Does your password have weird characters?

Is it possible that your server hasn't the locales/keyboard configured to match yours?

A simple way to test this is is by using just a simple letters OR numbers only password and try to login.

No weird characters - it's only open to local network access, so it's a simple alpha-numeric password. Password being entered is 'correct'.

I'm wondering if it's something related to my ISP, as this may have occurred around the time I had to contact them to resolve an issue with access to my work VPN, which the newer generation of Sky routers appeared to not play nicely with.

Anyone? Still having this problem.....

Hi folks

Have an issue with logging in to the GUI via my laptops/desktop PCs, which strangely doesn't seem to be impacting on my ability to log in via my iphone browser...

User ID and password are known. Details aren't locked, and I've tried the various options detailed in FAQs with no change.

The error I get is '400 - bad request. Incorrect username or password' but this isn't the case. Have cleared browser cache etc, tried using Edge and Opera, and behaviour is the same.

ETA - I've recently moved house and have a new broadband supplier (Sky) and their router was causing issues with access to my work VPN, which they've done some back end fix to resolve. I mention in case it's possibly related......

Any suggestions? Thanks

Adrian

Run the fix6to7 script if something doesn't look quite right.

Not seen this - presume this is something to run in CLI? Will have a search on the forum....

Noticed that OMV7 is now released formally - is the upgrade process to follow going from 6 to 7 the same as detailed at the start of this thread for going from 5 to 6?

Apologies - I'm only capable of following (very!) simple commands - what do I need to run in CLI to delete the file?

If I look under 'locate' I can find both weekly and monthly entries for the scrub command, and also a daily check for errors (amongst 97 entries that refer to btrfs)

I was getting a daily Anacron e-mail with something along the lines of the following:

/etc/cron.daily/openmediavault-check_btrfs_errors:
Performing an error check on Btrfs file systems.
/etc/cron.daily/openmediavault-check_ssl_cert_expiry:
Perform a check for expired SSL certificates.
/etc/cron.daily/openmediavault-pending_config_changes:
Checking for pending configuration changes.

This morning it's much shorter:

/etc/cron.weekly/openmediavault-scrub_btrfs:
Performing a scrub on Btrfs file systems.

To note this only appeared to start on 25 March, and has been daily since. Nothing prior to that, since Sept '22 when I had an SSL certificate expiry warning

Hi all

When I look at my syslog file, I keep seeing the following message:

Mar 27 08:28:47 openmediavault systemd[1]: Configuration file /etc/systemd/system/docker.service.d/waitAllMounts.conf is marked world-writable. Please remove world writability permission bits. Proceeding anyway.

Mar 27 12:02:06 openmediavault systemd[1]: Configuration file /etc/systemd/system/docker.service.d/waitAllMounts.conf is marked world-writable. Please remove world writability permission bits. Proceeding anyway.

Is this something I should address, and if so how?

Thanks

Adrian

Thanks geaves - that's all it was - I ran the conversion command and it asked me to run a check routine first, which I did, and it did some kind of node optimisation, then ran the 64 bit command which took about 10 minutes. Logged out of systemrescue and into OMV and it's allowed me to grow the file system now, so have a lovely 42% full file system, rather than 80+% full before, with 9.5TB of free space!

Just to add that if I open GParted, the file system looks to have a different partition name of /dev/md127 so maybe it's just that that I need to change from md0?

There's a red and orange triangle with an exclamation mark next to it, but nothing to suggest what it means

I'm a bit stuck with this now - I've downloaded and booted into systemrescue, got the terminal up and running, but when I try and run the command to convert to 64 bit I just get a message saying open: no such file or directory while opening /dev/md0

Doesn't make any odds whether I try and unmount or mount the file system - if I try and unmount dev/md0 it says no mount point specified, and if I try to mount it it says can't find in /etc/fstab

All suggestions gratefully received!

Did you setup the drive in terms of smart monitoring and caching etc before starting to move files onto the second drive?

I’ve recently finished swapping out 4 drives and rebuilding RAID array after each drive install. The one time I forgot to do the drive setup before starting the rebuild the write speed to the drive was halved

OK, slightly panicked now lol

root@openmediavault:~# sudo umount /dev/md0
umount: /dev/md0: not mounted.
root@openmediavault:~# sudo resize2fs -b /dev/md0
resize2fs 1.46.2 (28-Feb-2021)
resize2fs: Device or resource busy while trying to open /dev/md0
Couldn't find valid filesystem superblock.

Thanks - get this message, however.....

root@openmediavault:~# sudo resize2fs -b /dev/md0
resize2fs 1.46.2 (28-Feb-2021)
Cannot change the 64bit feature while the filesystem is mounted.

Hiya

Tried that - same result. It looks like I might need to convert to 64-bit to get around the file size limit for Ext4, but not sure how?

OK, well progress has been made RAID now shows 16.4TB and clean, so that's all good.

Went to the file system and selected resize - get the following error message:

Failed to execute command 'export PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin; export LANG=C.UTF-8; export LANGUAGE=; resize2fs '/dev/md0' 2>&1' with exit code '1': resize2fs 1.46.2 (28-Feb-2021)

What am I doing wrong?!

Superb! Thank you - ran mdadm --grow /dev/md0 --size=max and output says

mdadm: component size of /dev/md0 has been set to 5860391424K

In GUI it now says it's 'active, resyncing' and looks like it'll take 10 hours or so to finish (and there was me thinking I'd done with all the hanging around lol). Looking forward to the 16.4TB capacity!

Presume the file system expansion should work fine from within the GUI just by using the resize option?

Hi all

So I've been busy the last few days swapping out each of my x4 3TB drives for x4 6TB drives. All done by manually failing one drive at a time in the RAID and then adding its replacement.

I know I now need to grow the RAID before growing the file system, and it appears that needs to be done in CLI and not in the GUI. My query is what commands do I need to run in CLI to do this (and do I need to run anything beforehand to make sure I do this right?)

I've got the same number of drives before and after, so is it simply mdadm --grow /dev/md0 --raid-devices=4 or a variation of that?

Thanks

Adrian

My experience of doing an in-place upgrade from OMV5 to 6 is in this thread - it's working perfectly, and now rebuilding my RAID after doubling my drive sizes.

Thinking of new server hardware at the moment, and for that I'll defo start from scratch with installation.

Adrian E are you looking at this one I use zfs on my N54L I'm trying to work out from the specs/data for that Gen10 if this is doable or is the raid controller specific for software raid only

Yes, that's the one I'm looking at. I'm still using Ext4 on my N54L so can't comment on the zfs query (it's beyond my knowledge, but seen quite a few threads about it so presume in OMV6 there are reasons for going that route, over ext4 if starting from a new build?)

Hopefully Spy Alelo can comment on the techie query
