Good day!
I am facing some issues with SnapRaid and I have no idea where the issue might be. My system has one parity drive and two pooled drives. Snapraid is configured as follows:
The scheduled diff is configured as follows:
Finally, the snapraid config looks like this:

exclude /Syncthing/The issue I am having is that the scheduled diff is running, but not properly. The scheduled diff runs every night at midnight, but it is behaving oddly:
- After the diff happens, there is no notification email (notifications are working, I already checked that). Hence n
- The diff is registered in the system logs, but says that no changes were detected (although there are indeed file changes). As a consequence, no synchronization happens.
If I run the diff command from the OMV interface manually, the diff works as expected and detects the file changes. A consequent sync commands also works as expected.
I just recently changed the parity drive and replaced one of the data drives. Before that, the scheduled diff was not working because in the snapraid configuration page I had not selected a default array. After the drive replacements, everything was working as expected. I then checked the scheduled diff and realized that there were two automated tasks to do the same thing: one of them was generated by the scheduled diff option, the other one was perhaps a carry over from my older OMV installation. I removed the old scheduled task and modified the new one to run daily. Since then, I am having the issues above.
Things that I have tried:
- Delete all snapraid scheduled tasks and create new ones
- Check that the correct array is selected under "default array"
Finally, I suspect that the issue is in the command sent by the scheduled tasks:
for conf in /etc/snapraid/omv-snapraid-*.conf; do /usr/sbin/omv-snapraid-diff ${conf}; doneThe correct snapraid conf file is not omv-snapraid-*, but omv-snapraid-XXXXXXXX (where XXXXXXX is a long-ass string identifying the array I assume). Could it be that the scheduled diff fails since the wrong conf file is being addresed? If so, any suggestions how to tackle that?
Thanks in advance, and a happy new year)
