Suddenly getting loads of Orphaned jobs

Post by geddy_gridlock »

I've run SABnzbd for nearly 3 years, and in that time I think I've had one orphaned job.

About two weeks ago, about half of my jobs started disappearing into the "orphaned" container, and if I repair the queue, or retry the jobs, they just go right back in. The only change I can see is that SAB updated.

I'm running on a dual Xeon server, running Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS, and the download directories are on SSD, with over 170GB free. I can often reload the exact same job fresh and it will run to completion, but sometimes not (probably 50% of the time, just like any other job.)

Most of the time this happens right as the download completes, and the "incomplete" folder contains the full download that can be manually par2 repaired, extracted, etc, with no errors.

This is driving me nuts, as I'm now having to manually tend to this thing every day. I barely knew the "orphaned jobs" folder existed up until two weeks ago.

Anyone have any help they can offer?

Did you update to 2.3.1?
Could you enable Debug logging in the Status window and then after it happens again send me the log at [email protected]?

I appear to actually be on 2.3.2RC1.

I'll turn on logging and see what I get.

I saw on another thread that this was due to the "Download all Par2" flag being on. I'll try turning that off and see if things improve.

I did send a log file, not sure if you got it.

Excellent suggestion! Turning off "Download all Par2" worked for me. Thanks for the suggestion.
