snapraid diff ** CONNECTION LOST **

Hey niemer, try the latest dev branch (which I'm about to release btw). Recently, a small issue with OMV7 has been reported

I still haven't tested OMV7, let me know if it works.

Haha, that's me 😉

Also, last night the script seems to have at least started, it's not yet finished as of right now.

Can you check the log and see what it is doing?

auanasgheps this change you accepted doesn't make any sense. It is adding the config path argument but the variable is never populated. With the diff script in the plugin, it is populated by a config file passed as argument to the script call because multiple snapraid arrays are supported in the v7 plugin (and v6.2.1). Each array has its own config file.

I'll add instructions how to configure it. Additionally, if here's only one array we should be fine I guess.

niemer run cat /proc/meminfo and see how much you have left.

Hi,
I just wanted to update you on the scenario of OMV7 + AIO SnapRAID script, because I finally had the chance to look at it.

I don't know if this was already present before our discussion, but in /etc/snapraid there's a symlink called snapraid.conf.

In case there's only one array, which I believe fits most of the users, the symlink works perfectly and there's no need to set the specific configuration name.

I am updating the default config file with this path, adding a comment that points to the the previous one, which is also the default SnapRAID path.

I've also implemented a check for the SnapRAID configuration itself. Until now only the AIO script configuration was checked; if SnapRAID's config file would be missing, the script would abruptly terminate like in this discussion. Hopefully this will help!

I don't believe that's totally correct, the symlink is named whatever you named your array, in my case it's SnapARRAY.conf

I was pretty standard and I called my array... snapraid. lol

Thanks for clarifying

Thats what my array is called as well First: Thank you for the script! It's really awesome.

I've tried to use the dev branch but it still wont work:

## Preprocessing
SnapRAID is not running, proceeding.
SnapRAID configuration file not found. The script cannot be run! Please check your settings, because the specified file /etc/snapraid.conf does not exist.

What I see is that the folder should be /etc/snapraid/... and not just /etc?

Thank you for the kind words

If you open the script config file, you will find this new section:

# SnapRAID configuration file location. The default path works on most
# installations, including OMV6.
# If you're using OMV7, you must manually specify your config file, which is
# located in /etc/snapraid/
# SNAPRAID_CONF="/etc/snapraid/snapraid.conf"
SNAPRAID_CONF="/etc/snapraid.conf"

We are working on a solution that will automatically pick the SnapRAID config file if there's only one, but it's not ready yet. In the meantime, you have to make this configuration.

Aaah, thats why I couldnt find it In the older version it was right at the bottom! Thanks Should have read the whole thing..sorry !

That did the trick.

[edit]

There was an error after all.. Running it from the schedulded task GUI in OMV 7 I get:

./root/Scripts/snapraid-aio-script.sh: line 791: [: : integer expression expected

I've created this issue on github, let's discuss it there so we don't go off topic here.
