Upgrade to 0.5 oder fresh install ?

1. offizieller Beitrag

    Hi.
    I'm running OMV 0.4.38 with an 8x3TB raid5.
    After a Discfailure I can't recover my raid, because always after about 50% recovering OMV sets a 2nd disc as faulty spare an the raid is degraded.
    I can force a reassembling an acces my data again, but the recovery fails again after about 50%.
    I have a backup of all my data, so i can delete the raid and build a new (with 2 new discs instead of the faulty).
    But this time I'll use a raid6.
    So, when I have to make everthing new I can also upgrade to OMV 0.5
    But what is the best way ?
    I only use Plexmediaserver and SABNzbd on the server.
    I would prefer a fresh install, but is it possible to keep my plex database and my SAB-settings ?
    The plex database is located on the datadiscs of my raid. Can I backup the plexmediaserver-folder and put it back after the new install ?

    i recently installed kralizec.
    its gonna be (as far as i know) the 1.0 of OMV and its based on debian wheezy.


    Plex is installable. allready did that.
    SABnzbd shouldnt give any problem to.


    i tried using my old pley database - but it wont let me. have to redo everything.


    Just install debian 7.5 and use those commands to install OMV


    Code
    echo "deb http://packages.openmediavault.org/public kralizec main" >>/etc/apt/sources.list.d/openmediavault.list
apt-get update
apt-get install openmediavault-keyring postfix
apt-get update
apt-get install openmediavault


    before i did, i tested everything on a VBOX

    I also thought about installing kralizec.
    But i want to have a stable nas.
    It takes to much time to copy about 18tb data from backup to nas in case of a failure (my system only has usb 2.0 ports, no space to install 3.0 card).
    Also building my plexmedia database has taken a lot of time, so I would like to keep it in the new installed system (if possible).

    Kralizec is very stable. I'm running it on everything now (six systems). The web interface may have a couple of glitches but nothing that affects stability.

    OK, I'm downloading the debian 7.5 dvd-iso's at the moment.
    What do I have to install from it to get omv kralizec running ?
    I want to keep the system as small as possible an not install packages i don't need for omv, plex and sabnzbd.

    Just the minimal setup. OMV will install the dependencies it needs.

    What glitches Ryeco? The only I have is with customizing the shutdown screen.


    I just said "may" and that will probably come from plugins :)

    Hmmm, f... I just can't install debian 7.5.
    Got the same problem i had when i tried to install omv 0.4 a year ago.
    My configuration:
    HP DataVault X510 Server, 500GB external USB-HD as systemdrive (the internal SATA slots will be used for the raid).


    I've installed debian 7.5 in minimal configuration with no errors.
    When I try to boot the system the 1st time I get:


    GRUB loading
    Welcome to GRUB!
    error: invalid extend.
    Entering rescue mode...
    grub rescue>


    When I boot the system with GParted I can see 2 partitions: sda1: ext4 (~480GB) and sda5 swap (~8GB)
    I can also mount the sda1 an see the files.


    I tried to boot with SuperGrub2 Disk, but it doesn't find any grub.cfg, menu entry or anything else.


    Also trying Grubdoctor from the GParted disk runs to the same error.


    How can I manage to boot my system from this disk ?


    I had the same problem when installing OMV 0.4. The only way I could handle this was installing on a 80GB HD. Install on a 500GB HD didn't work.


    regards

    Sounds like a bios issue with booting from usb. Does it boot from usb when using the 80 GB drive?

    yes, without any problem.


    Now I tried to boot from debian-dvd - rescue mode.
    I could set the root to sda1 and run a shell.
    I did "grub-install /dev/sda" -> no errors
    "update-grub" -> grub.cfg was build with 2 menu entries.
    Boot again: same error like before.
    Even the supergrub2-disk doesn'd find the generated grub-cfg....

    You might need to install grub instead of grub2. If that doesn't work, maybe lilo would.

    I found an old 60gb USB-Disk an tried an install on this one: boots without any problems (Don't want to use the 80gb, because it contains my workin omv 0.4....)


    I don't want to use this disk because it is very old an I don't know how long it will live.....


    Can you tell me how to install the grub loader to the system (without installing everything new) ?
    I can still bot from DVD in discovery mode and open a shell in sda1.


    Or is there any other reason why it boots from the 60gb disk and not from 500gb ?

    • Offizieller Beitrag

    Not sure. Maybe a bios limitation for bootable partition size. I would curious to see if the 500gb drive worked with a 40gb OS partition.


    You should be able to boot in rescue mode and:
    apt-get install grub

    OK, I#m shure it's not the BIOS.
    I some testing and installed Win7 to the 500gb disk -> starts without problems.
    Now I installed debian 7.5 again (letting the installer use the hole disk -> grub error
    Installed debian again, only using 240gb as ext4 an 10gb as swap -> boots without problems !!


    So, it seems debian has a problem to boot from bigger usb-disks....

    OK, kralizec is running.
    I'll leave the partitionsize at 240gb, should be enough :)


    But i got still one problem: in sources.list is an entry for the installation-cd as resource, and when I try to install things via apt-get I always have to put in the cd.
    How can I change this ?
    The sources.list is write-protected and even as root user (owner) I can't change the rights or write changes to the file.
