DSM-G600, DNS-3xx and NSA-220 Hack Forum

Hello,
I am a new user of this NAS
After reading a lot of threads, I have not found the answer to my question.
All the setup is fine, transmission is working for me now (V2.21)

I want just to know now if I need to launch the start command after each reboot ? is there a way to have it work automatically after the boot?

Thank you

sorry for my bad englsih , I am french....

I installed the new build, and it worked alright. I did have to create /ffp/var/log/ and copy my old transmission-daemon.log file into it.

It looks like 2.20 has issues with folder watching, however, so I downgraded to 2.13. I kept the new startup script, and it seems to work fine with the old build.

I also confirm that the /ffp/vag/log/ was not created during the installation.
I created the directory manually but I now get the following error message upon starting up:

"Couldn't open "/ffp/var/log/transmission-daemon.log": Permission denied".
What permissions should I give to the /ffp/var/log/ dir and how?
Btw should I also move the transmission.log file ?

Any idea how to resolve this?
also when trying to stop the transmission daemon I am getting the following:
/ffp/start/transmission.sh stop
Stopping transmission-daemon
Unexpected response: <h1>401: Unauthorized</h1>Unauthorized User

Something looks broken unfortunately.

Thanks for keeping new versions coming out.

Ever since I have been using transmission (since 1.2x I believe) I have been having memory problems.
If my DNS323 runs for a couple of days, I find my DNS323 swapping massively and see that I have 5 transmission processes each using almost 200mb (the exact amount differs from time to time).

This is with only 3 torrents in transmission, all of them in seeding mode but no peers connected.

The 5 processes are normal, and the memory display is total for all processes. Still, 200mb is quite a lot. Mine is usually at 5-15MB (of 64MB RAM total).

I changed my volume 2 to a bigger drive 2TB retaining the folder structures. Now, I keep on getting permission denied after a few seconds or after a few MB of download. Transmission is installed on Volume 1 and I used to download to Volume 2. I tried the following commands to no avail.

chown -R nobody /mnt/HD_a2/.transmission-daemon
chown -R nobody /mnt/HD_b2/Downloads

Currently using Transmission 2.13.

Any ideas?

Check the download folder in the Transmission preferences, if it really is set to /mnt/HD_b2/Downloads.
Also check if that folder and its subfolders belongs to user nobody and group 501.
Check the user rights of the folders (should be 0755).

Also, try changing the "umask" option in your settings.json to 0. (Remember to properly quit Transmission first, otherwise your changes will be overwritten).

Thank you Kylek for responding.

It seems like it's working now that I changed the unmask from 18 to 0. Before, download stops after 1 or 2mb.

After 96 hours its at 48%. No torrents added/removed. Definitely some memory leak. Guess I'll have to create myself a cron job to restart nightly.

How do you check for memory use and cpu utilization of the dns-323?

From the command line, use this command:

Code:

top

press 'q' to quit.

Thanks!

Are you using v2.21 already? A user (vaguely) reported a memleak with v2.11, but hasn't encountered it since switching to the latest version (which might have something to do with the upgrade to libevent 2.0).

I'll try to have an eye on the memusage of Transmission myself for a couple of days. Maybe a script exists that can record the usage in intervals?

Also, I've noticed that htop reports different (=lower) mem usage than top. Don't really know where the difference is though.

Of interest would be how many torrents you have loaded, and how many of those are downloading/stopped/seeding.

I really wish Valgrind would work on the DNS-323

I'm experiencing this type of memory leak since day one when I started using Transmission (v2.11). I'm currently using v2.21. I have ~450 torrents that I'm seeding. In my case, it goes from 45% memory right after starting Transmission to over than 90% memory 6-7 days later.

Quick question ...

Had to rebuild the PC, is there anyway I can find out what username and password I need to use in Transmission Remote GUI ?

No need for that. Just set them again to whatever values you'd like:
1. telnet/ssh to the DNS-323.
2. issue the command: "/ffp/start/transmission.sh stop". Wait a minute or so to make sure transmission is not running, or check with the "ps" command.
3. edit "rpc-username" and rpc-password" in the settings.json file. It is located in /mnt/HD_a2/.transmission-daemon by default.

Edit: Make a copy of that file before changing it, just in case. You may need to change the ownership/permissions using chown/chmod, so make to ls -l that file before making your changes and take note of the file's ownership/permissions.

I run transmission from a USB thumb drive for all folders except "incomplete" and "complete" and the disks spin down unless there is an active download (or presumably upload). I can't say for sure one way or another if you run from the standard disks, but I believe that it does.

i run it completely from Harddisk and it spins down
