cron with exit code

[MegaV0lt]

since last update i get a mail from cron with this content:

run-parts: /etc/cron.daily/log2ram exited with return code 1

[azlux]

The only place where log2ram do an exit 1 is when it check is :

[ -d $HDD_LOG/ ] || exit 1

whith $HDD_LOG = /var/hdd.log May be you can do : [ -d /var/hdd.log/ ] || echo "test"to check if the condition fail or not.

Can you check the log2ram log file /var/hdd.log/log2ram.log ?

[azlux]

The other command producing the error 1 is the free space free.

if [ ! -z `du -sh -t 40M /var/hdd.log/ | cut -f1` ];then
   echo "ERROR: RAM disk too small. Can't sync."
   exit 1
fi

Have you an echo when you copy/paste theses 4 lines ?

[MegaV0lt]

Uh...

In install.sh it makes the dir /var/log.hdd but the log2ram works wit /var/hdd.log !

I renamed tht old /var/log.hdd to /var/hdd.log and made a reboot...

After reboot looks fine:

You didn't run the install.sh file when you have upgrade. The install have this code :

  if [ -d /var/log.hdd ]; then
    rm -r /var/log.hdd
fi

This remove the old folder you have. And create the new folder for the mount point.
