July 3, 201412 yr Hi, Just noticed that suddenly I have this error message repeating over and over in the log: Jul 2 22:28:13 Tower avahi-daemon[8475]: server.c: Packet too short or invalid while reading known answer record. (Maybe a UTF-8 problem?) Jul 2 22:28:45 Tower last message repeated 4 times Jul 2 22:29:49 Tower last message repeated 8 times Jul 2 22:30:54 Tower last message repeated 9 times I've attached a full syslog too (after multiple reboots). I've tried doing a check disk on the USB drive, powering down, updating dynamix and unmenu. Still appears. Attached Log is after doing all this I tried rebooting and still the same error message popping up. I have tried replacing the network cable. Never seen it before, and don't have any issues. I'm running unraid 5 final with Dynamix. Been running this server for a few months. Reading more it seems like Avahi is related to AFP and/or IOS stuff, which I have never enabled. Any ideas? I found one person who posted the same/similar error in the v6 forum but no explanation/solution that I could find. Should I be worried? Thanks syslog-2014-07-02.zip
July 4, 201412 yr Author I couldn't figure out why I was getting this message anymore but I found a line to add to my go script that turns off avahi and that made it go away. I don't have many IOS products and my wifes macbook can still connect to the unraid server via smb anyway. She doesn't use timemachine so I was happy with this resolution. Here is the line I added: for i in /etc/rc.d/rc.avahi* ;do :>$i ;done
July 13, 201411 yr I guess I should've scanned further down before I posted, I am getting the same issue.
July 13, 201411 yr Is this error related? I see this error several times in my log. avahi-daemon[1764]: Received packet from invalid interface.
July 24, 201411 yr I have the same error, but I want to use TimeMachine so I do not want to turn it off as mentioned above. Any idea what it is? Over and over... Jul 23 14:48:05 Server avahi-daemon[1455]: server.c: Packet too short or invalid while reading known answer record. (Maybe a UTF-8 problem?) Jul 23 14:48:37 Server last message repeated 2 times Jul 23 14:49:42 Server last message repeated 4 times Jul 23 14:50:46 Server last message repeated 4 times Jul 23 14:51:50 Server last message repeated 4 times Jul 23 14:52:54 Server last message repeated 4 times Jul 23 14:53:58 Server last message repeated 4 times Jul 23 14:55:02 Server last message repeated 4 times BTW, I added "for i in /etc/rc.d/rc.avahi* ;do :>$i ;done" to the end of my GO file and rebooted. It did not stop the error. Thanks
July 28, 201411 yr I have been having the same error message for the past couple of weeks. Nothing has been changed regarding the configuration of the server for more than 6 months, and there are no addons being used. Any suggestions?
July 28, 201411 yr Author I'm no expert but it seems like this message started appearing for people around the same time. Was there some IOS update that could have been the trigger?
July 28, 201411 yr Maybe it's replated to this: https://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg1240224.html
July 28, 201411 yr How many people in this thread have Android devices connect to their network? I think it's related.
July 28, 201411 yr I wonder -- what happens if you turn off every Android device in your home? Do the errors stop?
July 28, 201411 yr Author I actually forgot I believe I tested this before I started this thread, but it's possible I missed a device (as I have several). Would be curious to see anyone else try it. I know I turned off my wife's mac when testing.
July 29, 201411 yr any success with this issue? i also have android devices on my wireless network 2 phones 2 tablets any suggestions?
