Wow...  unlucky me.

 

I have two Unraid machines - intending to have one backup the other via CrashPlan.  I already posted issues with my "Destination" Unraid machine...  Now my "Source" Unraid, my main unit, has issues.

 

CrashPlan's GUI shows the backup complete...  which seems odd.  So I clicked the Change button and checked another folder to add to the backup.  Now it shows all of the folders to backup as "Missing".  I guess it makes sense the backup is complete if the folders are gone... but how can they be gone?  I can see them from \\tower\foldername...

 

But I can't access them.  I double click them and get a login box - using root and my password I can't view them - the login box flashes and comes right back.

 

UnMenu had crashed too.... but was able to relaunch it from a Telnet session.

 

In the web interface all my shares show as Exported and Public. 

 

Using UnMenu I stopped and restarted Samba - but that didn't change anything.

 

Attached is my syslog.

 

Not sure what to try here - except attempt a safe shutdown and restart.  Any ideas?

 

Thanks,

I had a similar issue the other day using 5rc8a. All my shares ( with the exception of the flash drive ) became inaccessible all of a sudden. Restarting samba via the GUI didn't help and in fact after the restart the share configuration become blank. Checked syslog and all I can see were those "Transport endpoint not connected" errors for each of my shares.

I stopped the array and rebooted the machine and it's all normal again.

Check your syslog for OOM (out of memory) errors.

There weren't any in my case. Plus the webGUI was still working. I thought that was one of the first things to get killed off in an OOM situation?

Hi Helmonder,

 

I didn't find any out of memory errors in my syslogs.  I posted them with the original post - please let me know if you see anything that makes sense.  :-)

 

Everything seems fine until I put my two Unraid machines under considerable stress - like when I have CrashPlan blasting a lot of files from one to the other and then try to open and save a bunch of files on a couple of computers at the same time.

 

Maybe it is memory related...  Or maybe it's the CrashPlan plague I seem to have.  I only seem to have problems when I insist on CrashPlan working.

 

Open to more ideas,

Well... crashplan uses a rather large amount of memory and some users (out of unraid) have reported success in increasing available memory for it, if you google around you will find some of that info.. I do not use it myself so I am not able to comment on them working..

 

Example: http://blog.insanegenius.com/2012/07/15/crashplan-memory-utilization/

I've figured out how to get CrashPlan to run for a "longer" amount of time - like two or three days instead of two or three hours - by lowering, in the Crashplan GUI, the "Settings" tab, "When user is away" and "When user is present" percent CPU settings - pretty low - like 50-60%.

 

I still have a ton of the "Transport endpoint is not connected" errors when it does crash.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks,

 

Russell
