  • [Tutorial][Experimental][Third-party Plugin available]Reducing OMV's disk writes, also to install it on USB flash

    I didn´t know that static and dynamic differences exists. An external SSD is to expensive for me, and i found no parts from my distributors. For the mony i can use an external small USB Disk. Or i will better try to find a way to install System and Data on one Hard Disk.


    Edit: ah i found the mushkin flux... and this ssd https://www.wave-distribution.…-GB/html/product/1086867?


    Thank you

  • [Tutorial][Experimental][Third-party Plugin available]Reducing OMV's disk writes, also to install it on USB flash

    I have now the same problem. I uses an Intel Nuc Kit 2820 with a WD Red 2,5" as data and an USB Stick (Patriot Sparc USB 3.0 16GB) for system. Unfortunately the stick has died within less then 2 months.


    I don´t know what to do. Using a new stick which uses wear leveling ( http://patriotmemory.com/support/faq1p.jsp?id=228 ) , or using your script here or trying to get all together (System and Data) on the one 2,5" WD Red?

  • Owncloud 7 setup guide Qustions

    Maybe a basic owncloud question, but when i configure "external storage" it seems to be a bad idea to choose something like
    "/media/9089bc71-ad74-44fc-a9df-87605e247dba/OwnCloud" which is also the plugins data folder.
    If i do so, i get full access to all folders, that means including all user folders. Apps like owncloudpro will get in trouble and can´t use direct picture/video upload any more.


    And correct me if i am wrong, i don´t need external storage. But it seems to replace the not working shared folder from omv plugin. So we only need it, when we want to add shared folders or extra storage. This was not clearly spoken in your guide, or just i don´t know enough of owncloud :/ till now.

  • Owncloud 7 setup guide Qustions

    for me the guide works fine, i am very happy about it. So once again aplause to tekkb :thumbup:


    Although i am not sure what happens when an update will be installed, what´s about all the manual modifications?



    Whats with the manual version setting in config.php?


    Owncloud admin menu gives me a version info "stable 7.0.3" whereas in config.php without doing anything by myselve it´s 7.0.3.4


    Is it really nessesary to change it in 7.0.3 ?

  • can't get owncloud

    Did you really removed everything from your old setup? On your new setup you used standard network share parameters? Don´t use any additional acls. Your OMV is up to date before installing the plugin? Everyting was ok when installing the plugin? Are you sure?


    For me i the setup guide works fine.

  • Owncloud 1.1.3 , can´t write into config directory

    Sorry for the late answer, but i tried it latestly with ipfire where the addon owncloud is running without problems.
    Now with the last update of owncloud i give it another try with omv.


    I deleted the share folder in the owncloud service, and also the data share. After this i created a new share folder owncloud and activated owncloud with this as data folder. but unfortunately i still have the same permission error.
    owner and group is www-data ...


    I´am sorry but your second part is not understandable for me.

    Quote

    You can enable and folder on your machine via the External Storage plugin. You enable this plugin in the apps section and then go into the admin section. Then under External Storage you can choose local from the drop down and put in the path of one of your local shares you want to use in ownCloud.

    Maybe this is all inside of owncloud?


    At least, i can´t see the login screen, i see directly " can´t write into config directory"


    But what i see is, that the whole path of var/www/owncloud is openmediafault:openmediafault instead of www-data:www-data .
    So is it right to set all of var/www/owncloud to www-data? or only the config directory?
    After i did

    Code
    chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/owncloud


    and i get a new installation error:

    Code
    Your web server is not yet properly setup to allow files synchronization because the WebDAV interface seems to be broken.


			Please double check the installation guides.

  • Owncloud 1.1.3 , can´t write into config directory

    I did with some minor problems an upgrade to kralizec. I had owncloud installed but never used before. I needed to remove the old owncloud plugin for getting successfully installed kralizec. After that i reinstalled the owncloud 1.1.3 plugin, activated it, added a new share and data storage for it and enabled it.


    Now i can open the webif of owncloud, but i get an error like:


    "Can't write into config directory


    This can usually be fixed by giving the webserver write access to the config directory."

    Did i forget to activate a permission in OMV ? Or shall i do the steps of the link above?

  • what uses extensive my memory?

    tonight i noticed after parallel data copy over smb (from 3 computers to my omv over smb cifs) i noticed a dramatically raised memory consumption. And although i assigned 1GB to my Guest OMV it uses the swap. Not good! But why?


    In the tasks i can´t seen nothing what uses so much memory.


    Maybe its my activated minidlna plugin? Because i copied many pictures tonight.
    I can´t see it in tasks!

  • Fresh Installation is loosing network connection

    i worked something more on my network setting. First i modified my host and guest with jensk hints:


    Quote

    If you haven't then tune your elevator model for virtualisation in the guest VM by editing /etc/default/grub. In the line GRUB_COMMAND_LINE_DEFAULT insert


    Code: Select all
    transparent_hugepage=always elevator=noop


    then i configured a new br1 on my host similar like before, but on eth3. This one i assigned to omv with virtio again and disabled passtrough. And i corrected the network statistics, so i can make a screenshot.


    the results are much better. Maybe not the level like i would have an optimal working passtrough, but it´s faster like every other setting before.


    First my copy test from a WD Red 3TB single HDD over Host eth0 to Guest br1 with virtio to my IBM Raid 5 with 3 Seagate SV35 ST3000VX000 3 TB:



    Next a copy test from my old sbs2003 raid adaptec 2820SA with 6 * 1 TB WD RE4 (1 Hot Spare) as Raid 5:



    I am not sure if this is a good throughput for a 1Gbit Link between old and new server?

  • OMV und Wheezy

    Da warte ich dann auch gespannt drauf, denn meine Hardware streikt ebenso. Insbesondere die Intel Netzwerktreiber vom 82574L im Kernel 3.2 funktionieren nicht richtig. Ständige Einbrüche auf 0 bei aktivem Datentransfer ist doch schon lästig.

  • Fresh Installation is loosing network connection

    i have install the debian backport kernel over OMV-Extras. Thats an easy and good way. But it doesn´t solve the problem entirely. It´s better now, cause the system doens´t restart on high network traffic (and therefor on message network unreachable), but the network still stops responding, when i transfer files over it. It´s also on ssh noticeable. And the performance drop is much, altough i now have around 45% with Cifs from SBS2003. Every few seconds it stops transfering data for several seconds.
    I tried to get 3.5 or newer, but this is not so easy to do, the dependencies are to much.


    My ubuntu host uses 3.8 backports and earlier 3.5. Both of them had no problems with my networkcards.


    I have read, that omv 0.6 is comming in the next days, it will use 3.5 and with backports up to 3.12.


    So i think i can stop working on fixing it.

  • Fresh Installation is loosing network connection

    i have done some research last night.


    we are using debian kernel 2.6.32-5 and i found many regressions with using a Intel 82574L. my host is Ubuntu 12.04 since beginnig using this board, i had never any netwok problems. But Ubuntu uses kernel 3.2 from beginning.
    So is there a chance without making other trouble to use e newer kernel, and when yes which one should i use?


    So before i tune virtio i would like better to passtrough one of my 82574L, because i have to much of them :)

  • Fresh Installation is loosing network connection

    a little update:


    i reactivated power managment, also APM 254 and write cache. Then i changed my eth0 to eth1 as VM Bridge with virtio e1000, the pci passtrough drive from my Tyan S5512GM4NR http://tyan.com/product_SKU_sp…=MB&pid=700&SKU=600000226 with Quad Lan Intel 82574L is the same and has no problems with Kernel 3.5 and above.


    Now i had transfered 12h and around 2TB without brake. So the reboot seems to be network driver related ?


    But now i have a poor performance when i copy from my old raid to the new one. My Gigabit connection from SBS 2003 drops from 50%-30% (whats the maximum for windows is) to less than 35%-15%. The System load is reduced, and also the mem page cache looks different.
    But i don´t have an answer what that means. Why i have now such a poor transfer rate?


    I mean in early testings i had some trouble with older kernel and the networkdriver e1000 had to be installed manually.


    But now i cant see network statistics, because eth0 isn´t present. How can i change this?


    Lets have a look on the statistics for comparision:

  • Fresh Installation is loosing network connection

    It´s also noticeable, that the wachtdog, needs much CPU consumption(around 20-40%)
    the copyspeed is really slow, much slower than expectet.
    i got aound 130 Mbit/sec starting, but later on ist falls back < 20Mbit.
    the raid xor cpu is vent cooled.
    the overview cpu useage show a load when copying for around 50%, htop also. Normally i would expect values <15% for copying with these Raid and CPU

  • Fresh Installation is loosing network connection

    Hi,
    first of all, thanks for the great pice of Distri. It was easy to install and setup.


    I have a problem, where i ´am not sure if it comes from using KVM on 12.04.3 with passtroughing network and ibm Serveraid M5015 with 3 WD Red 3 TB harddisk on it.
    Everything seems to works, CIFS, NFS with avahi to VDR. only owncloud and lvm is activated, on the serveraid i defined a lvm with omv.


    Failure:
    - when i copy a large amount of data to the omv attatched lvm it runs for about 1 hour, then the network connection is refused, copyprocess is brocken and stopped
    - it doesn´t matter if copying over cifs or nfs


    What i found in log:

    Code
    Jan 14 09:03:49 omv kernel: [    2.832747] PM: Starting manual resume from disk
Jan 14 09:03:49 omv kernel: [    2.832749] PM: Resume from partition 254:5
Jan 14 09:03:49 omv kernel: [    2.832750] PM: Checking hibernation image.
Jan 14 09:03:49 omv kernel: [    2.832816] PM: Error -22 checking image file
Jan 14 09:03:49 omv kernel: [    2.832818] PM: Resume from disk failed.


    i have disabled pm for hdd, and in powermanagment i also disabled monitoring.




    Why are here white spaces? Where do they come from? These are exactly at the times where i tried to copy my old archiv to the new omv.


    What i also donßt understand in log and doesn´t look normal:


    Some Memory Problems or a resource Limit?, followed of an reboot? But why? is that done by a watchdog?



    Maybe anyone of you have a suggestion or solution?


    Thx
