[Opensim-users] Recent request from OSgrid about reloading bad assets

[Thomas Ringate]

The recent request from OSgrid admin to run “fcache assets” and reload bad assets has caused me to check all my regions for error messages.  I discovered the nightly reboot log issues this command and the errors are listed in my logs.  There are many listed, but some I have no idea what they are trying to tell me.
A few give the object name which is a huge help in finding what it is and where it is.

For instance on one region at startup the log file has these entries.
*** sample entries ***
2015-04-19 04:08:36,192 INFO  - OpenSim.Framework.Servers.ServerBase [SERVER BASE]: Running 'fcache assets'
2015-04-19 04:08:37,193 WARN  - OpenMetaverse Failed decoding wearable asset c80f76a4-53a2-d277-68b7-23b1d89682b8: Input string was not in the correct format
2015-04-19 04:08:47,994 DEBUG - OpenSim.Region.Framework.Scenes.Serialization.SceneObjectSerializer [SceneObjectSerializer]: Parsing PrimitiveBaseShape for object part Primitive 7bcf0eba-c86d-4cf9-8f09-77eb0bc371d0 encountered errors in properties FlexiDrag, FlexiGravity.

There are dozens of the last “DEBUG” entry type for some of my regions.

Is this telling me I have a defective asset?  If so how can I find it and how do I fix this kind of error?

The “WARN” entry suggests I have some bad wearable however there are no avatars on the region when it is rebooted which is when this log was generated.

Is there some magical way to locate a prim or asset by using the UUID that is listed in each of these entries?

I use the “cool vl” viewer and I have not found any way to search on a uuid to find it on a region or in my inventory.  Do other viewers have this capability?

If not how do you find and fix these log entries?

I hope there is some efficient way to find these and get them resolved.  I do have a few regions which come up with no entries of any kind that suggest some asset or prim is bad.  I looked back at old logs prior to the asset server failure and none of these errors are present on any of my regions.

I have OAR files for all my regions prior to the asset server crash, so it would be possible for me to load a new blank region with each of these OAR files if that would restore the missing or defective asset these are telling me about.

I do not want to do something that is going to make the problem worst rather than better.

Any suggestions?

Tom
