CrashPlan with JDK 8

[dhead666]

I've added info about enlarging the inotify watch limit.
Edit: I've made another update to include info about limiting the memory consumption.

I am getting the same error as jeanlouiejam. I am trying to run this not on a raspberry pi, but on a pogoplug. Should work the same right?

Any help is much appreciated.

Jeanlouiejam, did you ever get your fixed?

@marbletravis, you really don't want to run CrashPlan with less than 512MB RAM.

I have been running it for about a year on a dockstar with jdk6.

I am trying to setup another on an E02 (I think its an E02), but jdk 7 in the repo isn't working so I figured I would try jdk 8 as this thread suggested.

Any ideas on getting one or the other (8 or 7) to work?

I do have a separate thread for the jdk 7 issue

Thanks,

I am trying your script on a pogoplug E02 and also experiencing the same issues as the others:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'Validating environment...

./install.sh: line 154: /opt/jdk1.8.0/bin/java: No such file or directory

I am certain I am in the CrashPlan-install directory when I run
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', './install.sh')
Do you have any hints...
the ownership/group of everything in jdk1.8.0 folder shows this, I wonder if the ownership is an issue

update, changing ownership of everything in that folder to root doesn't fix it...

@stuckwi,

I'm not sure why this issue is arising with pogoplug (or armv5) this works fine with raspberry.
My guess is that the java engine for armv5 is different from the standard one, if you'll look in the script you'll notice that the compatible engines HotSpot and OpenJDK.

A quick and dirty solution will be to edit the installation script to avoid the java check, I recommend you trying to understand what you're removing so you won't end with a corrupt installation.

Thanks dhead666
I played around with the JDK 8 installation several times, and I think you're right about the JDK8 not being compatible with Armv5. I finally had to go with a JDK 7 install from oracle to to get crashplan to start up...
Now I'm off to see what the performance is like.
Thanks for your help... I wish I had bough a Rpi instead...

Just tried to install CrashPlan with JDK 8 on PogoPlug Series 4 and it was an epic fail.
I've edit the installation script to skip the Java check, this wasn't a good idea as the script probably fails because JDK 8 preview is only intended for armhf.
The error message "-bash: /opt/jdk1.8.0/bin/java: No such file or directory" is because java cannot be execute on armv5, just run "java -version" to confirm this.

So no go for Oracle's JDK 8, but openjdk should work.
Anyway I don't think this is a good idea to run CrashPlan with probably less then 80MB free, the Raspberry Pi is a better choice and also the pcDuino with 1GB ram.
