Just /var/snd

I have two rd systems used for my twp streams. This might be a clue though:

I did a df -h and on the working box there is a line:            '/dev/sda3   1.7T    75G    1.6T   5%   /var/snd' on the working box.

The box that does not load a new log at midnight looks like this: '/dev/sda4  1.7T   42G   1.6T    3%  /sda4

There is no "mounted on" /var/snd  only a symbolic link pointing to /sda4 in the old existing /var/snd

Could this be a clue?

Hi Rick,

 migrating to CentOS 7 is a good idea. If you have a new machine follow

http://static.paravelsystems.com/rivendell-install-rd3/rivendell-install-rhel7.html

then copy the contents of /var/snd across to the new machine. rsync across the local network will do the job.

Save a copy of the database in RDADMIN to something you can connect to the new machine easily.

restore using rddbconfig

Did you move /var/snd or /var/log? /var/snd is not going to affect chain log but moving /var/log is definitely going to confuse things!

I understand. But from the OP, everything worked fine until I moved /var/log. Around midnight give or take, the end of the log showed it was to load the next day log but doesn't. Just stops. I plundered through the rd archives and saw a lot of possible problems and solutions especially from "cowboy". Applied all of them including check box  'Insert CHAIN TO at log end'.

Still doesn't work.

Since this distro was loaded from a centos 5 os Rd appliance disk, maybe I should take Fred's advice and start over with a Centos 7 distro. I'm assuming all I have to do is copy the lastest rdbackup and the whole /var/snd music into new machine, restore database?? Could it be that easy?

That's not dependent on /var/snd/

Look in RDADMIN > Manage Services > Service to see that 'Insert CHAIN TO at log end' is checked.

This may not happen exactly at midnight unless you have some time sync events in the clock for the last hour.
