  • HPE Proliant Servers

    On my Gen8, i made 2 different setups from scratch.


    1st one, with 4 x 4 TB HDD connected on 1.2.3.4 th port, and 1 SSD (5th port, instead of CD/DVD drive). => OMV2, then OMV3 upgrade. Works fine.


    2nd setup, with HP smartarray p410 card, and 4 HDD connected on it with miniSAS/SATA cables. The Same SSD but this time, connected on 1st SATA port of Motherboard. Works fine too.

    Hi,
    Connect only your SSD on your Gen8, then, activate in Bios, AHCI (not raid).
    Install OMV on the SSD. Restart.
    After that, OMV will boot on your SSD, without volume raid. Then, with OMV you will be able to create your volume.

    Hi guys,


    i try a lot of things to avoid this email notification, and this is what i did:


    https mode
    cookies accepted in FF and Chrome, cookies are kept in CCleaner. cleaning cache
    at each login, i must enter id/pwd. But cookies are on my pc.
    Id/pwd deleted on Chrome/FF, and logout then login. No asking to save id/pwd in FF or Chrome (??)


    switch to http
    deleting cookies, to be sure. cleaning cache too.
    and 1st login, entering id/pwd, then asking to save pwd, then i can see a new cookie in CCleaner and FF and Chrome. Keeping this cookie set in CCLeaner. And FF/Chrome setting: keep cookie til their expiration.
    logout, then login: in login window, my informations are there, YES... login, then logout. And again.


    and i always receive my email login notification...


    So, what i had to do to avoid this issue was to uncheck receiving notification, to choose http instead of https.


    it is not normal or acceptable for me. I have no issue like that on others web site, with 2FA or not.


    what i want to know is if it is my PC settings, my OMV settings or a



    fyi, i have this on all my OMV 3.0.99 (even in fresh OMV4.0, but now, i own only OMV3.0.99, i uninstall OMV4.)


    these actions are made on new fresh OMV install (from scratch, new ssd).


    what is the next try ? i would like to understand. Of course, all my OMVs work very fine, this is only this annoying thing i have.


    thanks for your ideas or help :)


    edit: in the cookie, i can read this:

  • Remove "Shared Folder" from Backup Plugin how?

    hi,
    to see where are the used references, you can use resetperms plugin present in omv-extra.


    in my case, when i was in same situation, to remove a shared folder used in backup plugin, i create a new share folder on another present disk, just for temporary use.
    them, older shared folder previously used by backup plugin was not referenced by backup plugin, but always by shared folders.
    then, i delete this shared folder, in shares section, and then, no reference to it was present. i was able to delete it.


    i also use different ways, like uninstall plugin just to see changes, but not the right way.


    in omv 4, i was also in situation that i can not delete some filesystem because always referenced somewhere, with resetperms i could see it, but not able to change it.


    there is a topic where the solution about editing config.xml and delete some lines to fix that.
    :)

  • raid 5 with 2 disks possible?

    hello,
    raid5 starts only from 3 disks.
    Maybe you should able to start from Raid1 (2 discs) and then, transform to raid5 by adding Third disc.
    in this case, i 'd rather choose raid5 with 3 disks starting from scratch.

    Hi,
    about cookies, there is no cookie problem with HTTP. The 1st time i connect, i can save cookie.
    in HTTPs, for a local network use only, there is some security error message i can pass through, with special rule in FF or Chrome, but cookie is not saved. With 3.0.99 (and previous version) and with 4.x version.
    i clean cache on all browsers i have. i check kaspersky rules/settings too.
    then:


    is it a https issue ? is it just on my pc ? (i can try under Mac os, or Centos). I can not add certificat because to do that, it needs to be seen from outside (Let's Encryt or equal).


    is there anything i would have missed ?

  • Upgrade 3.x -> 4.x Procedure

    Hi all,
    back to 3.0.99 on all my NAS.
    I prefer homogeneous NAS.
    I don't see improvement with 4.1 version for my use, but some difficulties, or different settings to work properly.
    I will try in a few months 4.x
    thanks all.

  • Wrong Filesystem Ext4 size on raid 5 array created then expanded, extended (HP smart array card p410i)

    Quote from subzero79

    You better put the server down and boot systemrescuecd iso to launch gparted and proceed with partition resize.

    ok thanks subzero79, i did a lot of gparted actions on Hdds, but never on raid 5 Partition. if there was not data on it, i would try a lot of actions, but, in this case, i am on such thin ice :)


    more secure to backup all datas before doing anything else. After that, gparted on boot :)

  • Wrong Filesystem Ext4 size on raid 5 array created then expanded, extended (HP smart array card p410i)

    Code
    (parted) resizepart
Partition number? 1
Warning: Partition /dev/sda1 is being used. Are you sure you want to continue?
Yes/No? yes
End?  [16,0TB]? 16
Warning: Shrinking a partition can cause data loss, are you sure you want to continue?

    i don't know if parted works like gparted (i suppose yes, but no experience on cli). afraid to do a silly action.
    as you can see, i can't go above 16TB.


    what i remember with my other NAS (19tb), i create the full raid array with 8 HDDs and with 19tb, i format it with OMV.


    and yes, in a next future i will add one or two disks, so, i 'm wondering if i would wait til i have all the Hdds.

  • Wrong Filesystem Ext4 size on raid 5 array created then expanded, extended (HP smart array card p410i)

    Hi,


    This is a new enigmatic situation for me, with one of my NAS.


    my concerned NAS:


    OMV 3.0.99, OS on SSD, HP Smart array P410i card with 5 x 4TB HDD, and with motherboard sata ports, 3 hdds used as single partition each.


    Raid 5 created and managed by HP smart array card P410i with FWBC 1Gb, Logical Volume ~14.5TB seen by OMV, device /dev/sdb1/ EXT4 formatted by OMV3.


    Everything works fine, ssh, ftp, samba, omv-extras, HWraid plugin, HPraid infos, shared folders.


    ssh connection and df -h command i can see /dev/sda1 15T 12T 3,2T 79% /srv/dev-disk-by-label-NAS.... and i see same thing on OMV webgui and same value from Windows 10 browser.



    New step:
    A few days ago, i install a new 4TB HDD on the array, i used HP ACU and ran a few successive commands to Expand, Transforming, Parity Progression, and then extend the logical volume to 18.2TB. Parity 100% complete.


    with HP tools (ssacli, hpacucli) i can see this

    Code
    Smart Array P410 in Slot 1
   Array A
      Logical Drive: 1
         Size: 18.2 TB


    I thought it was finished.


    i restart system.


    OMV displays the same physical disk "Logical Volume" with 18.19TB size on left menu "Storage/Physical Disks".
    OMV displays the previous size of partition in the left menu "Storage/File Systems", /dev/sda1 NAS_genna Ext4 14.44 TB 3,14 TB 11.29 TB Mounted...
    previously, i delete every references, to unmount, if it is the right thing to do. but not enough.


    Resizing does not work for this. I mount/unmount, delete share folders (without contents), i can unmount it because there is no reference to any shared folder... i shutdown and went to HP ACU ... size is ok, raid 5 status is ok.


    I thought HP utility will grow up the volume itself without any other command. It did it. But OMV doesn't use this new space/volume.


    as i do not use mdadm for this raid, i am not able to use it.


    i have another NAS with a volume 19.3 TB formatted by OMV, managed with p410i too... so , i don't think there is a strange limit.


    I don't want to loose any data with a inappropriate command.


    I don't know if i have to run resize2fs or not. Is it just a single partition resizing to do ?


    partprobe displays that i don't use the full capacity.
    fdisk -l displays :


    Code
    Disk /dev/sda: 18,2 TiB, 20003765968896 bytes, 39069855408 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 4096 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 4096 bytes / 4096 bytes
Disklabel type: gpt


Device     Start         End     Sectors  Size Type
/dev/sda1   2048 31255884430 31255882383 14,6T Linux filesystem

    can you help me ? it seems i need another command to extend like gparted can do on single hdd.


    thanks.


    edit:


    i search on forum how to grow Ext4...
    i run this:
    resize2fs -p /dev/sda1
    and as result, i was informed that i need to run this first : e2fsck -f /dev/sda1
    i ran again resize2fs -p /dev/sda1 and i got this :


    Code
    resize2fs 1.43.3 (04-Sep-2016)


Le système de fichiers a déjà 3906985297 blocs (4k). Rien à faire ! (Nothing to do).

    nothing has changed. is there a limit or a link with -O 64bit when i created the 1st partition (size under 16TB) ?
    Do i have to re-create the Volume ?

  • Upgrade 3.x -> 4.x Procedure

    hello, it's me again :(


    since i use OMV4, i was not able to see my shared folders from mediaplayer.
    To deal with this situation that did not suit me, i add this ntlm auth = yes in Services/SMB-CIFS/Advanced Setting/extra options.


    Under Win10-64, with my usual filebrowser, browsing network, i can see now this \\nas-genna.home in addition to my smb shared folders.


    why ?


    thanks

  • Upgrade 3.x -> 4.x Procedure

    now it is in my list too.
    ok for sda/sdb... thanks :) i use gparted frequently. There is no mistake, except if i drunk ^^, between my ssd and my raid array ;)


    in fact, i will wipe my OS drive, to have a very clean system... except all my datas on raid volume, managed by HP card.

  • Upgrade 3.x -> 4.x Procedure

    Quote from ryecoaaron

    Install the resetperms plugin and it will put a "Sharedfoldes in Use" tab in the shared folders section to show you exactly what is using it. That said, disabling a plugin doesn't remove the reference to shared folder. You either have to delete the share or set the shared folder to none (not possible in some plugins) or remove the plugin.
    Isn't sda1 your OS drive?


    Hello ryecoaaron, thank you for your answer. i will install this plugin.
    to install it, i was going to plugin section, and no resetperms plugin present. i install it from cli with theses 2 lines (OMV 3 erasmus plugin ?)
    wget https://dl.bintray.com/openmediavault-plugin-developers/erasmus/pool/main/o/openmediavault-resetperms/openmediavault-resetperms_3.3_all.deb
    dpkg -i openmediavault-resetperms_3.3_all.deb


    => exactly where i use theses 3 folders... ftp, smb and backup, anywhere else (new tabs, reset and shared folders in use).


    (to be sure, does it exist a omv 4 plugins list ?)


    sdb1 is my os drive actually. does it matter this order ?



    I have another question:
    i unmount this partition and keep it safe (raid partition created/managed by HP raid card).
    if i see only my ssd, then, i wipe it, then i reinstall all my NAS from scratch, and then i add the saved partition, will it work properly ?

  • Upgrade 3.x -> 4.x Procedure

    Hi,


    i have always some little troubles with OMV4. My question is at the end of this message :)


    situation:
    So yesterday i wanted to see how i can unmount my /dev/sda1 (filesystemtype=ext4, from HP smart array raid card). (what i wanted to do is to have only my OS ssd seen in OMV, to wipe it, and then, reinstall 3.x or 4).
    to do that, i need to have no reference.
    i use 3 shared folders, 2 of them in FTP and SMB, 1 for backup plugin.
    i disable smb, ftp, uninstall backup plugin, omv-extras... every single part i thought there is a link...
    and i can't un-reference my /dev/sda1, i always see "reference=yes".


    question:
    how can i see which part of OMV uses my partition or my shared folders ?



    thanks
