As reported from many users..
there's a way to correct this BUGGY behaviour using a network cif mount???

CIFS works. There's still the same old bug. If server who has serving the cif goes standby or disconnect, BlackHole goes crazy and hang on when requesting access to it.​
IT'S A KNOWN "BUG" FROM ALL VERSIONS I MOUNTED (FROM 179) :-(​


Try this
1) BH: mount cif and access it (from gui or telnet /media/net/XXX)
2) CIF SERVER: make standby or disconnect network
3) BH: access now cif (from gui or telnet /media/net/XXX) --> BH hangs
4) BH: reboot, access now cif (from gui or telnet /media/net/XXX) --> BH connects (goto 2)

As i answered it's not a bug: it's a CIFS protocol limitation.

Sorry, obviously i did a mistake at point #2

Try this
1) BH: mount cif and access it (from gui or telnet /media/net/XXX)
2) CIF SERVER: make standby or disconnect network AND REPRISE FROM STANDBY OR RECONNECT NETWORK
3) BH: access now cif (from gui or telnet /media/net/XXX) --> BH hangs
4) BH: reboot, access now cif (from gui or telnet /media/net/XXX) --> BH connects (goto 2)

I do not understand what is the solution, because it seems that I have the same problem, wanting to install a superior image to 1.79, all black and never get to finish installing a superior picture and go back to 1.79, thanks and greetings

Mount a mountpoint using NFS protocol, not CIFS.
All NAS has this feature, also Windows can manage NFS with 3rd parties free software.

An addition...
seems that after "about 5 minutes" after BH hangs accessing the cif, access reprises by itself...

[cif resource previously disconnected]
root@vusolo:~# time df
//192.168.1.2/DiscoD 1953512444 622326444 1331186000 32% /media/net/PC
real 4m 22.11s
user 0m 0.00s
sys 0m 0.00s

[from now on, until next disconnectio, cif is online immediately]
root@vusolo:~# time df
//192.168.1.2/DiscoD 1953512444 622326444 1331186000 32% /media/net/PC
real 0m 0.01s
user 0m 0.00s
sys 0m 0.00s

Bye.

2.0.5 resolves the cif mount problems? Didn't read it in the "update readme".
I'm using 2.0.4, today i'll do the upgrade and test the system.
Thanks.

Anyway, you can remove the link, and i copy/paste solution here down,

---------------------------------------

Hi there guys.
I maybe found a "patch" to resolve my CIFS management problem.
If useful, i write down the procedure.

I write down a very simple script to "ping" my net mountpoint to the CIFS/Netbios share (W7).
I put the script in crontab every 5 minutes, from now i can now reconnect to the share also if share goes standby or disconnect, immediately or after a few minutes, without rebooting stb.


SCRIPT:

#!/bin/sh
#DESCRIPTION=Reprise CIFS connection after X minutes from shell (by Verbal 2013)

mylog=/hdd/log/${0##*/}.log
echo $(date) >>$mylog
time ls /media/net 1>>$mylog 2>>$mylog
echo ------------------------------------------- >>$mylog


OUTPUT (in set log, hdd/pendrive in my stb):

Sat Jan 4 09:55:01 CET 2014
PC
real 0m 0.01s
user 0m 0.00s
sys 0m 0.00s

cron:

*/5 * * * * /hdd/scripts/reprise_cifs.sh


Doing so, i can now open Mediaplayer without hang and without rebooting stb.
In my lan and with my stb (Solo/Vti 6.0.5) the reprise is done in 15 minutes max, without rebooting stb.

Bye.​

ps. the CRON in BH is different than the classic in VTi.
So che entry,

*/5 * * * * /hdd/scripts/reprise_cifs.sh

must be set in both files in /etc/bhcron/

root@vuzero:/etc/bhcron# ls -l
-rw------- 1 root root 42 Dec 20 11:16 bh.cron
-rw------- 1 root root 42 Dec 20 11:16 root
root@vuzero:/etc/bhcron# cat *
*/15 * * * * /hdd/scripts/reprise_cifs.sh
*/15 * * * * /hdd/scripts/reprise_cifs.sh

(as BHCron usage guide)

Hi Verbal,

Thanks for your support, unfortunately I'm not that experience doing this, the */5****/hdd/scripts/reprise_cifs.sh, should be entered in both bhcron files, bh. cron and root correct?

What I don't understand is the part of the script and the output where should I enter this information?

Sorry I need a dummy guide as I told you before I'm learning, hope you understand.

Thanks in advance for your support.

Best Regards

Leave the ouput out, you don't really need it.

Make so, maybe you don't have an /hdd mounted also, so,

1) create the script under /usr/script/reprise_cifs.sh and make "chmod 755" it,

#!/bin/sh
#DESCRIPTION=Reprise CIFS connection after X minutes from shell (by Verbal 2013)
#mylog=/hdd/log/${0##*/}.log
mylog=/dev/null
echo $(date) >>$mylog
time ls /media/net 1>>$mylog 2>>$mylog
echo ------------------------------------------- >>$mylog​

2) edit both bhcron files under "/etc/bhcron/" and insert this line in every file (bh.cron and root),

*/15 * * * * /usr/script/reprise_cifs.sh​

Now you will not have more cif break and enigma2 hang. At least that's what this "ping netmount" does for me.. i never need to kill enigma2 or reboot stb for cif disconnect!!!

Hoping you'll solve.

Bye.

Hi verbal

Thank you for your patience.

I understand that the input should be copied the same as you pasted here?
