YPTStorage connected to local NFS mount issue

[guymass]

Hi Daniel,

Here is my issue which causes me some problems, major ones. I have two main server as you know, one is our Live streaming, which is connected to few storage places through NFS mounts. The problem is that if one of those mounts or basically server that mount is connected to goes down, there is no way for AVideo to know this and users will still requests for videos which are stored there that are now not available. Instead of announcing to the user that the video is currently unavailable until the storage location is back online, the request for the video goes through and the server get choked with requests to unavailable storage location. This makes me reboot the server with the storage unmounted until its back online and I can reconnect it again.

1. There needs to be a way to notify the user and make a simple check to see if the storage location is available and the video is available before trying to load it, taking cpu resources and more.
2. There needs to be another filter for the videos to display them based on the storage location their at. With many videos its hard to keep track on what is stored where.

I think the plugin works great and helps manage and solve storage issues but it requires some more attention as it is crucial for the sites to operate properly while storage issues arise.

Best Regards,
