rsd Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 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 Quote Link to comment
warwon Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 thats odd I am getting the same thing since yesterday Quote Link to comment
rsd Posted July 4, 2014 Author Share Posted July 4, 2014 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 :>$i ;done Quote Link to comment
thegizzard Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 I have the same error. ill turn mine off too. Quote Link to comment
Necrotic Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 I guess I should've scanned further down before I posted, I am getting the same issue. Quote Link to comment
sadkisson Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Is this error related? I see this error several times in my log. avahi-daemon[1764]: Received packet from invalid interface. Quote Link to comment
David Bott Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 I have the same error, but I want to use TimeMachine so I do not want to turn it off as mentioned above. Any idea what it is? Over and over... Jul 23 14:48:05 Server avahi-daemon[1455]: server.c: Packet too short or invalid while reading known answer record. (Maybe a UTF-8 problem?) Jul 23 14:48:37 Server last message repeated 2 times Jul 23 14:49:42 Server last message repeated 4 times Jul 23 14:50:46 Server last message repeated 4 times Jul 23 14:51:50 Server last message repeated 4 times Jul 23 14:52:54 Server last message repeated 4 times Jul 23 14:53:58 Server last message repeated 4 times Jul 23 14:55:02 Server last message repeated 4 times BTW, I added "for i in /etc/rc.d/rc.avahi* ;do :>$i ;done" to the end of my GO file and rebooted. It did not stop the error. Thanks Quote Link to comment
burnaby_boy Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 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? Quote Link to comment
rsd Posted July 28, 2014 Author Share Posted July 28, 2014 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? Quote Link to comment
WizADSL Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Maybe it's replated to this: https://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg1240224.html Quote Link to comment
sincero Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 How many people in this thread have Android devices connect to their network? I think it's related. Quote Link to comment
sincero Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 I wonder -- what happens if you turn off every Android device in your home? Do the errors stop? Quote Link to comment
rsd Posted July 28, 2014 Author Share Posted July 28, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment
David Bott Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Two Samsung S4 here. So count me in with having two Android items on the net. Quote Link to comment
thegizzard Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 I got androids all over the place and 3 chromecasts. Quote Link to comment
