JorgeB Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 In summary, it appears if your CPU supports it, BLAKE2 would be be the best option most recommend? Also there was some mention of using CORZ to verify the hashes produced... did anyone ever figure out if the BLAKE2 outputs were similar, or if they still use different variants (s)? I can answer this one, only MD5 checksums made by this plugin than can be verified by CORZ. Quote Link to comment

vanstinator Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Any chance you'll look in to using the dual parity setup to do some sort of verification and healing of file corruption? Quote Link to comment

archedraft Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Would it be possible to add notifications like how parity checks work ie ("FIP has started checking the integrity of your files" and "FIP has finished checking all disks and has found XX file modifications and XX file corruptions")? Thought I would bring this back up because I'm sure at the time you were very busy with the 6.2 release. I would also like to add the my monthly bunker cron did not start this month. Do you have any idea why it wouldn't start? also, It would be nice to be notified each month that bunker has started checking files just for peace of mind. Quote Link to comment
beardedpants Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Is there any obvious reason why scheduled integrity checking stopped working for me? I'm running the latest version, but this problem has existed for the past couple of versions. I wish I knew exactly when it stopped working, but I don't remember. My schedule is set to run weekly on Monday at 19:00. As far as I can tell, a scan is never even attempted. There are no entries for bunker in the syslog, good nor bad. An update on this, and for anyone having a similar issue: The scheduled scan is indeed running, just very quiet about it. I happened to be in the basement on Monday evening and noticed my disk access lights flashing (unusual, single user server). Then I remembered what day and time it was. I opened a telnet terminal to check top and sure enough, the bunker script was busy running. There was nothing in the syslog about the scan starting, and nothing on the GUI to indicate a scan was running. This box did have a red translucent box over it while the scan was running. Is that the indication a scheduled scan is running? Quote Link to comment

I ran it the next day (from when it is suppose to run) and it found a good amount of files that were corrupt. I am assuming that if it ran it should have given me the same file corruption report.

Sorry I missed this request earlier. Currently when notifications are enabled in the settings of file integrity, it will only produce a message when something unusual is found, in other words: checks without any corruptions (normal condition) are not reported. I can add a log entry + notification telling the start/stop times. Quote Link to comment

It was supposed to run last night and as far as I can tell it didn't run but there is nothing in the log to indicate anything either way. Quote Link to comment
bonienl Posted March 17, 2016 Author Share Posted March 17, 2016 New version 2016.03.17 is available with improvements and fixes. Users of the Dynamix File Integrity plugin are encouraged to upgrade to this version. Use the plugin manager to upgrade and see more details about the changes. After updating it is imperative to re-apply the settings. Quote Link to comment
John_M Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 I updated to the 2016.03.17 version yesterday and received this alert today. "Disk s"? Quote Link to comment
archedraft Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 I updated to the 2016.03.17 version yesterday and received this alert today. "Disk s"? 1. Received the same message last night. Shouldn't FIP automatically update the export file? 2. I scheduled an integrity check for last night and I didn't get any notifications that it ran. So either notifications are not working (which probably isn't the case because I am getting other notifications from FIP) or the cron job isn't running as scheduled. Is there anything from my config files that might help figure out why the check isn't running? Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 I updated to the 2016.03.17 version yesterday and received this alert today. "Disk s"? Sounds like it is picking up the Unassigned Devices mount point which is named "disks" and then parsing it like it was one of the disk#. Quote Link to comment

Sounds like it is picking up the Unassigned Devices mount point which is named "disks" and then parsing it like it was one of the disk#. Trurl, excellent thinking The plugin uses the statement /mnt/disk* which will include all numbered disks, but also anything else starting with disk . I'll make a correction. Ps. I am not running the Unassigned Devices plugin, hence didn't spot the issue. Quote Link to comment
bonienl Posted March 18, 2016 Author Share Posted March 18, 2016 New version 2016.03.18 2016.03.18a is available, which fixes the issue of data disk selection when the Unassigned Devices plugin is installed. Users are encouraged to upgrade to this version. Please re-apply settings to make the changes effective. Quote Link to comment
John_M Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Thanks all, that was quick! Shouldn't FIP automatically update the export file? I believe it should if you have "Save new hashing results to flash" enabled. I don't. Quote Link to comment
itimpi Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Thanks all, that was quick! Shouldn't FIP automatically update the export file? I believe it should if you have "Save new hashing results to flash" enabled. I don't. My reading of that option was that it wrote a new file including date in the name with the changes in it, not that it appended to the existing file. Could be wrong about that though.
