FSCK defaulting to --if-config-changed

[adavidm]

Hi,

as the subject says really, I cannot run an fsck as greyhole is assuming the option --if-config-changed is set even though i am not specifying it. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

David

Hi David,

After reading your post, I guess you already tried to run it manually but it runs fine at my HDA, although i'm still on 0.8.3.1. Could be this has changed but that seems somewhat unlikely. Although '--if config-changed' is the default (instead of running every night at midnight), you can still run an '--fsck' anytime you like. In a terminal, as 'root', just enter greyhole --fsck [--dir=/path/to a specific share]. You can get the options for greyhole by just entering 'greyhole' without any options.

I can't see how this could happen. I checked the code, and everything about that seems fine.

Try this: wait for /var/log/greyhole.log to say "Sleeping..."
On the command line, as root:

Code: Select all

greyhole --fsck --dir=/var/hda/files/movies/

Then look again in greyhole.log (tail /var/log/greyhole.log) to see what it says.

If something doesn't look right, please reply here, and copy-paste what you have in your Terminal (the command you executed and the tail etc.)

Sorry about this. There was a power failure during the night and, after starting back up, the problem has gone. I was specifying individual directories as you suggested and was getting the same result.

If the problem comes back I will take copies of the logs. I was wondering if two copies of greyhole might have been running at the same time or something, but I can't go back and check 'ps' now.

Thanks for both of your attempts to assist

Guillaume,

This problem has come back, i'm afraid. running:

greyhole --fsck --dir /var/hda/files/movies

shows the following in the log:

Feb 08 21:20:18 7 sleep: Nothing to do... Sleeping.
Feb 08 21:20:24 6 fsck: Optimizing MySQL tables...
Feb 08 21:20:28 7 fsck: Now working on task ID 35840: fsck /var/hda/files/movies//
Feb 08 21:20:28 6 fsck: Skipping fsck; --if-conf-changed was specified, and the configuration file didn't change since the last fsck.
Feb 08 21:20:28 7 sleep: Nothing to do... Sleeping.

I suspect a reboot will cure this again but am willing to leave it like that if you have any tests you would like running?

What does that return, on the command line ("fsck of ..."):

Code: Select all

greyhole --fsck --dir /var/hda/files/movies

Try those:

Code: Select all

service greyhole stop greyhole --fsck --dir=/var/hda/files/movies greyhole -f -d /var/hda/files/movies greyhole --fsck -d /var/hda/files/movies greyhole -f --dir=/var/hda/files/movies greyhole -f --dir /var/hda/files/movies mysql -ugreyhole -pgreyhole -e "select * from tasks where action = 'fsck'" greyhole service greyhole restart

The mysql command should tell us which one of the above commands added the if-conf-changed, and which didn't.
I'm guessing the code that parses the command-line options doesn't like you or something... I can't reproduce your issue here.

Sorry, have been away for a few days.

It's behaving itself again now (had to reboot for something else). I will reply again with your suggested commands if it happens again.

not the first time, .

I had this exact issue in 0.8.3-2 and 0.9.0-1.

Upgraded to 0.9.1-1 tonight and it's gone. --fsck works as it's supposed to with no mention of --if-config-changed. Woot!!

Thanks for all the hard work and great support, gboudreau!!!
