mDNSResponder stuck in restart loop

Hello all,

I have a mid 2011 Mac Mini (Macmini5,2) running OS X 10.9 (13A603). I started having Time Machine issues where TM could still find my ReadyNAS NV+ server; however, it would no longer bring up the login window. (Note that I am running successful TM backups of a MBP without issue, and I can still login into the backup share from the Mini via AFP.) I started digging around the console logs and found the following line repeating every ten seconds.

Nov 12 08:36:07 wolf-av-mini.home mDNSResponder[1401]: mDNSResponder mDNSResponder-522.1.11 (Aug 24 2013 23:49:34) starting OSXVers 13

Nov 12 08:36:07 wolf-av-mini com.apple.launchd.peruser.502[172] (com.apple.mDNSResponder): Throttling respawn: Will start in 10 seconds

My attempts to solve this issue included unloading and loading the mDNSRespond plist, flushing the DNS cache with SIGHUP, installing the latest NV+ firmware, and even downloading the full Mavericks install and running it twice, all to no avail. Curiously, Safari and iTunes are not obviously affected by this issue (or they're just more resiliant than TM.)

Anyway, could someone please assist me with this Time Machine and mDNSResponder issue. For reference, the full system.log transcript of the selection the TM server is below.

Thanks,

Ira

Here's a useful and important note the ReadyNAS Forums...

Time Machine and OS X Mavericks

by mdgm » Tue Nov 05, 2013 8:09 pm

A firmware update is needed to support Time Machine backups from a machine running OS X Mavericks:

ReadyNAS OS: 6.1.4 or later. If you are running older firmware you should be automatically prompted to update when you next open the Dashboard.

RAIDiator-x86: 4.2.25 RC1 or later: http://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=51&t=70385

RAIDiator-arm: 5.3.10 beta or later: http://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=148&t=72267

RAIDiator (Sparc): 4.1.13 RC1 or later: http://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=59222

If you have issues backing up even after updating the firmware try toggling the Time Machine service off then on again in Frontview/Dashboard

Thanks Ira - installing that update now. Frankly I'd never imagined the ReadyNAS bods would still be shipping updates for the ancient NV+!

I'm delighted to be proved wrong - this is GOOD customer service!

RAIDiator (Sparc): 4.1.13 RC1 worked like a charm for both Mavericks (Mac Mini) and Mountain Lion (MBP).

Finally, this issue is resolved!

Regards,

Ira
