I posted about this problem on Aug 5 Newsgroups: gmane.os.openindiana.general From: Harry Putnam <rea...@newsguy.com> Subject: Time-slider has stopped working To: openindiana-discuss@openindiana.org Date: Sat, 05 Aug 2017 11:07:12 -0400 (1 week, 5 days, 22 hours ago) Message-ID: <871soqf3z3....@local.lan>
But did not receive any suggestions for troubleshooting. I've been checking since then and have discovered it apparently works intermittently. but only a few snapshots are taken. I'm pretty sure that was following a reboot and time-slider worked for a short time. The reboot was not related to timeslider investigation and I didn't think to immediately check how timeslider was performing. But did notice the Timeslider icon in upper right of Mate desktop quit flashing, but then started up again after a .5 hr or so. But then in some locations I see a regular (the expected) progression of snaps. I'd really really like to get it working... after all it is one of the big plus's for running OI/hipster. Checking time-slider log I see dozens of lines like these, but for some unfathomable reason the lines are not dated so not able to pinpoint when this happens: Check time-slider log I see dozens of lines like these, but for some unfathomable reason the lines the log lines are not dated so not able to pinpoint when this occurs, other than from the date in snapshot filename. But still cannot tell what is really going on. I see there are regular consecutive time-slider created logs at /.zfs/snapshot/* But not in many other locations... whereas time-slider is configured for `ALL' How can I trouble shoot this? ------- ------- ---=--- ------- ------- Example logs /var/svc/log/application-time-slider:default.log cannot create snapshot 'rpool/ROOT/openindiana-5@zfs-auto-snap_frequent-2017-08-18-06h22': dataset already exists cannot create snapshot 'rpool/ROOT/openindiana-2@zfs-auto-snap_frequent-2017-08-18-06h22': dataset already exists cannot create snapshot 'rpool/ROOT/openindiana-8@zfs-auto-snap_frequent-2017-08-18-06h22': dataset already exists cannot create snapshot 'rpool/ROOT/openindiana-10@zfs-auto-snap_frequent-2017-08-18-06h22': dataset already exists cannot create snapshot 'rpool/ROOT/openindiana-6@zfs-auto-snap_frequent-2017-08-18-06h22': dataset already exists cannot create snapshot 'rpool/ROOT/openindiana-1@zfs-auto-snap_frequent-2017-08-18-06h22': dataset already exists cannot create snapshot 'rpool/ROOT/openindiana@zfs-auto-snap_frequent-2017-08-18-06h22': dataset already exists cannot create snapshot 'rpool/ROOT/openindiana-9@zfs-auto-snap_frequent-2017-08-18-06h22': dataset already exists cannot create snapshot 'rpool/ROOT/openindiana-3@zfs-auto-snap_frequent-2017-08-18-06h22': dataset already exists cannot create snapshot 'rpool/ROOT/openindiana-4@zfs-auto-snap_frequent-2017-08-18-06h22': dataset already exists _______________________________________________ openindiana-discuss mailing list openindiana-discuss@openindiana.org https://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
