PaulieORF Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 I installed and setup the My Servers plugin in April and all was good. I hadn't thought about it for a while, so I opened up the plug-in and saw that the flash backup (which originally was working fine) was now showing "fatal: .git/index: index file smaller than expected", as you can see in the screenshot I'm including. I have rebooted my server, signed out and back into My Servers, uninstall and re-installed the plug-in, and so on. All the while My Servers shows that it's online. I've also not been able to find any posts on the community or internet in general regarding this error. I'm hoping someone here is able to help, as a regular flash backup would definitely help me sleep easier at night! Thanks in advance. P.S. I'm running 6.9.2. Quote Link to comment
ionred Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 +1 Bump. Just reinstalled after having it uninstalled for a month. Same issue as OP. Quote Link to comment
ljm42 Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 Sorry I missed the original post, most My Servers questions are coming in over here: https://forums.unraid.net/topic/104018-my-servers-early-access-plugin/ I haven't seen this error before. FYI, we are working on other issues related to Flash Backup: https://forums.unraid.net/topic/104018-my-servers-early-access-plugin/page/17/?tab=comments#comment-996161 Quote Link to comment
ionred Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 (edited) @ljm42 I think it had to do with this being a reinstall. I can't recall the status of my backup before but it's possibly related. I just fixed it for myself. I did the following steps to get it working: *wiped the /boot/.git directory *removed /var/local/emhttp/flashbackup.ini * then manually initialized with php /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/dynamix.my.servers/scripts/UpdateFlashBackup.php activate Perhaps more checks are needed on a reinstall to remove the .git directory and any leftovers from a previous install to prevent this? Edit: the last step may have been unnecessary to manually activate from the CLI. I did not refresh the myservers page in the GUI to see if it would work automatically. I can say for sure that just removing the .git folder under boot was not enough, though. Edited May 29, 2021 by ionred clarification 2 Quote Link to comment
