#66 MiniDLNA keeps crashing on Drobo
I have a Drobo 5N running MiniDLNA 1.1.5 (which, as far as I can tell, is still the highest version that was officially released for the Drobo). It has been running without any problems for the past 2 years, but since a week or so it crashes almost immediately when I try to access the file system though it.
The lines in the log file tell me:
[2019/07/04 12:44:22] inotify.c:92: error: inotify_add_watch(/mnt/DroboFS/Shares/{some folder}/{some file}) [No such file or directory]
[2019/07/04 13:51:34] upnphttp.c:1052: warn: HTTP Connection closed unexpectedly
Where {some folder} and {some file} are folders and files that have been deleted from my Drobo harddisks quite some time ago. Why is MiniDLNA accessing deleted files and folders, and is there anything I can do to prevent this from happening (thus stop MiniDLNA from crashing) ?
(PS: I see there are newer versions of the MiniDLNA app here... I have no idea how to compile these things or how to create a version that I could install on my Drobo, so if there is an installable version for Drobo somewhere, then I'd appreciate any help in that area as wel)
Follow-up: I managed to solve the issue, by deleting the files.db, then rebooting my Drobo to trigger a cache refresh. After that the file is correctly regenerated, and now MiniDLNA works again.
