circles forever.

Any time the spinner is up for longer than exactly 120 seconds it will never disappear.  However the underlying script that is taking long to finish will complete.

this i still would like to have that file backuped, and would prefer a "once a week" or so option...

Are your problems with it continually running the backup over and done with?

Is it still rclone? 

 

Run the `git log` and `git show <id>` commands from earlier in this thread to see what is changing.

I can't specifically identify what may be filling my syslog, any expert guidance would be appreciated.

Have you had a chance to read this thread?

 

*Something* is updating files on your flash drive repeatedly, causing the My Servers flash backup to back up the changes.

 

You have the rclone plugin installed, that is the likely culprit. Unfortunately, while it is running it updates the /boot/config/plugins/rclone/.rclone.conf on the flash drive continuously.

 

Open a web terminal and run the commands posted earlier in this thread:
  https://forums.unraid.net/topic/112745-stop-useless-backups/#comment-1032807 

that will tell Flash Backup not to backup the .rclone.conf file

 

Then you'll probably want to reboot to clear out your log file.

 

@olschool Were you able to run those commands to stop rclone from being backed up continuously?

I did but this is what I got

 

root@YoungStewtsGen:~# /etc/rc.d/rc.flash_backup stop
root@YoungStewtsGen:~# git -C /boot rm --cached /boot/config/plugins/rclone/.rclone.conf
fatal: Unable to create '/boot/.git/index.lock': File exists.

Another git process seems to be running in this repository, e.g.
an editor opened by 'git commit'. Please make sure all processes
are terminated then try again. If it still fails, a git process
may have crashed in this repository earlier:
remove the file manually to continue.
root@YoungStewtsGen:~# git -C /boot commit -m "remove .rclone.conf"
fatal: Unable to create '/boot/.git/index.lock': File exists.

OK do it again, but wait 20 minutes after the "stop" command before running the "rm" command.

 

If you still get this message after waiting 20 minutes:
  '/boot/.git/index.lock': File exists.
then let me know the output from running this:  

ps -ef | grep "git"

(and don't run any more commands after that)

I'm also having issues with constantly getting FlashBackups from Dynamix monitor.ini

When a disk hits its warning threshold for temp or capacity then it modifies this monitor.ini file. We just moved into summer so my NVMe's have been going above 55C so been triggering FlashUpdate 30x or more per day. 

Ended up raising the temp limits and putting in a .gitignore for the monitor.ini file
