OMV Web Gui Not Stable

I'm late to the game on this thread but can confirm that most of the WebGUI issues are resolved with a static IP. I experienced similar problems with Cisco routers assigning DHCP - most of the problems revolve around DNS registration problems and not correctly adding or updating PTR records so reverse lookups constantly fail (which is likely the random 'Error' that pops up when you are clicking around the GUI)

Found this post, for stabilizing the WebGUI. Better, but not perfect. I also tried adding my router's DNS Server names and got this error:

"Error #6000:exception 'OMVException' with message 'File contains invalid JSON (filename=/var/lib/openmediavault/dirtymodules.json): ' in /usr/share/php/openmediavault/util.inc:279Stack trace:#0 /usr/share/php/openmediavault/module.inc(371): OMVJsonFile->read()

What is this? Is there an updated JSON plugin that goes with version 2.2.10 or something?

OK. Delete JSON. How is that done? (I don't have Linux command line experience.)

Also, as long as you're helping me with that, I now have 4 1TB harddrives in my Dell PowerEdge 20 plus the memory stick, but under the File Systems in the GUI it shows that I have seven devices:

/dev/disk/by-uuid/1824999724997908 ntfs
/dev/disk/by-uuid/1824999724997908 ntfs
/dev/sda1
/dev/sdb1
/dev/sdc1
/dev/sdd1
/dev/sde1 (this is the memory stick).

none are yet mounted, except for the stick.

I can't seem to do anything with those first two. Any idea what they may be and how to handle them? I was thinking maybe they are old partitions on the drives, but I reformatted all the drives to ext4.

The WebGUI is incredibly unstable. I have a very high speed connection on my network, and have tried the DHCP and Static setups. It continuously has erroneous errors and communication errors. Also, when a command is issued from it, there is no indication that anything is happening so you don't know where it is in process. Unbelievably poor WebGUI. Hope someone improves this thing one of these days.

Delete that file. This is why I update OMV to the lastest version from command line before doing anything in the web interface.

Uh, I can't tell what file to delete, and I don't know how to delete a file. Any help would be appreciated. Is the newer version 3 more stable than version 2.2.10?

Well, I understand that I'm a bit challenging, but I came into this extremely cold, with no understanding or knowledge of any kind of Linux. So I think the filename is dirtymodules.json, but I don't know what a delete command looks like, and once I know what that command is, whether I would put in the whole path (I guess it's a path) of /var/lib/openmediavault/dirtymodules.json or just dirtymodules.json. So if you could tell me exactly what that command would look like, I'd sure appreciate it.

BTW, I went ahead and invoked the Upgrade of all Package Information last night before going to bed (and after setting my GUI to stay on perpetually) and now I only have one update file, which is libsystemd-login0 44-11+deb7u5. I had an all day appointment, and when I got home there was this constant error of not being able to delete or see some tmp file. I closed the log, rebooted the system, and only have that file left to install.

Now I think that much of my angst with updating was not just letting the unnamed errors just flow through. There were literally hundreds of lines of Error surrounded by asterisks. I eventually realized that this doesn't mean anything and just let the process flow. I have gotten used to just ignoring these unexplained errors that keep popping up in the GUI.

So now my system is nearly all updated, except for that systemd login file, and all of the omv-extras are in the system. I have installed my disks, but had a question out there regarding two extra "devices" I can't explain - five drives (4 1TB HDDs and 1 USB boot-stick - and yes I have loaded flashmemory) result in seven devices:
/dev/disk/by-uuid/1824999724997908 ntfs
/dev/disk/by-uuid/1824999724997908 ntfs
/dev/sda1 ext4
/dev/sdb1 ext4
/dev/sdc1 ext4
/dev/sdd1 ext4
/dev/sde1 ext4

So maybe you can help me with these two things:
1. The actual delete command to delete /var/lib/openmediavault/dirtymodules.json
2. Explain, or help me eliminate, these two /dev/disk/by-uuid devices

Thanks

Did you mount two ntfs drives and then unplug them without unmounting them?

I had four 1TB drives in my old HP MediaSmart Server running Windows Home Server software. The server box died, but the drives were still good. Once I successfully installed OMV to the USB thumb drive and upgraded to version 2.2.10, I installed the four drives into the new box. My thought is that I should be able to reformat those drives to whatever is needed for OMV. There was no option in the old, dead, box for unmounting and I haven't come across anything in the new box for unmounting. I ran Create in the GUI for making ent4 file systems on each of the drives, which I thought I did successfully.

I think that those two 'phantom' devices are leftovers from the NTFS that may have existed on the original boot drive, but really don't know. I don't know about mounting or unmounting. Is there a way to reformat the drives from this system? Is there somewhere you would recommend to teach me about these things?

Thanks

Yeah, I thought I had done that, but am doing it again just to be sure. With all the unnamed errors that the WebGUI generates (mentioned in my other thread from today) I'm never sure if the process completes or not. But I'll keep trying.

Am I right in assuming that if I Wipe the disk and then give them EXT4, that they should have been cleaned of any remaining NTFS?

And are there CLI commands for wiping and formatting the disks? And for identifying them?
