Server did not start after update on FreeNAS

Beta Community DVR Beta
#1

I just noticed DVR features were missing from the app. I checked and saw the plugin was not running on FreeNAS. Looking at the log it appears that it shut down for an upgrade but did not start up again right away. The ‘Starting Channels’ entry in the log was when I turned the plugin back on manually.

Thanks for reporting! We’ve seen this issue intermittently on FreeNAS and haven’t pinned down exactly what’s happening.

#3

Same issue. Plugin has shut down the last 2 nights.

#4

Any updates on this? I came home from work and the plugin was off again.

I checked and it updated to the most recent version today and must not have restarted.

#5

I’ve been trying to reproduce this in a FreeBSD virtual machine but have not had any luck.

Some google searching found a similar issue that I think might be related, so I’m going to try a fix to see if it helps.

#6

Thanks - It happened to me yesterday and again this morning. Hoping the potential fix does it!

#7

Thanks for the update. As always I appreciate the efforts.

#8

There was a potential fix in 2017.01.25.0441, so hopefully the next upgrade works as expected.

If not, let me know and I have another idea I can try.

#9

Thank you for the continued effort on this item.

Just tested a forced upgrade process and (unfortunately) received an “Illegal instruction” message when channels-dvr attempted to restart.

jexec [jail]
service channels_dvr onestop
cd channels-dvr/data

Illegal instruction
#10

Thanks for testing, but the fix is in 2017.01.25.0441 so we’ll only be able to tell if its working on the next update.

#11

I apologize. Thanks for the update. I’ll test again in the next update :slight_smile:

#12

When I checked this AM the plugin was off again, but it did upgrade to 2017.01.25.0441 version. So hopefully when I wake up tomorrow it will remain running!

#13

Just pushed out another build. Let me know if auto-upgrade works this time or not.

#14

Unfortunately, the auto-upgrade process wasn’t successful for my FreeNAS system.

Damn!

I wish it would coredump or something so we could more information on what’s causing the Illegal Instruction.

There’s another building coming tonight which will have the same issue. I will try the other fix I had in mind on Monday.

My system updated and restarted successfully twice tonight.

After the most recent update the plugin has been fine for 3 days now!

#18

@pAvem3nt I wonder why you still have the error but others aren’t seeing it anymore. Can you post your FreeNAS version and the output of uname -a so we can compare to others?

Might be its still happening but its less intermittent now.
