jenson Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 1st issue: This morning I came to office, opened the console on my laptop, connected to server and found one of the internal hard drive of the server showed up twice in the sources windows. 2nd issue: Ignoring the 1st one, tried to add some more clients to source, couldn't detect any at all. They were in the list yesterday. 3nd issue: Then I though maybe I should stop/restart the engine on the server. Opened System Preferences, the Stop Engine button didn't do anything, no matter how many times I clicked. I had even rebooted the server, couldn't resolve all these 3 issues. :angry2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayoff Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 What OS is the engine running on? What type of Mac? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenson Posted April 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 (edited) The test server is iMac (10.4.11, Core 2 Duo 2.16GHz, 2GB), had been running fine for two days. Have one internal drive (two partitions), two external firewire drives. The one that shows up twice is the non-bootable 2nd partition of the internal drive.

Mayoff Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 We know about issues with local disks incorrectly displaying in the source list. I have logged your item #3 as bug 21815 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayoff Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 For item #3, can you zip and send me the com.retrospect.launchd.retroengine.plist file from your library folder? email it to retrospect_forums@emc.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayoff Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 (edited) Also, do you know if this works from the terminal: To stop the engine: sudo launchctl unload /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.retrospect.launchd.retroengine.plist To start the engine again: sudo launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.retrospect.launchd.retroengine.plist Edited April 3, 2009 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenson Posted April 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 Using the command lines is able to stop and start the engine, plus it solved the #2 issue. I can now add more clients. But I don't understand why a reboot of the server couldn't solve it. I will send you the plist file in a minute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
