Problem With --going Command

[vargtas]

I just tried upgrading greyhole to 0.6.22-1 and now I get the following messages in the greyhole.log:

Aug 23 23:45:51 6 daemon: Greyhole (version 0.6.22) daemon started.
Aug 23 23:45:51 7 daemon: Loading graveyard backup directories...
Aug 23 23:45:51 7 daemon: Missing some directories. Need 2, currently have 0. Will select more...
Aug 23 23:45:51 7 daemon: Randomly picked /var/hda/files/drives/sdh1/gh/.gh_graveyard_backup
Aug 23 23:45:51 7 daemon: Randomly picked /var/hda/files/drives/sdh1/gh/.gh_graveyard_backup
Aug 23 23:45:51 7 daemon: Randomly picked /var/hda/files/drives/sdd1/gh/.gh_graveyard_backup
Aug 23 23:45:51 2 daemon: Can't insert new settings for graveyard_backup_directory: near "ON": syntax error

The daemon then shuts down and gets restartet again by the watchdog and the same messages appear over and over again.

Any clues what the cause is?

(Posted in this thread because I tried this because of the same problem with the --going command)

My bad! This other change was introduced earlier, and is incompatible with SQLite, which is what Amahi uses for Greyhole.

I fixed it in 0.6.23 (links updated in previous post):

Code: Select all

rpm -Uvh http://greyhole.pommepause.com/releases/hda-greyhole-0.6.23-1.x86_64.rpm rpm -Uvh http://greyhole.pommepause.com/releases/hda-greyhole-0.6.23-1.i386.rpm

Your latest fix did the job. Now my system is up and running again.
Thank you very much

Hi,

I updated greyhole to 0.6.23, unchecked then rechecked my sdb1 drive in amahi, ran --fsck, then ran the --going command but still don't seem to be having much luck. The files on my sdb1 drive have not been moved (as far as I can tell) to the other drives.

I have zipped my log file and sent it through in case it will help.

vargtas: did --going work for you ?

bradwebber: I'd need access to your HDA to help you further.
Create me a user in Amahi, and either forward a random public port to your HDA port 22, or setup the VPN.
You can pm me the details.
I'd also need my user to have sudo access, to be able to restart the Greyhole service.

With access to bradwebber HDA, I was able to resolve the issue.

Fixed RPMs:

Code: Select all

rpm -Uvh http://greyhole.pommepause.com/releases/hda-greyhole-0.6.24-1.x86_64.rpm rpm -Uvh http://greyhole.pommepause.com/releases/hda-greyhole-0.6.24-1.i386.rpm

Sorry for the mess!

bradwebber: I didn't run --going on your HDA, I'll let you do it and confirm it worked.

Hi,

I did a quick --fsck (not sure if it was required or not) then ran --going and it is all looking really good. I took a quick look at the greyhole.log as well and couldn't spot anything out of the ordinary.

It is going to take an hour or two for the operation to complete because there is about 200GB to move off the disk. I'll jump back on tomorrow after work and confirm that everything ran as expected.

A huge thanks Guillaume, you're a legend.

Just a quick note to let everyone know that everything seems to be running perfectly with the --going command.

Cheers.
