unRAID Server Release 4.5.3 Available

[bburns]

So has the dupe file problem or the missing file problem been fixed yet? I am still seeing the "missing" files periodically. The dupe file problem occurs much less frequently, so I don't think they are related. BTW I am running 4.5.1...should I move back to an earlier release?

 

Thanks,

B2

 

Here is an update. I removed all duplicate files (the ones found by Unmenu's dupe file page and what was being noted in the logfile). I am still seeing the no file problem. Here is the log file from the last time it happened. Note that prior to the point that I snipped the log there were many many messages about "Too many open files". When I stopped the array, Disk 1 would not unmount. Required a power cycle to recover.

I did not post a syslog file nor do I recall seeing DUPLICATE_* warnings at the time. But thanks for the tip on what to look for.  I went and looked at my previous syslog and did see shfs: dunplicate object: messages. So how do dupe files occur? I assume it does not matter which copy is deleted? Also I am pretty sure that the files that are duped existed prior to my upgrade to 4.5.1. What is the best way to find all the duplicate files?

 

bburns, if I recall correctly, the syslog you posted showed a ton of DUPLICATE DIRECTORY or DUPLICATE FILE warnings. You need to fix those first before you go on about files disappearing. I suspect that is your problem.

 

 

Typically, if a disk will not un-mount it is currently "busy"

 

It could be busy because it is the "current directory" for a process.  (You had "cd'd" there before starting a program that is still running) Or you might have logged in and changed directory to it  ("cd /mnt/disk1" will make disk1 busy since it is your current directory)

 

A disk can also be busy if a file on it is open for reading or writing.  (If the mover is moving a file onto it from the cache drive it will be busy)

 

A disk can also be busy if a directory on it has been used as a mount point for another file-system.

bburns, at this point it looks like the problem is strictly isolated to your system.

You should upgrade to 4.5.4 and try to make the problem happen again.  Then create a post along with a syslog in the 4.5.4 announcement thread.

So another clue to my problem: I just had the disappearing files again, I looked at the syslog and noticed a bunch of "Too many files open" messages. The files that were open were picture files that the Win 7 Media Center opens as a screen saver. Any clue on how to fix that as my family really loves the screen saver, I don't think the option is to disable the screen saver

Post the syslog.  The exact messages and surrounding messages all are clues for analysis.
