[smokeping-users] Master-Slave: Magic number checking on storable file failed

[Fligor, Debbie]

I’m pretty sure I hit this a couple of month ago working on getting a smokeping slave running on Pidora, but google isn’t letting me find the answer that helped me when I search with your error message.  If I am recalling correctly, I had to remove an existing data_FPing.cache file in the /opt/smokeping/data directory (your path will probaby be different), and then it worked again. I only have FPing probes, so this may not be the exact file you need to remove.  

Other threads on that error show Storable.pm having issues with 0-length files.

Hopefully this helps you narrow down the problem.
