Addons Important Advisory

[super-poussin]

Hi Guys,

Some addons like the official's Twonky Addons in 5.X and SqueezeCenter Add-ons can make the root of you NAS being full , in this case your NAS will become unresponsive and you will need to call support.

I have modified last Twonly Addons to avoid this problem, but take care of add-ons in particular when they have a debug or log option.

People who wants to develop add-ons must not write in the / or /tmp or /var ..., if the software require to write in such place please make a symbolic link to another place like /c/webroot/addons-name/logs for example

Addons developers might also use logrotate to handle this properly.

It is really simple to setup...

Code: Select all

apt-cache show logrotate


Code: Select all

# cat /etc/logrotate.d/tinyproxy
/var/log/tinyproxy.log {
    rotate 14
    daily
    compress
    missingok
    postrotate
        /etc/init.d/tinyproxy restart > /dev/null
    endscript
}


Just a hint...
