Hi
Yesterday, two times power cut happend in my region. So my ZM server had power loss two times too. When I power on my zm server today again, it was not continue recording in Mocord function and source path was orange. I tried reboot server, restart zm service from tty, restart from web interface and changing back function again and again, but nothing changed.

I searched in forum and the FAQS and i saw it might be about database problem. Then i tried this instruction to fix database. Bu didn't help. The problem is still continue.

There are the first 94 rows from zm_debug.log of the running device (/dev/video3)
(I didnt paste all of log, because each log files are about 7KB)

Code: Select all

There is a weird problem. I ve got two cams and "Itriat" named cam has black screen error. I m working for that. But at this time, "Kapi" named cam's work is more important than other cam. So i turned off the "Itriat" named cam. Then "Kapi" turned orange

Name.....Function......Source
Itriat........None........./dev/video1 (0)
Kapi........Mocord........./dev/video3 (0)

Then i enabled the Itriat to Mocord and Kapi resume recording again

Name.....Function......Source
Itriat........Mocord........./dev/video1 (0)
Kapi........Mocord........./dev/video3 (0)

I did some changes in sysctl.conf these are:

Code: Select all

# RAM=1GB => shmall=1000x1024x1024/4096
kernel.shmall = 256000
# Image Resolution=640x480 ColorDept=RGB24 
# Image BufferRing=50 with 2 Cams
# shmax=640x480x24x50x2 width %10 Tolerance = 811008000 bit
# But I need bytes 811008000/8=101376000 bytes
# kernel.shmmax = 101376000
# was for 640x480
kernel.shmmax = 32947200
# is for 320x240 and image buffer ring 65

Now both /dev/videoX:
320x240 RGB24 image_buffer_ring=65

Any ideas?

You have them both working now but if you can duplicate the previous issue try debug on zma since it is responsible for writing to disk and the database maybe something useful will turn up there.

I'm on v1.23.3, but I came across this thread with a similar issue (power outage last week, source path orange, not recording). In my case what fixed it was:

service zm stop
mysqlcheck -A --auto-repair -u<user> -p<password>
service zm start

Once the database was cleaned up, happily recording once again.

Hope this helps someone in future!
