March 1, 20197 yr I uninstalled this plugin, but today is the day I had it scheduled to run (the first of the month) and my server is going crazy, so I highly suspect it's still running. I found this in my system log today: Mar 1 05:44:39 Tower inotifywait[5734]: Failed to watch /mnt/disk4; upper limit on inotify watches reached! Mar 1 05:44:39 Tower inotifywait[5734]: Please increase the amount of inotify watches allowed per user via `/proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_watches'. Does that mean it is in fact running? If so, how do I disable it? Do I need to install it again and clear the schedule or something?

March 6, 20197 yr I ran File Integrity today. Long story short, power went down today and I want to see if that caused file corruption. If it got the hashes from when the array was started earlier this morning, then those hashes are useless. Hashes should be from yesterday. It all went well but I want to know what date it got the hashes are from? Also PS. I'm still confused what's the difference between build and export. Can someone ELI5? Thanks a lot.
March 6, 20197 yr As I understand it the hashes are stored in the files metadata within the file system when the hashes are built. The export copies this information to an external file.
March 28, 20197 yr Greetings .. Using the File Integrity plugin on 6.6.7 Impressive work.. Have been doing a fair amount of testing to try and get it to fail / see where it misses stuff. E.g. Parity check running, 6 data drives monitored, parallel transfer of 5GB files from ramdisk to each of the monitored disks. Everything passed, as said before: Impressive. There are a number of changes / additions I would like to see, but realise that they would only apply to my use-case, and it would not make sense to ask for them to be implemented. There are two possible changes that I would ask for that would / could be of benefit to the community as a whole (possibly). 1. An option to have the log files directory elsewhere (cache etc.) as I am uncomfortable with such potentially frequently changed files stored on the flash drive, I suspect there will be some who will opine that is nothing to worry about (wear leveling, flash drives are better quality nowadays etc. etc.), but if I am using the plugin as an aid to monitor / reduce the effects of bit-rot / failure then it makes sense to avoid the relatively fragile flash drive (in my opinion). 2. A means of triggering / running a script when processing has completed, enabling reliable post-processing. In my case I would use that script to perform the unique processing for my use-case. I hope you can consider this request. If only one can be implemented, please can it be option 2 (end-of-processing script triggering). Cheers..
April 4, 20197 yr I'm see the following error in my log, but no reference to any bad files. BLAKE2 hash key mismatch, is corrupted This was the only entry in the log. Is there somewhere else I need to check? Also, if we do see errors, do we need to reformat the file or just recopy the indicated files? I do see errors on a couple of the other disks with file names indicated. Thanks in advance! Edited April 4, 20197 yr by jeffreywhunter
April 12, 20197 yr So, this plugins shows some errors for some files. What are next steps? Can that plugin restore these files? Where i can see which files are wrong? I just got a red notice about some file were corrupt. Edited April 12, 20197 yr by nuhll

April 13, 20197 yr 12 hours ago, nuhll said: Where i can see which files are bad? In the syslog. If you enable notifications and have e-mail notification set up you also get a list of all the files by mail. And the files aren't necessarily "bad", the files could have just been updated and thus changed the hash. So it's a good idea to exclude files that gets updated a lot by various apps, like .nfo files.
May 26, 20197 yr How does one exclude files based on extension? I.e. *.log *.nfo *.tgz (the box in the config form doesn't say anything about what the syntax should be) In rsync I often use --min-size=1 --no-specials --no-devices --no-links is there a way to also exclude these from the file integrity checks?

June 6, 20197 yr Is there anything to be concerned about here? Anything I should do SHA256 hash key mismatch (updated), /mnt/disk2/domains/Ubuntu/vdisk1.img was modified SHA256 hash key mismatch (updated), /mnt/disk2/domains/UnR-Win-10/vdisk1.img was modified SHA256 hash key mismatch (updated), /mnt/disk1/back_ups/libvert_back_up/libvirt.img was modified SHA256 hash key mismatch (updated), /mnt/disk1/system/docker/docker.img was modified SHA256 hash key mismatch (updated), /mnt/disk1/system/libvirt/libvirt.img was modified SHA256 hash key mismatch (updated), /mnt/disk1/system/libvirt/libvirt.img was modified

June 8, 20197 yr Dont know if this has been asked before, but would it be possible to set the location of the export, logs, and saved folders? (mainly the export folder). I dont like the idea of having the entire list of files/hashes stored in plain text on the flash drive. I'd much rather have the option to store it somewhere on my encrypted cache/array and just exclude it. I thought I could maybe just create a folder symlink for those folders, but you can't create symlinks on a FAT32 formatted (flash) drive.

I thought I could maybe just create a folder symlink for those folders, but you can't create symlinks on a FAT32 formatted (flash) drive. Well, looking through the source, I guess I could just make some wrapper scripts around the bunker script for exporting hash files and running the verification checks. Seems like a feasible workaround.
June 11, 20197 yr I could use another set of eyes on this issue: Integrity check ran last night and created an bad.log export. Listed below is the exact message: BLAKE2 hash key mismatch, is corrupted BLAKE2 hash key mismatch, is corrupted BLAKE2 hash key mismatch, is corrupted No path or file name to reference. I checked the SysLog and the following messages are logged: Jun 10 23:34:47 Tower bunker: error: BLAKE2 hash key mismatch, is corrupted Jun 10 23:50:56 Tower bunker: error: BLAKE2 hash key mismatch, is corrupted Jun 11 03:47:27 Tower bunker: error: BLAKE2 hash key mismatch, is corrupted Apparently there are 3 files that require attention, but no reference to the specific files. Does anyone have any idea how I can proceed? Thanks
June 11, 20197 yr I seem to get a hash key mismatch on every file which is a hard link (at the User Share level) to another file in the same User Share. Is this expected behaviour? Is there anything I can do to avoid getting this error? The links are in a sub-folder of a user share - do I have to use the Custom folder option to exclude the sub-folders containing these hard links. If so can I have a folder name of the form FILMS/!3D.

You could make a selective "check" per disk and try to pinpoint the file(s).
