Dropbox Addon Causing Continual Fsck On Re-Boot <- Be Warned

I just tried on three different ReadyNAS systems and none of those showed that behavior and I can't find a fsck.log on any of those either, so a little bit more information would be helpful. Do you use the timer function to shut down the ReadyNAS or do you shut it down using the menu entry in Frontview? Also an excerpt from the fsck.log as well as relevant parts from /var/log/messages could shed some light on what is happening.

Hi Stefan

The server is shutting down on a timer every night ( 23.30 ) so it occurred to me that depending on what Dropbox was synching at the time, this could cause problems, I will post some logs later today under separate cover.

I'll have a look at the timed shutdown procedure. Maybe I can just add a script that shuts down Dropbox gracefully in the event of a scheduled shutdown of the ReadyNAS.

Hi Stefan

I was sort of assuming that everything would be shutdown gracefully automatically when the ReadyNAS closes down, obviously not. All of the files referenced for fixing were in the Dropbox cache:

This is from a couple of the entries:

find /c/Dropbox -xdev -inum 321953868 -print
/c/Dropbox/.dropbox.cache/2011-11-26/LastSession (deleted 4ed14d9f-a91b-545bf1b9).plist

Hope this helps.

Hi Stefan

Just to say that the test add-on you sent through did not work, I have pm'd you the details.
