[Plugin] unbalanced


Recommended Posts

... if I figure out the direct cause i'll post again.

 

I mentioned browsers because the app is using some features that require browser support.

 

I've mostly baked support directly into the app, but it seems some browsers are more finicky about it :)

 

Generally, Chrome has been the most compliant, that's why I suggested to use it.

 

But, if it's still not working for you, can you try Chrome, open the dev tools and see what, if any, errors are showing up in the console ?

 

It was definitely my AV (NOD32) causing it, adding the unRAID server to it's exclude list, and so far no issues for over a day.

Hi...Very nice Plugin. But sorry to say I come here looking for help.

 

I did one test move of a TV show and all went wonderfully.  So I then said, ok, lets so some more and selected a number of shows I needed to move from DISK 1 as it was getting full. (Using High-water Mark so no idea why UnRaid is putting new shows on DISK 1 when it is 87% full compared to all other disks at 75%.)

 

Any way...I seem to get a permissions error.

 

 

Which totally makes no sense to me to have such an error.

 

Thanks

 

David

 

Hi David, in the log, before the lines that you posted, there are the calculate lines which show linux permissions.

 

Can you post them here or send a pm if you like ?

 

Hi...

 

I would like to...but now I no longer seem to have a log after I rebooted yesterday to try to fix the above.  I ran the move again, had the same error, went to the log directory, and nothing was there.

Is this plugin still in development? Will we see some updates? Just a question...

 

Zonediver, yes I have an update planned, the idea is to provide custom rsync params and add some logging.

 

I'm working on another project right now, so I'm a bit tied up in terms of time.

I used this plugin to move data off a drive to free it up for a second parity disk for 6.2.  Worked well, but found one minor issue.  When a source share is empty, it fails and says there is not enough free space on the destination.  With the way unraid spreads shares across disks, this could be a common issue.  An empty source should be ignored.

Yes, I have the same thing as mentioned above. I was asked for my log, but after restarting the server to try to solve this, I had no more logs even show up.

 

My guess is this is some sort of permissions issue or user account issue that something was stored under. Be it root or nobody.

I have installed the unBALANCE plugin from: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jbrodriguez/unraid/master/plugins/unbalance.plg

 

Once installed it shows in Plugins list as up-to-date (version 1.4.0)

 

When I click on the logo it takes me to http://<unraidIP>/Settings/unbalance which is blank except the unRAID menu up the top.

 

I tried http://<unraidIP>:6237 and that port doesn't seem to be open either.

 

Tried both of the above after a reboot to no avail.

 

I am running two unRAID 6.1.9 boxes and the same is happening on both.

 

Files:

* boot\config\plugins\unbalance\unbalance.cfg

>SERVICE="disable"

>PORT="6237"

>RUNAS="nobody"

 

* boot\config\plugins\unbalance\unbalance-1.4.0.tgz

 

Any ideas jbrodriguez?  :-[

Thanks dlandon, I will look into it.

Can someone explain why this happens every time I invoke a move. See attachment.

 

It calculates and does a dry run happily.

 

Hi rmeaux, there have been previous reports about issues with Apple files (such as your iTunes library).

 

If you have your unbalance log (/boot/logs/unbalance.log), pls send them over (pm if you want).

Hi ivanavich, does it happen with any other plugin or just unBALANCE ?

 

Can you try with another browser, just to make sure ?

Hi jbrod

 

The page is blank in all browsers [ie/chrome]

 

Preclear Disks/Community Applications work fine :)

 

Not sure what the problem might be.

Can you install it via the community app?

 

- Go to the Apps tab

- Click on the Plugins button (the last one)

- Look for unBALANCE

- Click Install

 

If that doesn't work either, can you check if there are any errors in the Chrome console (click on View > Developer > Javascript console) ?

Ad blocker installed?  Fix Common Problems plugin should hopefully detect it and tell you to whitelist your server

Doesn't the service have to be enabled to run unbalance?

 

SERVICE="enable"

Good Morning jbrodriguez.

 

I just wanted to let you know that I was able to successfully use unBALANCE for the first time. I'm sure mine was a case of:

 

- Handle better the case where source share/folder is empty or does not exist

 

I just wanted to say thanks, and to let you know that I appreciate the work that you have done.  :)

Something went wrong when I was using this today.  I was moving a bunch of directories that contained some tv shows from one disk to another but the destination disk is now showing files of the original shows name and not directories.  This happened for all of the directories of tv shows that I moved.  I assume there is nothing I can do to undo the damage?  Could it have something to do with the fact that the shows were spread out over two disks and I was consolidating them onto one?

Hi Ryland, did you change any rsync params ? Is the log showing anything unusual ?

No sure if this helps however console shows:

 

Unraid login: /bin/bash: line 3: /usr/local/emhttp/pluginsunbalance/scripts/stop: No such file or directory

 

There's a slash missing /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/unbalance/scripts/stop

 

If you just copy/pasted, it's strange that it would be missing.

 

Not sure either why it's unraid login the one complaining.
