Race condition between Jellyfin and NAS - unmesh59 - 2024-10-16 I have Jellyfin running on Ubuntu on one server and a separate NAS with the media files. After a power outage, the machine with Jellyfin powers up first with the consequence that the SMB mount of the NAS fails and I have to run "sudo mount -a" manually after some time. Is there a way to automate the sequencing of events so that the dependencies are met? I'd be willing to live with a single mount event firing a fixed time after reboot if deterministically waiting for the NAS to be up is too difficult. RE: Race condition between Jellyfin and NAS - TheDreadPirate - 2024-10-16 You can modify the jellyfin service file to require that a mount be present before attempting to start. Modify /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/jellyfin.service and add "RequiresMountFor" in the [Service] section. I've provided an example below. Code: [Unit] I want to note that this will only work if you've defined your SMB mount in /etc/fstab. RequiresMountFor uses the fstab parameters to determine when the mount is actually available. RE: Race condition between Jellyfin and NAS - unmesh59 - 2024-10-17 My fstab entry is //192.168.1.206/Share1 /mnt/Syno cifs credentials=/etc/cifs-credentials I expect I should replace /media/library in your example with my mount point which is /mnt/Syno Also, my experience with power outages is that Ubuntu does not seem to retry the mount if it fails the first time and I have to automount using the fstab entry. Did I not wait long enough or will this change somehow cause the OS to retry mounting? Or something more has to be done on/to Ubuntu? Thanks. RE: Race condition between Jellyfin and NAS - TheDreadPirate - 2024-10-17 Yes, you'd replace /media/library with your mount location. In your fstab you can try adding the retry option. Code: //192.168.1.206/Share1 /mnt/Syno cifs credentials=/etc/cifs-credentials,retry=5 This will retry for 5 minutes before giving up. RE: Race condition between Jellyfin and NAS - unmesh59 - 2024-10-17 Awesome! I will add that and wait for the next power outage which may not be too far away :-( |
