Hi everyone,

due to Squids suggestion here https://forums.unraid.net/topic/120220-fix-common-problems-more-information/#findComment-1098686 I create a new post.

I have exactly this error on my server and can't find the reason why. I don't have any shares which are in- and excluded at the same time. And my server is just running 65 days.

Enclose you'll find my diagnostic files.

I'm little bit out of my comfort zone, so that's why I call for help.

Thanks in advance, kind regards and have a nice weekend

Patrick

your syslog is being spammed by messages of the form

Looks like you have an invalid entry in smb-extra file.

Ok.

What is the smb-extra file?

And how do I fix this?

  • Community Expert
  • Solution

Settings - SMB - SMB Extras

Remove this:

og level = 3

logging = syslog

Thanks a lot, that was the hint I needed.

found this:

I now remember why I enter this. Was for some old printer to scan to SMB share on my unraid.

So next and hopefully last question, how do I clean up my /var/log folder?

  • Author

Ok, have to wait.

Again, thanks a lot.
