Cumulus Support

I discovered error messages like the one below produced by MX in the console. They occur about every 20 minutes or so on average - but this is highly variable. It does not stop mx continuing to run and output "normally". I think it has probably been occurring for a long time but it was only yesterday that I first saw them - I had stopped using the stop/start script to manage mx while I fiddled with using screen (the rpi is headless).


The messages to the console seem to correspond to ftp related errors in the mxdiags file - all begin "FTP error renaming ..." or "Error uploading ..." and end with "Timed out trying to read data from the socket stream!" (see a screen snip below - happy to post the zip if necessary). These errors seem to get corrected - perhaps on a retry that is successful? If they have been happening for the past 3-4 years, as I suspect, don't ask why I hadn't noticed them previously (my only somewhat pathetic defence is the pi has been stable from the day I got it)


So my primary question is "should I be concerned?" Maybe this is an acceptable error rate? Else, what might I do to stop or reduce it?

If you are running Version 3.6.2 (Build 3078) Mark has just released a new version (3.6.3) that replaces the FTP component that was causing the problem in 3.6.2(3078).

Thanks - I’m on 3078 so will upgrade and report back

I've had two hours without an error, so 3079 has sorted it out. What is not improved is my capacity to search through logs - I thought I found the error in quite an old log but that must not have been the case
