The command "sudo apt purge omv-flashmemory --dry-run" say --> impossible to find the plugin omv-flashmemory

I uninstalled flashmemory and reactivate the writecache before reboot (oups sorry).

But now it seems to be allright

VERY THANKS TO ALL FOR YOUR SUPPORT !!!

Quote from Soma

Did you had or have the flashmemory plugin installed?

This was more an issue with it.

And if it still installed, you should have removed it and purged before installing the writecache plugin

Okey Soma, you have the right way !!!!! :-):-):-):-):-):-):-):-):-):-):-)

You right, I make many check and detect you are on the rignt way, the problem is caused by folder2ram with usage of "tmpfs". --> like the plugin flashmemory !!!

I uninstall this plugin and make a new restart, all ok now.

Is the plugin have an update this 2 last week ?! I don't know, but this is the reason of my problem --> NOW SOLVED

Tested now, restart not work, I have to recreate the access.log for nginx.

But, this time I receive 3 mail from OMV at start :

1) after restart

Hi all, thanks for your help and reply

Yes, I have the plugin "flashmemory", from long time and no problem with it before when I have to restart (change hdd, or other actions).

These last days, I had to restart because hdd defect and noticed this "bug"

I never had this "bug" before, the only new install from last weeks is the plugin "writecache", this is the reason I ask you if this is the cause ?!...

The reason I'm asking about this plugin too is this config (actually I deactivate the plugin, but don't have tested a restart) I can make this if you think is necessary (I think is necessary to take a feedback yes :-))

Hi,From recently, every time I have to restart my server, all functions are ok, but not possible to have the login page GUI (dosn't exist).

After test, I discover that I have to do 2 things :

sudo mkdir /var/log/nginx

and create

Quote

sudo touch /etc/var/log/nginx/access.log

Any idea ?

Is the writecache plugin do that ? I installed recently

Thanks in advance at all

Best regards

I make :

sudo apt remove openmediavault-hosts
sudo apt remove openmediavault-apt

and it's ok

I have access to the GUI :-):-):-):-):-):-):-):-):-)

THANKS YOU

I don't absolutly really need all, I can remove this 2 plugins.

How can I make it properly with terminal ? I don't want make anything to make false in this case

The good command ?

This can solve my problem ?

Thanks you very much for your help

Hi,

I have probably the same problem.

Unable to login OMV, error appear

This appear only after a search for update and install apt-tool in the web interface GUI (with connection lost on information terminal)

omv-firstaid to renew the workbench password, but no change, and no access to my web interface. No error in the config file

OMV seems to be active, kvm and share are ok and accessible...

I receive this mail alert

Do you have any ID ?

#apt install --reinstall openmediavault not work too

Thanks you for you help about my cron problem and Thanks you for your support !

I hope to recover ~70/~80% of my data.

I think I'm going to have many hours sorting through the recovered data

In another side I will say that Openmediavault is the best OS to manage home server, very applause for your work and passion about this !!!

Bests regards

You are a GOD

I make this now, without restart the error go out !!!

Thanks you very much for your quick help and reactivity !!!

Now I'm going to check all retrieved files with R-Linux on my backup, I lost monday all my 40 years data on 30 sec because I make a faulty command. the problem was the command make rm -rf on all /srv/dev* and at the same moment all my HDD backup were connected on the server (include external usb HDD) ... after the new réinstall omv 7x (from 4.x)

I'm terribly angry with myself and myself

Like this ?

Thanks you in advance

Hi everyone,

I have a big lost of data (that's my fault) with a faulty command rm-rf.

Actually I am restoring all data from a backup, but the backup are connected to the server when a make the faulty command.

omv work fine I thing, but the only thing a have trouble is the cron, I don't know why, but I have this error when I want apply/save configuration (after adding or delete schedule task is the same thing) (see the capture)

Do you have a solution to solve this ? Or restore this function correctly ?

Thanks in advance (and sorry for my bad english, I speak french normally)

weakref.py is just a warning. Ignore it.

If you want, you can solve this "warning" with this command from SSH (with sudo if necessary) :

Hi,

I test OMV6 on a VM and in my test environment, impossible to configure services (FTP, SSH, RSYNC, SMB, etc...)...

Hello FeraTechInc,

Like this ? Just rename without the .png at the end

And install it manually from interface, that's easy.

Very thanks for your help, I appreciate.

I add this like that directly on interface (it seem work) :

I understand your opinion about upgrade, and I really think you are right.

People have to make upgrade for security, usage and support product.

When the OMV 6.x release for prod (non for test) , it's a possibility for me to upgrade system with fresh install. Because my plan is to migrate all server to proxmox and using OMV only for stockage after.

Bests Regards to you and all forum

Hi thanks for your response.

I have disable bintray repo to stop the failed update, that's ok

Previously I make a backup of all plugin for the 4.x version from Bintray to my server.

I don't want upgrade because 4x work fine with many modifications from me, and i like to use Virtualbox with integration on OMV.

Perhaps in the futur i test the OMV 6.x and upgrade...

Quote from ryecoaaron

"the 3.x, 4.x, and 5.x repos are on github if someone wants to manually change the repo."

Ok thanks, can you please tell us the exact url for this manually update ? Whis this we can add the repo manually on omv-extra.

Thanks in advance

Thanks you Macom, I will test this on a VM and if ok make upgrade...

Thanks for your response, Best Regards
