  • [SOLVED] hang after install

    Well I checked with live CD and it definately installed on the right drive, I just cant get it to boot for some reason. I tried all the drives in the BIOS settings and none work (hdd-0,1,2,3,SCSI) other settings are just tings like LAN and USB.

  • [SOLVED] hang after install

    Yeah I have 4 other drives in there. You saying maybe its trying to boot off the wrong drive?
    Its the same drive WHS boot off of with no problems, not sure how that could have been switched around?

  • [SOLVED] hang after install

    So after playing with OMV in a VM I decided to go ahead and install it on my old 32bit WHSv1 server.
    I installed it off the CD onto what was previously the WHS system drive.
    It says it installed successfully and to remove the CD and press enter to reboot.
    I do so and it reboots and I get to the end of the post process where it says Verifying DMI pool data and then it just hangs.
    I am not a super experienced Linux admin-type so I am not sure what to try. Any ideas?


    edit: i have a debian LIVE CD I made beforehand so i could test if the hardware worked which it did, which is why i felt OK installing it. I can also use this to help fix it I guess, but I'm not sure what to try exactly.


    edit2: With Debian LIVE i am able to mount the drive and can see the FS and whatnot, looks OK. I looked at /var/log/dmesg but it is empty not sure what else to look at, nothing seems relevant.

  • Greyhole plugin on Fedaykin

    Quote from "ryecoaaron"

    Not sure about greyhole support. Marcel can answer that. If you edit smb.conf and then edit samba setting using the web interface, it is going to overwrite the changes. I haven't setup greyhole before so I can't help much beyond that. Yes, you could maintain smb.conf for greyhole and samba manually. I think there are still plenty of other things the web interface is useful for.


    Thank you. Yes, the problem is greyhole requires two settings in the smb.conf [global] section, unix extentions=no and wide links=yes. Now every time I use the Web GUI, it reverts those back to yes and no respectively. I tried putting them in the "extra options" section of the GUI, but then they appear in the smb.conf twice, with both yes and no values. The extra options entries DO appear below the incorrect entries, so I am wondering if it comes later in the file it will override the earlier values or will cause problems.


    Regardless I guess the best solution would to have checkboxes for those values in the Samba Web GUI.

  • Greyhole plugin on Fedaykin

    Is there any update on when this is coming, I have had uninstall my plugin and just use the shell to keep stuff updated.



    I am trying to manage greyhole from CLI like you, but notice if i change anything to SAMBA share with the Web GUI, it will mess up smb.conf and remove all the changes I made for greyhole. So how do you do changes to SAMBA, just editing the smb.conf directly? (seems to make web gui pointless)
