DNS ( /etc/resolv.conf ) empty on restart
I just upgraded my Pro from 4.2.15 -> 4.2.17. On 4.2.15 I had installed Crashplan and ppp VPN client on it... (I don't know if this is related at all).... CrashPlan is running just fine with th...
I also have this problem.
Actually the problem for me happened after a power outtage, the machine is on a UPS and was gracefully shutdown. When the machine came up, I got an email informing me that a new version of RAIDiator-x86 4.2.16 had been installed. However, my NAS could no longer do DNS resolution. So I looked at the DNS settings under Network -> Global Settings -> DNS Settings and found that they were now blank and greyed out.
I also have my ReadyNas Pro setup with a static IP address.
So, being frustrated and not having time to go looking to see what bugs had been reported for this version. I just added my info back to /etc/resolv.conf and now FrontView reports the DNS info, but they are still greyed out. Which means I don't know whats going to happen next upgrade.
SO, basicly, the same problem. I would like to understand how FrontView decides to grey out that pannel, maybe then I could figure out what is causing it.
In the meantime, this sucks, cause the next time I upgrade I'm going to be faced with the same problem...
So if anyone has any answers to this....
Also had two shares that FrontView knows about, but I couldn't modify them, (when I applied any changes it would just refesh the screen back to what I had before i modified it) nor were they exported cause they were missing from /etc/exports, so I had to manually add them and re-export them to get that to work. So, I suspect something in the database that FrontView uses seems corrupted on my system.
I did have a problem, almost a year ago now, that I had to contact Tech support about. The problem involved a disk in a wierd state. They went on the machine for several hours fixing the problem. Don't know if what they did might have left the frontview database in a wierd state.
Then again, I'm just assuming that frontview has a separate database. Though, having entries vanish from my /etc/exports after an upgrade, to me, it must have rebuilt the /etc/exports file as part of the upgrade, and I figure, it did it from a seperate database somewhere.
