Couldn't watch /mnt/disk5: No such file or directory

[Walter S]

fount this in my syslog,  and can't figure out why its there.  I'm not using a disk5.  I looked everywhere and couldn't find any reference to disk5. 

 "Jan  2 15:31:23 Server inotifywait[10968]: Couldn't watch /mnt/disk5: No such file or directory'

Any suggestions would be appreciated, or should I not worry about it?

 

 

Happy Holidays!!

BTW, always post diagnostics.  Much easier for us to look things up.

 

It's probably coming from dynamix file integrity where it's looking for a disk 5, but since you don't have one, it's failing (Probably wasn't written to support gaps in the installed drives)

Thanks Squid, I put the Diag file above,  Is the dynamix file integrity app worth using in your opinion?  I do leave gaps in my array (for future expansion) Should I avoid doing this if it causes problems?

[Squid]

I personally don't see the point as you can always use include / excludes to confine shares to certain disks.  But, in and by itself gaps won't cause any problems.  But, if you do rearrange, you will have to rebuild parity

[Walter S]

I understand, Thanks. 

with out causing any ill felling with the author, do you use "dynamix file integrity"? 

[Squid]

No.  IMO "BitRot" is already handled by the massive amounts of error checking that any given hard drive already does.

Thanks for the info Squid.  I try to keep my server simple.
