Thread: rtorrent.lock

hi my rutorrent sudenly get stack and crashed everytime when I add torrents or stop start and it add to season folder rotrrent.lock when I delete it it still not working I need to re install rtorent to make working does one one know how to stop rtorrent.lock ? file it just lock rtorrent and will not open agian

thanks

The lock file is created during normal operation (to lock a session), but it is not normally persistent.
It's still there because rotorrent crashed and didn't have a chance to remove the lock file. Just move the lockfile somewhere else or delete it and restart your client. Then it will work again unless you had serious corruption. Usually it will work afterwards though.

And if rtorrent keeps crashing on you.. trying reverting to the default settings or reinstall it.

after I uploaded my rtorrent Im having series crash problem almost every torrent I added I deleted all season folder it worked now but all of my old torrent is gonne I cant re start or force to check it when I do stop and re start any torrent corruption before my rtorrent close I didnt like new version of rtorrent :( it has many bug I think and not working properly I cant stop or re start my rtorent sometimes :( I hust lost 1tb seeding files :(

but right now working not sure how long gonne be

what you can advice me to do for this serius crashing problems lastnight my rutorrent working perfectly and I woke up it was crashed :( I didnt had such a problem with old version if Im not wrong it was 0.8.6

The newest version is 0.8.9/0.12.9 and I don't have any problems with it (I use it very rarely though).

Are you sure you have enough storage left, because when your share of the HDD (or your HDD) is full rtorrent keeps crashing until you have deleted/ or stopped the files.
This sounds very much like this.
If you have this problem again, please add more details (rtorrent version; error message, if you get one; storage left; ...)

Ah Magister is faster than I tonight. And with good advice too. It's certainly frustrating when things go wrong. You haven't given a lot of details about your situation, so it's impossible to give you much specific advice. In the absence of more information.. I can only suggest that you revert to your previous, presumably stable version. And use the default settings at least until you have a sense that it is again stable.

From the version number you cited, this is presumably a linux version from about two years ago. And it sounds like you tried upgrading to a newer version. But without further details, I don't know if the installation had problems or whether there might be a conflict or bug with the new version. If you can provide more information e.g. what OS are you using, is this your PC or seedbox, how did you go about the upgrade, any other recent changes that might have precipitated or contributed to the problem. The amount of disk free space, have you seen any symptoms of a failing or erratic disk or checked the disk health? Any error messages, logs or other clues. That information will be invaluable to someone trying to help you troubleshoot this.

OS is Ubuntu 10.04 LTS I have evobox platinum seedbox

how can I check error disc on linux ? :D


BTW when I was using 0.8.6 I had problem and I installed 0.8.9 I releazie someting after I isntlaled 0.8.9 both 0.8.6 and 0.8.9 was installed my system and I deleted 0.8.6 forn var/www/rtorrent/0.8.6 maybe it cuz damage ? its wrkign now but after adding new torents Im having problem :( or I cant start rotrrent or close just code say working but nothign happing maybe I need to re install my os ?

It's more likely a bad install than a failing disk. If you have root (I believe that the VPS EVO boxes do), then you can run fsck to check for disk errors
probably $ sudo fsck -n /dev/sdb1
Or check usage with $ man fsck

I'd try just reinstalling rtorrent for now. But if it still seems unstable or if you just want a fresh start, then yes reinstalling the OS would be a good option

Log into your VPS manager ( depeding on which control panel you use either SolusVM ...) and check how much storage you have left. I still think that's the issue.

For most people, without offending you, I include you, it's a lot easier to just re-install the VPS/server and set everything up completely new than trying to sort out the error. When you do this be sure that you also have the newest versions.

Please also post any error message you get, if you get one, because it's very hard to help you with this little information.
It may be hard for you to explain your problem, but be as precise as possible.


Edit: I know copper would beat me this time; Follow his advice first.

The main problem is I type service rtorrnet stop it is not working it say rtorrnet stoing and stoped but my rtorrent stil running do you know other way to close rtorrent
