@dlandon & @johnnie.black   Thanks for the help... For some reason it seems to have settled... I removed my Games folder to a separate share that is excluded and now it seems to sleep calmly... I have other issues to sort now

I have issue when checking "Open Files" I see the utility "find" busy. It's keep my drive awake. When I kill the process it's returning. Any idea?

 

When I start the unRAID server"Find" is immediately active. So only the array is up and no Docker or VM's.

It's from dynamic cache dirs. It gets stopped when the array stops

Thanks for reply!

 

It was keeping my HDD 10 for days awake. It was searching in same directories over and over again. I delete these directories and now the issue is gone. It was almost if it was in a loop.

That's what cache dirs does. It's a Continuous loop of find of all the directories you include in its settings.

There ar circumstances where it can keep drives spun up, mainly if you have it included your Plex appdata for example, because the millions of files in appdata will quickly flush the cached inodes for all the other folders, and find will have to spin up the drives to get the info.

Generally the only included folders would be stuff like movies or TV or music

Is it possible to get this plugin to show which users are accessing what files in shares? Or is this a feature on another plugin that I have no idea about.

Dynamix streams.   They're similar at a high level, but the streams plugin is more limited in that it only shows what is actually streaming over the network whereas this plugin shows everything.

I am re-evaluating my development efforts with Unraid and need to cut back on some plugins that are not providing core functionality in Unraid.  This plugin will be deprecated starting with Unraid 6.9.  This plugin does not provide enough of an enhancement to the Unraid OS and I don't have the time to continue development efforts.  If it's deemed to be a necessary part of Unraid, LT should include the functionality.

Darn, that's a shame to hear, but THANK YOU for providing it and keeping it up to date and working this long! It's very much appreciated.

 

I just saw the update making 6.8.9 the max version. I still find this really helps when compared to the Active Streams plugin because it lists working directories held open by various SSH sessions, so I can easily track those down and finish what I'm doing when the server is failing to unmount user shares. 

What's the difficulty in porting this  to 6.9? I may be interested in taking over maintenance if you're no longer able, and background on the hurdles would really help

I believe the plugin still basically works as-is

Got it, thanks. Well if @dlandon wants to retire and hand over control, I can fork it, remove the 6.8.9 max version, and keep supporting it from 6.8 onwards (with the CA XML as well). I'd prefer to wait for sign-off before proceeding down that path though

It appears that @dlandon has un-deprecated the Open Files plugin for Unraid 6.9 https://github.com/dlandon/open.files/commit/8afb5a773896f0e351076b35fd338d10642e5e55 🤣 so no fork is needed. Happy to step in in the future though!

Anyone else having issues updating this plugin?

What kind of issues are you having?

Sorry, probably should have included that.

 

plugin: updating: open.files.plg
plugin: run failed: /bin/bash retval: 2

No issues with any other plugins. What can I look for if the issue is on my end?

 

EDIT: uninstall/reinstall fixed it. I was just trying to see if it was something outside my setup. Doesn't seem that it was.

 

Thanks

Found this plugin recently, would have saved my bacon many times over if I had of found it years ago.

This won't install for me. Just nothing happens.

Show a screen shot when you are trying to install the open files plugin.  I don't see anything in the log that helps.

It's literally the install pop up box but blank. I rebooted and it worked now though.

if I click the refresh button in the plugin page I lose the GUI and end up having to reboot.  Tried uninstall and reinstall but same issue. running 6.12.6

After that hppens, go to the Tools->PHP Settings and see if there are any php errors.

I'm experiencing an issue with Open Files on one of my unRAID servers. I get the following error:

 

 

Initially syslog was showing errors about not enough user watches so I went into Tip & Tweaks and doubled them, as well as doubling max user instances. So 1048576 for watches and 256 for instances. That's resolved the inotify errors that were appearing in syslog.

 

I just did some more testing and Open Files is working fine after a reboot before the array is started. Once the array is started it also works. But as soon as I enable the Docker service, Open Files errors out again with the same message as shown in the screenshot. I've also gone into Tools --> PHP Settings and enabled logging for everything. Open Files is still not working but I'm not seeing any messages in the PHP logs except this:

 

[26-Feb-2024 14:04:42 America/Denver] PHP Warning:  Undefined variable $display in /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/ipmi/include/ipmi_helpers.php on line 8

[26-Feb-2024 14:05:01 America/Denver] PHP Warning:  Undefined variable $display in /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/ipmi/include/ipmi_helpers.php on line 8

 

If I disable the Docker service, Open Files runs fine. I've also tried starting one container at a time, but no matter which container I try, Open Files no longer works when the container is started. There's nothing showing in syslog or the PHP logs except the errors in the code block above, which are still repeating at about 10 second intervals.

 

Any ideas of something else to try? Thanks!
