  1. I'll save my current log and reboot so I can compare the two logs. This way I can make sure nothing else is being removed. It shouldn't, the patterns were specific enough they shouldn't catch anything else.

     

    huh?  what do you mean it fixed itself?  what did you change?  I just think this is weird how the icon is screwed up.

     

  2. From what I can tell yes. For future reference, when posting code or command like that, use the code button at the top of the post box. It wraps the code in [ code ] [ /code ] so it formats properly.

     

    Like I mentioned earlier, you can run that in telnet by copying like you did, and right click in telnet to paste. It will add the cron now, otherwise it will not be added until you reboot.

     

    Speeding ant, may I suggest you add that to the OP until you get a chance to rewrite the email script? Would allow users to continue to use the add on and not spam their syslog. Not a solution but a band-aid for the interim.

     

    Thanks again, after adding these cron jobs, my syslog is very short and clean.  It's almost seems too short.

     

    Also, not so big of a deal, but the icon for "Logs" under "Utils" is just a big red X, as if it cannot find the icon.  All of my other icons look fine.  I've tried reloading the Simplefeatures log file, but no change.  Is that what you see too, or is something wrong?

     

  3. I just noticed that when viewing the drive information, all but 3 drives have the Partition Format status of MBR unaligned.  My Partiy, disk2 and disk3 show GPT: 4k aligned.  I have 8 drives, plus parity, and cache, and boot of course.

     

    Would this be tied to the AFP TimeShare that I created?  Better question, is this anything to worry about?

     

    My server seems happy.

     

    I'm running test2.

     

    Thanks!

  4. Thanks!  man, I didn't notice that it went off the screen when I did the copy/paste.  Let me try that again.

     

    Where is my go file;

     

    #!/bin/bash

    # Start the Management Utility

    /usr/local/sbin/emhttp &

    # /boot/unmenu/uu

    # cd /boot/packages && find . -name '*.auto_install' -type f -print | sort | xargs -n1 sh -c

     

    unraid_notify start

    sed -i '/Scheduled Parity Check/d' /var/spool/cron/crontabs/root

    sed -i '/cron=\"\"/d' /var/spool/cron/crontabs/root

    crontab -l > /tmp/log; echo '#Remove ioctl error from syslog' >> /tmp/log; echo '* */1 * * * sed -e "/.*sending\ ioctl.*/d" -e "/.*callbacks\ suppressed.*/d" -e "/.*last\ message.*/d" /var/log/syslog >tmp && mv tmp /var/log/syslog' >>/tmp/log; crontab /tmp/log; rm /tmp/log

     

     

    Now does that look ok?

     

  5. Thanks!  I will add those lines to my go script.

     

    My go file looks like this now:

     

    #!/bin/bash

    # Start the Management Utility

    /usr/local/sbin/emhttp &

    # /boot/unmenu/uu

    # cd /boot/packages && find . -name '*.auto_install' -type f -print | sort | xargs -n1 sh -c

     

    unraid_notify start

    sed -i '/Scheduled Parity Check/d' /var/spool/cron/crontabs/root

    sed -i '/cron=\"\"/d' /var/spool/cron/crontabs/root

    crontab -l > /tmp/log; echo '#Remove ioctl error from syslog' >> /tmp/log; echo '* */1 * * * sed -e "/.*sending\ ioctl.*/d" -e "/.*callbacks\ suppressed.*/d" -e "/.*last\ message.*/d"

     

    Does that look ok?

     

    Thanks!

  6. good point, sure would be nice if the guy who created this woudl just fix it

     

    You have to remember, none of the people developing these plugins and addons get paid to do so. We do it for the love of the product. So when life gets a bit hectic, these add-ons will take a back burner.

     

    I maintain a number of plugins, and while there are features I'd like to add and some bugs I'd like to squash, if between work and family I don't have much time to develop these, they get set aside until I do get time. I'm sure its the same for speeding ant.

     

    That being said, you can set a cron to delete those lines every hour or however often you like to keep your syslog tidy and small until the issue can be resolved. If you'd like I can probably write it in so you can place it in your go file to add to cron every boot.

     

    Understood and many thanks.  Given I'm not good at this stuff, yes please could you write that script?  I didn't know that was possible, but it sounds like a good short term fix until you have the time to work on this stuff.

     

    thanks!

  7. I have a question about this. I dedicated an entire disk for time machine backups. I excluded this disk from shares. Is there anything else I should do?

     

    On a related note. While playing with shares, I created a share called time machine and got it working with time machine but it got borked somehow. There's an Apple .db file I can't delete and thus I'm not able to delete the share. Any help on how to delete this share?

     

    TapTap

     

    Try rebooting the server, and then deleting the file.

  8. when will there be a new version to address the millons of syslog entries??  The email plugin is the cause of my syslog growing out of control.  It makes it hard to find what you need to see with all that junk in there.

     

    Isn't everyone else seeing these entries in your syslog?

     

    New version please!

     

    Yeah, I deleted the email plugin to address that.  The logs were so spammed they were useless.

    Ok, but then you don't get any email notifications, which isn't good either.  the fat logs don't hurt anything ,just make it hard to find real errors.

     

    We need an updated version that corrects this, where is the guy who developed it??

     

    I get these errors non-stop,

    wtf?

  9. Hi guys, I have a iMac now and need to setup a TimeMachine share.  I'm not a mac guy so I would like to get feedback on how to configure the share on the unraid.  I'm on v5 rc6 TEST.

     

    I set this up with the following so far,

     

    AFP protocal

    Export = Yes (TimeMachine)

    Security = Public

    size limit = 500gb

    Include Disk = All

    Exclude = none

    Use Cache drive = NO

    Export SMB = NO

     

    The iMac connected to the share and started the backup, then failed because it said the share wasn't available.  The drives may have gone to sleep before it had a chance to finish.

     

    Also, when I created this share, it created some directories in my "Movies" share.  Why the hell would it do that?  I didn't want anything changed on my Movies share and found this weird.  I just deleted those directories to clean up my Movies share.

     

    Thanks!

  10. I would like some recommendations on network adaptor configs because I had this setup before and was getting 70 - 80 kbs/s, which is nice and fast.  I'm not only getting 45 - 50 kbs/s copy speeds.  My old cisco router died and I replaced with a Netgear router.

     

    I have the Super C2SEE mothboard with the gig port.  My pc has the evga X58 3 with gig too.  My Netgear router confirms I'm connected at 1000 Full.

     

    Some settings that I have enabled are;

     

    Jumbo frames on my pc adaptor and my switches.

    Flow control is enabled on everything

     

    My pc is Win 7  64bit

     

    On my netgear rounter, the only settings to change are RIP direction - which is set to BOTH.  The other setings is RIP version, which is disabled.

     

    I have both my pc and unraid server directly connected to the Netgear N900 router.

     

    I'm running v5 rc6 8168 TEST

     

    Any idea why my speeds are down?

  11. Ok, thanks Joe.  I had already rebooted and that is how I got my shares back, so I guess the logs didn't write to boot\logs and that timeframe is gone.  I guess I'll have to wait and see if this issue happens again, and next time I will get those var\logs before rebooting.

     

    What is the size before they get rotated out?  And, does it write the log to \boot\logs\ when it does that?

     

    So, the server will write the live logs to var\logs while the server is up and running.  Then when shutting down it writes them to boot/logs/ folder on the flash drive, is that correct?  I'm just trying to understand the flow so I can watch for this to happen again.

     

    Thanks!

  12. Yes, I am using SMB.

     

    For the syslog, I'm confused, to say the least. :)

     

    I provided the log from my server on the 13th 4:40.  I didn't restart at 4:40 am, I was in bed.  The starting point shows Restart at the beginning and then right up to Aug 14 7:36pm (ish) when I had tried to trigger the SMB to re-share everything, and then when that didn't work I restarted the server.  There is no other syslog on my system for this timeframe.  What is really weird, is the log before this was dated Aug 7, then and that one ends on Aug  7 6:45am.  Then the one I uploaded here started on Aug 13 4:40.  Where is the log for in between Aug 7 6:45 to Aug 13 4:40??  I'm looking in boot\logs\

     

    Why and how could a syslog be missing?  My server did not crash and was running the entire time.

     

    Has anyone had a syslog just dissapear? Maybe this is related to why the SMB stopped working.  Again, when looking at the system at that time, my shares were all gone.  The reboot brought them back.

     

    How can you tell that it isn't complete? 

     

    What is the size limit before it splits and creates a new syslog file?

  13. no, I actually wans't even home and my family went to watch a movie and said it was erroring out.  When I got home I found that we were unable to reach any shares, from the pch the pc, etc.  This happened all on it's own.  the reboot fixed it but that should not of happened.

     

    I'm still waiting to see if anyone can figure out any clues from my syslog, but so far no luck.

  14. same for me, all betas have  been very solid.  The only issue I have had is my shares dissapeared the other day and I don't have a reason as to why yet, as nobody can seem to tell from my syslog what happened.

     

     

    The SimpleFeatures and the bugs that go with those plugins are my only issue, as indicated in above posts.

     

    I still vote for FINAL.  :)
