Jackrats 4 Posted November 17, 2014 Posted November 17, 2014 Hi, just installed on a fresh install of Ubuntu LTS 14.04 over the weekend. Thanks for the Linux support, I loathed the idea of installing a Windows VM just to run one server application. One problem I've noticed however: After rebooting, MB server comes up with no media. Stop and restart mediabrowser and everything is there. I mount all of my media from my NAS via NFS and it looks to me like mediabrowser is starting before the NFS directories are mounted. Unfortunately, I'm more of a RHEL guy so I'm not sure how to fix this. It looks like Ubuntu (or maybe Debian in general) has moved a lot of its startup operations away from Sys V Init and over to upstart. And NFS mounts are one of the things that have moved over. However mediabrowser is still using the System V Init style init.d script to start and stop things. I'm not clear on any way to ensure that an Upstart started service is completed before a SysV started service attempts to move forward. I could modify the mediabrowser startup script to make sure my mount point is mounted prior to continuing but I was hoping for a more general solution. Has anybody else run into this? Should the mediabrowser startup be moved to Upstart in order to exert some control between Upstart events?

Original start script was in upstart, but it got move to init.d in order to support as many debian distros as possible. I can try and find the old upstart script if you like and try and provide it.
blublub 10 Posted December 1, 2014 Posted December 1, 2014 I have EXACTLY the same issue on Openmediavault running debian wheezy. Mounting my ZFS volume takes longer than MBS to get bored and declare my media "offline" - so empty library. Described here: http://forums.openmediavault.org/index.php/Thread/6033-openmediavault-mediabrowser-plugin/?pageNo=10 (10th or 11th post and onward to last page) Any ideas to postpone the start or restart MBS service - maybe at the end of rc.local with a sleep 20 !?
troyscorer 3 Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 Original start script was in upstart, but it got move to init.d in order to support as many debian distros as possible. I can try and find the old upstart script if you like and try and provide it. Can i get this Hurricane? Does it have a process that restarts the service if it crashes? my server crashes every few days and from my very limited knowledge, upstart has the facility to check and restart if the process isnt running.
Saner2oo2 4 Posted June 8, 2015 Posted June 8, 2015 can i bump this, does anyone have a copy of an upstart script. i am having issues and want the respawn feature
hurricanehrndz 149 Posted June 9, 2015 Posted June 9, 2015 (edited) If you need the respawn feature at all there might be something wrong with your installation. I would suggest having your issues addressed first. PS if I can get some spare time soon, I will write a new script. Edited June 9, 2015 by hurricanehernandez
Saner2oo2 4 Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 yeah there must be something wrong, i am having serious stability issues. will start a new thread.
