QNAP NAS recurrent error

Post by Taels »

I just did a clean reinitialization of my QNAP NAS, installed the last version of Syncovery and I am getting dozens of this error message:

Warning 2022-04-03 13:30:50 System 127.0.0.1 --- --- [Syncovery 9.47f, build 380, English] Stopping, possibly an unneeded extra invocation.

Important: Syncovery is working just fine. Already did dozens of backup jobs. But I am still getting dozens of these errors even though no jobs are running.

Hello,
I know that these messages can occur a few times during or after installation, but they should eventually stop.

Maybe the QNAP operating system can't detect that Syncovery is running and it's trying to start it repeatedly, or Syncovery's own Guardian is doing that.

What status does the QNAP App Center show for Syncovery? Maybe it helps to stop and restart Syncovery from there?

Can you check the Guardian status at port 8900?
For example,
http://192.168.12.45:8900/

If the page does not show, then the Guardian is not installed, so that would be fine.

Syncovery is running according to App Center. Its icon is on the QNAP dashboard.

I will try to stop it and restart it again.

Guardian status shows this:

Hi,
OK, it seems that the Guardian is malfunctioning.

You don't actually need it. Just stop it. You can stop it permanently from the Program Settings dialog in Syncovery, tab sheet "Advanced". There is a button "Stop Syncovery Guardian". Which also means it won't be restarted on the next boot.

If you have the Guardian as a separate app in the QNAP App Center, please stop it there too.
