SafePoint Problems

I have a USB drive connected to my router to create a safepoint backup. It starts the process but I get a few getstatus errors and I click OK. In SSH I can still see the  rsync processes running and its populating the USB drive. But when I login to the UI and click the share point screen it shows an old in-progress screen with only 3% complete, yet the drive already has more than 30GB copied (total on MBL is 148GB).

Here’s the last few entries from /var/log/wdnas.log

These errors corralate to the times I access the safepoint in the UI.

Fixed all my problems.

I had three other instances where a safepoint create failed and left the info on the NAS. Here’s what I did in ssh:

  1. ran mount to find the failed mount points, then ran umount to delete them from the mtab

  2. deleted the failed safepoints in /DataVolume/cache/WDPROT/WDSAFE/safepts

Then in the webUI under Safepoint I was able to update the failed safepoint (which did complete a full rsync backup). Now all is working well. Set auto-enable and hopefully this will work.

Hope this helps others.
