i2psnark does not start with external hard drive (OSX)
Reported by:xixiOwned by:zzz Priority: minor Milestone:
Component: apps/i2psnark Version: 0.9.12 Keywords: mac Cc: Zlatin Balevsky Parent Tickets:
Sensitive: no
Description
Problem: i2psnark fails to startup when user has specified an external hard drive as the save location for torrents (i2psnark.dir in i2psnark.config). User receives HTTP 503 Service Unavailable error. i2psnark is not grabbing mount point information correctly.
i2p version 0.9.12-0
OS version OSX Mountain Lion
Problem Description:
-
User starts i2psnark for the first time, its i2psnark.dir=i2psnark (the default).
-
User sets an external hard drive as the torrent save location, i2psnark operates normally.
-
User shuts down i2p and restarts the router.
-
i2psnark will not load.
Problem Solution:
-
i2psnark is not saving the mount point for the external hard drive correctly in i2psnark.config
-
Example: i2psnark saves /Volumes/This? and That/torrents as my i2psnark.dir
-
i2psnark works normally until i2p router restart
-
i2psnark fails to start
-
editing i2psnark.config to i2psnark.dir=/Volumes/This? and That 1/torrents works
-
the correct mount point is given by running Disk Utility and selecting the external hard drive, which tells you the mount point
Another fix - changing back to a local directory (i2psnark.dir=i2psnark, for example) works and i2psnark launches after router restart.
No hotfixes (changes to i2psnark.config without restarting i2p router) were attempted. These might work, and speed up debugging time.
