuted in the months March, June, September and December only, but instead it is executed every month.

 

Perhaps need to check if dcron is properly compiled?

I'm having the same issue on 6.6.3.  Set to run weekly, but it's running daily.   My 6.5.3 is still running weekly fine.

 

I've tried multiple changes to the scheduler with no luck. 

 

# Generated parity check schedule:
0 0 * * * /usr/local/sbin/mdcmd check  &> /dev/null || :

Looks like it's an issue with Sunday.  Monday seems to generate a more correct cron (though I'm not sure what the "|| :" is trying to do):

 

# Generated parity check schedule:
0 0 * * 1 /usr/local/sbin/mdcmd check  &> /dev/null || :

Known issue, will be fixed in the next release

Forgot to mention, mine was fine on Monday, just Sunday was not worky!

Just wanted to chime in with the same problem, I know you already identified the bug. I'm also one of the ones who needs checks done on Sunday. For now looks like Saturday will have to do!

 

 

Changed Status to Retest

Changed Status to Open

Yes, there is a bug not taking zero values (e.g. Sunday = 0). Fixed for next release.
