target volume unmounting during scan
Paul Dougherty
Hi,
On occasion it would appear that a target volume unmounts, most critically during a Fixity scan recently. (iMac connected to Sonnet Twin to NETGEAR 8-port ProSAFE 10-Gigabit Smart Managed Switch, to QNAP TS-1685). This is infrequent and I’ve yet to troubleshoot it.
That said, when I remounted the QNAP on the desktop it seems like Fixity resumed the scan. That’s the good news, but though there is activity (file paths flashing in the scan window) the # of days has exceeded any reasonable expectation (over a week for 3TB). In future I’ll quit the scan and start over, but has anyone had experience with such a phenomena and/or have thoughts/guidance?
Thanks,
Paul

While reviewing the seemingly stalled scan in progress within Fixity, my cursor became a frozen beachball. (had not notices that happening in past reviews) I am hard-pressed to remember the timing or if any user action or selection resulted in this. However seeing this made me look at the force-quit listing of applications that were running, and indeed Fixity was not responding. In future the moment I suspect that a scan is hung up, I will visit this window for a “not responding” alert. In the many days the scan seem to be running I was given a sense of false confidence via the Directory paths flashing by in what I’m calling the scan window. I hope this makes sense, I’m happy to clarify if it doesn’t
