Maintenance problems
Though normal backup works fine (no errors) the monthly cleanup-job ran into problems: It seems that the target disk for storage of the logs was not available. Found that also during the week; there was an issue with the latest reboot (required because I had to power the system down due to work on the power grid at home) that some processes didn’t start, because it was still commented out in the startup procedure. This was started manually and thge startup procedure was corrected. But I didn’t get into the fact that that one disk (DKA0) was not available: to be checked later; another power down (for the same reason) was to be done o I could get into that at that point.
Today, I had this second power down – and I did the archiving of logfiles by hand, on the pagedisk (that has sufficient room).
Mail log was run anyway:

I added a number of lines to the PMAS filter to block notorious domains but there is still a quite number of messages that are too random in text and header that blocking them is a lot of work. So I leave it as it is, for now.
After the last reboot, DKA0 was available but I missed the web-entries: Found out that the location of the containers of web-related locations was wrong so these could not be loaded: Not on the unit I expected them to be, but on another. I know I moved them but they are not on that drive. Luckily, there is still another version onj another unit, so I could use that; but I had to redo one of the previous activities, but both blogs and the admin pages can now be accessed. But it is weird one is missing… I have to find out why.
Update
Running DFU on the disk where I expected both containers revealed these files were “marked for deletion”. No idea what could have caused this, or it could be that something went wrong in “unproper dismount” due to power failure, or during boot of the controller? Anyway, I could restore both containers, will check them and
since the startup-procedure was correct after all, I have to revert the changes. Next step after that will be enable both containers.
