Problem with Buffalo Linkstation Duo (LS-WXL), 100% cpu

[wizt]

Hi,

I have a problem running BTSync on my Buffalo NAS. I am running firmware 1.64, and have root access to the device. No other modifications has been done to the firmware. The NAS is arm based:

> uname -a
Linux hostname 3.3.4-88f6281 #2 Mon Dec 10 17:31:41 JST 2012 armv5tel unknown

I installed and ran the program like this:

> wget http://btsync.s3-website-us-east-1.amazonaws.com/btsync_arm.tar.gz
> tar zxvf btsync_arm.tar.gz
> chmod u+x btsync
> ./btsync

Now to my problem. The program runs, but I can't access the webui. When I check top it says that btsync is using close to a 100% of the cpu. I left it running for about 5min, but it is still close to a 100% and no webui.

I also tried running with the flag --no-daemon set, in hope of getting some debug messages, but nothing.

Do you guys and girls have any idea of what might be causing this, and is there a possible fix? Is there any way to get some debug info from the application?

Dammit, sorry. Just noticed how to turn on the debug stuff... I will post a log after 15-20min when the program has run for a while...

Ok, so I ran the debug and all I get is this:

....... Repeats this every minute

Not much to go on there....

[20130326 15:09:50] NAT-PMP: Unable to map port with NAT-PMP.

It looks like BTSync isn't able to automatically open ports on your firewall/router - you may have to manually add exceptions to your firewall/router configuration (remember to add UDP expections)

There was a recent discussion relating to ports here.

[wizt]

Alright.. find a solution to some of the problems I am having... But first, the NAT-PMP problem was not my mian concern here, as I was not getting into the web interface, and I have a 100% CPU load. But I have to thank you for point that out, as it was the thing that got me thinking about a solution to my problem

The solution to the 100% cpu "bug" is to change port that the WebUI is running on OR open the port (8888) on the Linkstation (PS. you don't have iptables). What I did was to change the port to 8080 and the WebUI works and the load went down to a more managable 0-1% (when nothing is happening)

Now I will just try to figure out how to properly open the other ports on the Linkstation. Since I don't have access to iptables i will probable have to mess with /etc/services or something similar. I will post back if/when I find a solution.

HI Guys

first of Im in terms of sshing my linkstation etc a noob..... I took me one entire day to enable ssh on my device..... anyways, I was able to download btsync, also to run it. However the webui simply does not want to work. I changed the port from 8888 to 8080....which did not work.... i also tried some other ports which did not work as well. Nevertheless no matter what port i try my cpu is at 100% almost the entire time... any help would be a lot appriciated since btsync is a really amazing tool which would make my NAS just worth the money.... thanks a lot in advance

Hi,

 

yesterday I made btsync running on my Buffalo Linkstation -in the end with own config file, because of path errors. It is only working with port 8080. Today I was working on my WOL via FHEM which is also working fine right now.

My problem now is: how can I automatically run btsync with my configuration during booting of my Linkstation. Currently I always have to log in via SSH and start the btsync via ./btsync --config btsync.conf.

Hopefully on of you can help me in that as my linux experiences are quite low

 

Cheers .. Max
