[SF8008] Movie list directory sort order

[ccs]

Is that DSM 7.0.1?

My recordings folder is on Volume 1 though

Yes, I included it the attachment.

As a matter of interest, what do you have Maximum NFS protocol: set to ??

NFSv3, does it need to be 4? (bearing in mind everything works fine in ViX 5.4).

I've finally found Storage Manager and all drives are Ext4.

I also have no sub directories for my shared drives in /media/autofs/ although timer recordings are still working to my network mount okay.

This is the debug when enabling timeshift to the network:

I've had it set to NFSv3 for ages, but 2 days ago, after wasting hours trying to get nfs mounts to work again, I changed it to v4 and they immediately started working again.

One box stopped working a few hours later, but today they're both ok. I'd expect v3 to be the correct setting as ViX appears to be using v3, and so avoids any re-negotiating.

Answers on a postcard.....

I went to the file on github and switched to raw and copied and pasted the whole lot to MovieList.py

To avoid pasting I always switch to raw and right click and save page as...

How did you "pasted the whole lot to MovieList.py"?

Opened MovieList.py in Notepad++ and CTRL A > DELETE then pasted the whole contents of the raw page.
Never thought of doing it your way. Will try it next time.

I have flashed ViX 6.0.022 with no settings backup.
I've added one of my network shares as fstab rather than autofs and the sub-folder now appears in /media/net/ and I can access the files on it.
It still won't let me add the share as a recording or timeshift location and says that the directory is not valid. Partition must be ext of nfs.
I can however set it as the default autotimer recording location and it does record to it.

[Willo3092]

I just ran Timeshift.py from ViX 5.4 through an online python 3 converter and that works.
It allows me to select the NAS as a timeshift location and I can see the timeshift files on the NAS. Rewinding live TV works.

Is it just a matter of comparing the 2 versions and seeing what is different or is it going to be totally different?

 

[birdman]

So why don't their NAS mounts show in "cat /proc/mounts"?

Because they aren't currently mounted.
autofs works by mounting it for you when you try to access it. It then tries to unmount it every 10 mins (default?) and doesn't worry if it fails - just means it's in use.
The object is to only have things mounted when they are in use, so as not to have too many mountpoints. The place I worked had (potentially) ~5000 automount points - you didn't (== couldn't) mount them all at the same time.
It worked OK.

 

[birdman]

So why don't their NAS mounts show in "cat /proc/mounts"?

The relevant thing is that "autofs" is not a valid file-system to record to, as it has no space. It just what the automount daemon controls to do actual mounting of real file-systems.
It should be "nfs" and "cifs".

 

[birdman]

Why are you mixing up spaces and tabs?

Because use of tabs is silly (what it represents is undefined).
Python standard is actually 4 spaces.

...I thought I'd got the NAS movielist open when I posted /proc/mounts earlier.

Anyway, now playing a recording....

[birdman]

Just guessing, maybe change nfs to nfsd ?

No. That's something completely different.

 

[birdman]

Actually this may be an issue depending on how the Synology is setup e.g. ext4 or btrfs file system. The latter doesn‘t support hardlinks which are needed by Timeshift. I guess its fine for Recording but ???

btrfs supports hardlinks.

I'm certain that everything is Ext4. Trouble is there is no Storage Manager in the latest firmware and I cant find out where it would tell me.

Can you login to a command line there?
If so, type:

 df -T

 

[Willo3092]

It does say the Mount Type is a CIFS share.

 

[birdman]

I also have no sub directories for my shared drives in /media/autofs/ although timer recordings are still working to my network mount okay.

Unless you have ghosting configured they only appear as required (and disappear when not).

 

[Willo3092]

If so, type:

 df -T

I did actually find the Storage Manager and all drives are Ext4

 

[birdman]

I've had it set to NFSv3 for ages, but 2 days ago, after wasting hours trying to get nfs mounts to work again, I changed it to v4 and they immediately started working again.

nfsv4 added id mapping between domains. Not really needed in this set-up.

v6 does a file-system type check.
But if the location isn't isn't yet mounted (because it will be automounted) it might show up as an invalid filesystem?
