Patch shipped: v1.6.737 — The dashboard no longer freezes when your media folder includes a slow network share
Posted by Chris
These SparkBox updates are now available: v1.6.737 — The dashboard no longer freezes when your media folder includes a slow network share - If your media folder has a network share under it (a NAS folder mounted over CIFS or NFS with a lot of files), the "Storage by type" card's hourly size scan could take far longer than its 3-minute limit, and that limit only ever stopped the scan's wrapper: the scan itself kept running, and every hour another one started on top of it. Inside the dashboard's small CPU and memory allowance that left the dashboard unresponsive and unhealthy until you restarted it, and a stale "du" process visible inside its container. Now the limit stops the scan itself, and a folder that hit the limit is left alone for 24 hours instead of being rescanned every hour. The card simply shows that folder's usage under System until a scan completes. - Tom AI can now explain three more earlier releases in plain language: how Tunarr became a first-class app for live TV channels from your own library, what the installer now tells you on ZimaOS and other NAS systems that have no package manager, and how a purchase of a different product from the same shop no longer hands out a SparkBox license key by mistake. Update from the SparkBox dashboard, or run sudo sparkbox upgrade on your SparkBox host. If a problem remains after updating, submit a private support ticket or reply here. Include your SparkBox version and what you see; leave passwords and licence keys out.
