Hi,

I am on Unraid 7.0.1

I have SMB mounts to another machine for backup. To save energy I only turn on that host when the backup job is running.

 

I now noticed that the syslog spams this message every 10 seconds or so.
Apr  9 19:11:03 <Unraid hostname>key.dns_resolver: <BACKUP hostname>: No address associated with name

I figured out that it caused by the SMB shares. So I unmounted the drives. The message still repeats in the syslog.

 

Even when I removed the shares completely the message appears.

It only stoops after a reboot.

 

This looks to me like a bug. Did anyone encounter similar behavior?

 

Cheers,

 

Geefle

I assume you are using the UD plugin? If yes, looks more like a plugin issue.

Thanks I will post my issue in their thread.

There is an option to Automount a share as shown below:

 

 

Since the other computer is generally off, why not just manually mount after you start that computer...

@frank. I run a backup script that boots the other server using WOL. I wanted to also mount the drives via script but could not find a way to do that. That would be my preferred option the script would mount the drives run the backup dismount the drives and shutdown the server
