SMB Mount ( IPv6), JF Cleanup Too Early

[pixel24]

Hi@all,

I run a dual-stack (IPv4/IPv6) internally. With IPv6, the SMB mount of the libraries from the server takes a few seconds. As a result, when JF restarts, it thinks the titles in the playlists are no longer available and empties them completely. :-(

On the current working system (JF 10.8.3), which uses the same libraries/mounts, this problem does not occur.

Hey Pixel,

The new server got some improvements that drastically improves startup times, so i recon that the server just starts too fast for your shares to be available. However i understand your frustration, but this is really not an JF issue. I assume you run Jellyfin on a linux server barebones?

Any chance you're using Docker?

I remember @TheDreadPirate posted a while back to another user with a similar question that the container could be set up to delay activation until the host mounts where actually connected.

Yes, I am using JF 10.9.6 on a Debian server (12.5), without a GUI, running as a VM on my Proxmox. I don't want to use Docker.

I am currently trying to get to the bottom of the problem. Is there a way to delay the start of the Jellyfin service?

[Efficient_Good_5784]

Maybe try not auto-starting Jellyfin on system boot and instead have it start up a few minutes later by the use of a cron job.

Read my answer in this post. You can modify the jellyfin service file to wait for the mount before starting.

I would say it has nothing to do with the mount. As I mentioned, currently Jellyfin does not start automatically. I created a test playlist and added an album. Then I performed a restart.

Checked the mount:

Jun 10 19:38:41 media02 jellyfin[811]: [19:38:41] [INF] Sammlungen und Playlisten aufräumen Completed after 0 minute(s) and 0 seconds

The mount was already active and the files were available at the time of the Jellyfin start. Despite this, Jellyfin still cleared the playlist.

[TheDreadPirate]

Since this is a network mount you should disable real time monitoring since SMB does not support inotify. I'm not sure if that is the cause of your issue, but it should be disabled regardless.

What are the mount parameters for this share in /etc/fstab?

[pixel24]

First, I tried the solution from the linked post by making the service in Systemd dependent on the mount:

Code:

/etc/systemd/system/jellyfin.service.d/jellyfin.service.conf
RequiresMountsFor=/data01/Musik2

This did not change the behavior, which I expected because the relevant share was mounted and available before I manually started Jellyfin.
Next, I disabled the real-time monitoring of the library. However, this did not change the behavior either. The playlist is empty after a few reboots of the VM.
My /etc/fstab:

Code:

//srv01.lan.intern.lan/Musik2    /data01/Musik2  cifs  rw,auto,fsc,iocharset=utf8,uid=administrator,gid=domain\040users,file_mode=0660,dir_mode=0770,credentials=/root/.smbpasswd,vers=3.1.1    0      0

[TheDreadPirate]

You're not making a jellyfin.service.conf file.  RequiresMountsFor goes into jellyfin.service itself.

If this happens SOMETIMES on reboot, this 100% sounds like the post I linked. Jellyfin is sometimes starting before the SMB share mounts.

Put RequiresMountFor in /etc/systemd/system/jellyfin.service.d/jellyfin.service directly.

Code:
