Unraid Notifications Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, scandir '/tmp/notifications/unread'

Featured Replies

Hey All,

I get the following error when checking notifications: ENOENT: no such file or directory, scandir '/tmp/notifications/unread'

I did google the error and someone mentioned try uninstalling the unraid connect plugin which I have done.

When rebooting the server everything seem fine for a 'while' and then I get the error.

Thank you for your help in advance.

Does it happen in safe mode?

Hey JorgeB,

I've just booted the server into safe mode so will check tomorrow, it normally takes a while to go from working to not working.

Thank you

Hey JorgeB,

I've just checked the notifications on my server and they seem to be normal.

If a plugin is causing this issue would you be able to narrow it down from the diagnostics?

Thank you

Do any of your user scripts use Notifications?

  • Author

Hey trurl,

I don't think so. Attached are my user scripts. I haven't touched them in a while.

I do pipe out notifications to Discord.

Thank you

Peter

Morning Siiire,

I did, after removing all my plugins and scrips, and still having the issue it led me to the method of transcoding I was using. As far as I understand unraid runs in ram and so do the notifications which made me think it was my ram disk. I changed the location of jellyfins transcode to use /dev/shm instead of this extra parameters in the docker container --mount type=tmpfs,destination=/tempdl,tmpfs-size=1000000

Thank you so much! You've fixed my issue. I had my transcodes simply mapped to /tmp, seems like it didn't play well with unraid notifications strored in tmp memory.
