OMV 3.0 after OMV 2.0

Zitat von ryecoaaron

omv-mkconf monit
apt-get -f install

Ran the codes. Here are the results.

Errors were encountered while processing:
openmediavault
Creating index of upgradeable packages ...
Creating index of openmediavault plugins ...
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Should I run that same code for openmediavault?

sounds like a slow stick.

BTW, my stick is a USB 2.0. I had read somewhere (might have been on FreeNAS when I was looking at that) that USB 3.0 was not advised, so I deliberately acquired a 2.0 stick.

After omv 3.0.47 upgrade, errors preventing me from moving forward. I went to omv-firstaid to configure the network interface and got this error message:

ERROR: dialog-like terminated due to an error: the dialog-like program exited with status 3 (which was passed to it as the DIALOG_ERROR environment variable). Sometimes, the reason is simply that dialog was given a height or width parameter that is too big for the terminal in use. Its output, with leading and trailing whitespace stripped, was:

Error: Expected at least 6 tokens for --menu, have 4.
Use --help to list options.

Between this error and the previous one I listed, I don't know what to do at this point.

I don't either. I am really tired of failed upgrades. I think you should install virtualbox on your desktop/laptop and practice installing OMV 3.x on a virtual machine. Then install on real hardware.

Wow. Wasn't expecting that . Is there a way to do a fresh install of 3.0.47 without going through the upgrade process?

Zitat von ryecoaaron

Use the 3.0.36 iso from here. Then update to 3.0.47 from the updates tab.

OK. I'll try that.

Use the 3.0.36 iso from here. Then update to 3.0.47 from the updates tab.

OK. Installed 3.0.36 and it went through the normal installation process, including the host and domain setup. But ifconfig is only showing the lo information, and there is nothing on the eth0. When I run omv-firstaid for network configuration it displays "eth0 Ethernet Connection I217-LM". I take the defaults on the rest of the questions, and the display then says:
"Configuring network interface. Please wait ...
ERROR: address: The value ' ' is not a string."

Any ideas?

So try:

dhclient -v eth0

So what do you know? Something works like you expect it to!

So do I need to invoke something to upgrade omv-firstaid, or just go to the web console and update to 3.0.47, get plugins, install flashmemory, and then ????

omv-update

Woo Hoo!!!! omv-update went through without a hitch!
(also glad that this time I used a USB 3.0 stick )

Now onto the omv-extras.

But one quick question: on the omvextras.org site, the guide says the filename is "openmediavault-omvextrasorg_latest_all3.deb" but your instructions here say just omvextras3.deb. I will go by your instructions, but was curious what the difference is.

omv-update
wget http://omv-extras.org/omvextras3.deb
dpkg -i omvextras3.deb
omv-aptclean
apt-get install openmediavault-flashmemory

then enable flashmemory in web interface.

WOW!!! WOW!!! All of that without a single error or hiccup!!!! Absolutely fantastic!

Now I'll shutdown and plugin all my drives.

dhclient -v eth0

Hmmm ... had to run this again to get access to ethernet.

Zitat von ryecoaaron

See if eth0 shows up in the Network -> Interfaces list. If not, add it, If it does, edit it and save.

Worked perfectly! Rebooted, ran ifconfig and eth0 is now showing. Now I'll setup my HDDs. Stay tuned ...

What does it mean that a disk drive is 'referenced'?

Zitat von ryecoaaron

You have a shared folder created for it or it is being used by a plugin.

Hmmm ... I reinstalled the drives after I went through all the setup and installing the plugins we needed. The drives are currently formatted as ext4 and I want to get them to btrfs. Could it be that the weird UUIDs as NTFS that were showing up under Stone Burner were on that drive? Or that all the bizarre issues I was having and things I was trying, ended up putting something on that drive?
