Hi guys,

 

I just saw that I am getting some error messages from avahi, anyone has any tips for me?

I am running 6.2.0-rc3 with a Pro license. Thanks much in advance.

 

Dec 18 21:10:32 tower root: Starting Avahi mDNS/DNS-SD Daemon:  /usr/sbin/avahi-daemon -D

Dec 18 21:10:32 tower avahi-daemon[25232]: Failed to find user 'avahi'.

Dec 18 21:10:52 tower root: Timeout reached while wating for return value

Dec 18 21:10:52 tower root: Could not receive return value from daemon process.

Dec 18 21:10:52 tower avahi-dnsconfd[25322]: Failed to connect to the daemon. This probably means that you

Dec 18 21:10:52 tower avahi-dnsconfd[25322]: didn't start avahi-daemon before avahi-dnsconfd.

Update to 6.2.4 would be the first thing to do

This rings a bell. The entry for the user 'avahi' was missing from the /etc/passwd file.

 

I'll post a link if I can find it.

 

EDIT: Found it, in the FAQ: https://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=48508.msg515980#msg515980

Thanks, John!

My apologies if adding to this thread is inappropriate, but I'm running into a similar problem as OP. I'm running 3.3 pro license, with avahi issues. I do have the correct avahi entries in my passwd and shadow files. Instead, I seem to be getting a permissions problem.

 

In my log, this cycle appears every 2-3 minutes:

My pool of two cache drives now appear as unassigned when I boot. I must stop the array, assign the cache drives and restart the array each time. This is probably unrelated to the issue above, but the problems did appear simultaneously so I thought it may be pertinent.

 

Thanks.

Unrelated and I can't help with the avahi errors, but for the pool see this FAQ entry:

 

 

Thanks johnnie.black. They are unrelated.

 

I had used Chrome to assign the cache drives. I just rebooted and the drives came up unassigned again. I assigned them in Safari, restarted the array, and the cache drives are back on their own.

 

Still am getting those avahi errors though

@madaroda Did you ever get the avahi errors fixed?
