Thanks for the reply. Your setup is similar to what I plan to do.

I have a spare licensed usb key and would like to try the latest V6 beta on my current server running V5.05. I know the usual caveats about using the betas (data loss, etc.) Am I doing anything especially crazy by booting with the V6 beta and then, after exploring, rebooting into V5.05? I am especially interested in testing Xen and replacing my plugins with apps on a Ubuntu VM. Thanks.

I powered down the server, restarted, array was brought online (without the new disk of course) and now preclearing stage 2 is chugging along at 126MB/s. Strange.

Smart report and sys log attached. syslog.zip smart.txt

I'm in the process of pre-clearing a new 1T hard drive and step 2 of the process seems extremely slow at 957 kB/s. Step 1 flew along at 150 MB/s. The drive is attached to a pci-e sata card (with a Marvell chipset) that I replaced a pci sata card (Silicon Image chipset) with. Any suggestions? BTW this is on Unraid 5 with a quad core AMD cpu with 4 gigs ram.

I'm getting the following error message: Mar 17 15:26:34 Tower kernel: REISERFS warning: reiserfs-5090 is_tree_node: node level 968 does not match to the expected one 2 Mar 17 15:26:34 Tower kernel: REISERFS error (device md5): vs-5150 search_by_key: invalid format found in block 221531332. Fsck? Anyone? Otherwise my system seems fine. I ran a short smart test on the disk and the result shows no errors.

I have Newznab (latest revision) running under Dynamix. I had been having trouble updating with Influencer's plugin and couldn't update beyound Rev 3049 due to the switch to pdo. I switched from Simple Features as Dynamix uses a later version of PHP in it's web browser so I can now update to the latest revision. I created a new installation of Newznab (I didn't use Influencer's plugin for the reason you stated, it looks for the Simple Features Web Server.) After manually installing NN using svn, I copied the rewrite rules from my old copy of lighttpd.cfg to the dynamix.lighttpd.cfg file. Then I renamed my old php.ini file to dynamix.php.cfg and moved it to the /boot/config/plugins/dynamix directory overwriting the original file. In the Dynamix webserver configuration you need to set the web root to whatever your NN www directory is. Obviously the drawback to my method is you have to start from scratch with NN.

Thanks. Got the script working.

Turns out my PS3Media Server installation was causing a problem resulting in crond segfaults. I replaced it with Serviio, my cron job now runs. On a side note, can you script gurus suggest some modification of my previouslly posted Mysql backup script that would delete previous backups that were say 2 days old as I would at most want to keep 2 backups. Thanks.

Tried Lainie, doesn't work. I suspect one of my plugins may be the culprit, I'll try disabling one at a time and see what happens.

I've been trying to automate the backup of my Mysql database by putting a script in cron.hourly (for testing, will move to daily when done.) So far, no luck, The script does run from the command line. #! /bin/bash #Mysql Backup /usr/bin/mysqldump -u root -proot newznab | gzip > /mnt/user/Backup/Mysql/newznab_`date +%Y%m%d`.sql.gz I did make it executable so permissions shouldn't be a problem. I suspect there may be a problem in connection with my upgrade to V5. Previously, under 4.7 I had, through Unmenu, monthly parity checks and emails concerning status. These stoped working after the upgrade. When upgrading, I added Simplefeatures and various plugins. Thinking that maybe Simplefeatures plugins were causing a problem, I disabled all but the web gui and webserver, still no luck running the cron job. I'm am still running other plugins (SABnzbd, Couch Potato, Headphones, Sickbeard, Newznab, Mysql, PS3 Media Server.) Any thoughts?

I don't use Spotweb, but I edited my lighttpd.cfg using this method in order to use separate rewrite rules for newznab and phpMyAdmin. It works now, but when I try to send a nzb from newznab directly to SABbnzbd using SABnzbd's api, SABnzbd gets stuck at "trying to fetch nzb..." It does have the the correct url of the nzb file, (if I paste the url in the web browser it gets the file.) Any suggestions?

I'm having trouble editing this file. I found only one instance of it in my etc directory. When I stop Mysql and edit the file, then restart Mysql, the file reverts to it's original settings. I've crashed the data base several times importing nzbs (100 at a time using the modified import script) and have to re-install Newznab. I'm sure these settings are the reason. BTW is there any way to recover after Newznab crashes its database? I've tried restarting Mysql, rebooting the server, but ended up re-installing and in the process losing all data. Thanks for your help. I believe you are modifying the cnf file that is stored in ram. Once restarted, it gets overwritten. See the following post on how to modify the actual or get around it by copying your custom file over the ram version of my.cnf: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=18417.msg167247#msg167247 Thanks, you pointed me in the right direction. . Since I installed Mysql using the plugin, I checked the plugin and it stated that if a my.cfn file was in the plugin's configuration directory in the boot directory, it would copy that file over to the etc directory. I copied an edited version of the my.cfn file to the boot directory and it is copied to ram upon installation. Newznab is happy now, let's see if it avoids crashing the database.

I have the following notifications on my admin page: 1 MySql my.cnf setting group_concat_max_len is too low, should be >= 8192. 2 MySql my.cnf setting max_allowed_packet is too low, should be >= 12582912. How do I go about changing the MySQL configuration?

Solved the problem. Nothing to do with Unriad, my configuration was incorrect. As HAL the computer said in "2001" "We've come across this before, it's always been human error."

I just upgraded from 4.7 to 5.0 rc8. I re-installed various apps (Sabnzbd, Couch Potato, Headphones, etc.) on my cache drive using the plugins. Everything seems ok except that post processing of files/folders (renaming) by the apps doesn't seem to be working. I suspect it's a permissions issue. I did run the initial permissions script when I upgraded. The apps are running as "nobody." Any suggestions?
