  • Clone OMV install from larger HDD to smaller SSD?

    Hi folks


    I have OMV setup just the way I want it, so would rather not have to reinstall from scratch. At the moment my HP Micro Server is running the supplied HDD with OMV on it (250GB from memory) and after cloning the OS drive on my desktop I now have a spare Crucial M4 128GB SSD sitting here, which I'd like to install for running OMV in the micro server.


    I used Clonezilla to image my old SSD onto the new one, so familiar with that. Unfortunately it can't deal with imaging a larger drive onto a smaller one. I'm not that familiar with Linux use, purely because OMV is the only thing I use it for, so not sure if shrinking, then re-expanding the image size in Linux is straightforward to do, or if there's an alternative method?


    Grateful for a steer :)

  • transmissionbt oddities after install

    Hi all


    I recently rebuilt my HP micro server after installing additional storage and following that doing a reinstall of OMV after swapping my USB stick for a proper HDD. I've noticed that transmissionbt doesn't seem to be working as well as it was before I started messing about. In configuration terms my network setup is the same, although I've set a static IP now as it changed on reinstallation and that was a pain with loads of network shares setup in windows based on IP.


    I have a number of files sitting in the active torrents tab but they're not seeding - looking in the webUI for transmission, only the publicbt tracker seems to be working - both openbittorrent and tracker.ccc say could not connect/connection failed. Is this likely to be down to a network issue or a problem with my install of the plugin? Can't see any way in the webUI or OMV to update the trackers manually.


    If I run utorrent on my desktop I'm seeing a file uploading at a decent rate, but in transmission it's either very slow or not seeding at all? I've also struggled to upload some files for initial seeding - downloader sees more or less no download speed. Before reinstalling I'd see speeds of MB/s rather than KB! I'm on a 50meg cable connection....


    Last oddity is the blocklist - it's set to the default option, but every time it runs I get an e-mail telling me:


    Code
    /etc/cron.weekly/transmissionbt:Error: gotNewBlocklist: http error 404: Not Foundrun-parts: /etc/cron.weekly/transmissionbt exited with return code 1


    Any suggestions on how to find the source of the issues, or things to try in settings to improve?

  • update php

    Another 5 updates for php just gone through so I imagine that's the fix released!


    Been getting e-mails every 30 minutes with the same error message so hopefully that'll stop them

  • update php

    Google Has Auto translated this for me, But I am getting this error Also message after running updates this Morning Which included miniDLNA

  • transmissionbt fails to install

    OK, above was user error - I'd forgotten since it's a long time since I set up folder shares that you then needed to go into SMB to add them there as well! D'oh!


    I can now view my torrents folders, including incomplete and watch sub-folders.


    I've tried adding a torrent file to the watch list and it changes from .torrent to added in explorer, but it isn't added to the torrents tab in OMV. I've also noticed it doesn't allow me to add a torrent from within the GUI.


    What am I doing wrong?!

  • transmissionbt fails to install

    Thanks guys


    Followed the advice above and got bittorrent to update. Setup some shared folders to suit but now they don't appear if I try to add a network location under 'computer' in explorer.


    Tried creating a different shared folder and that isn't showing up either - do I need to restart a service or something to get it working again post-bittorrent install?

  • transmissionbt fails to install

    Hi all


    Had some issues recently as a result of a change in RAID setup which resulted in some fiddling with shares and plugins. Deleted the transmissionbt plugin because I couldn't manually stop the service. Now everything is working again I've tried reinstalling the plugin and it hangs at 'building dependency tree'


    Anything obvious to post in terms of CLI logs or a way to force install?


    Thanks

    Hiya


    OK - done all that. Just rebooted and still can't mount the new file system


    blkid gives this now (not sure if you'd expect that to change?):

  • Adding storage drives and changing RAID setup to suit

    This is what I find - any chance you could highlight the bits I should be deleting? I'm wanting to retain the shared folder structures I had but I can always replace anyway!


  • Adding storage drives and changing RAID setup to suit

    Is it best if I post the details in the relevent section on here to get some help? I've managed to get into config.sys using nano after doing some searching but I'm confused by the UUIDs I've seen. I wrote down the UUID before I changed anything but it's different from the GUI and Putty.


    I have the UUID for the new RAID5 from within OMV.


    I'm assuming I need to remove the UUID for my old RAID1 file system as well as sorting out the folder shares?


    The folder shares allowed me to assign them to the new volume although if I revert the config it goes back to a long string that look a bit like a UUID but isn't the same as the one I wrote down from the RAID1 config or Putty!

  • Adding storage drives and changing RAID setup to suit

    Hiya


    I chickened out of trying to move my files around to accommodate the change in RAID so decided to start again and rebuild :)


    Has gone OK so far, although I should've deleted the RAID before wiping the physical drives, judging by the carnage that caused! Couldn't get OMV to boot until I ejected the drives first, then inserted one at a time so OMV could recognise them. Managed to find a command in CLI to clear the superblock info from the 2 original drives, which then allowed me to add them to my RAID5.


    I've now finished creating the RAID5 (took about 6 hours) and my 4x3TB drives are showing a total capacity of 8.19TB, but now having issues with the file systems. I've created a new ext4 file system which is attributed to /dev/md0 - it says it's online but it's not mounted. Does the file system creation take hours to finish and I'm just trying to move things along too quickly? Any way to monitor if it's doing anything?


    My original shared folders are present and I've updated the volume to point to md0 but they're not accessible yet, presumably because the file system isn't mounted?


    If I try to mount I get an error:


    Failed to mount 'f608fd07-91e0-4ef2-931d-525a287d093c': mount: no such partition found


    Error #6000:

    I also still have my original file system (I presume) sitting with lots of n/a markings and status of 'missing' - is that an issue or can it be ignored? I'm assuming in CLI I could potentially clear this? There's no device marked and deleting it is greyed out.


    ETA - another error I get if I try to apply config changes is:

  • Adding storage drives and changing RAID setup to suit

    If I follow the original suggestion I presume this command will be needed to degrade one HDD? I presume removing it is also necessary otherwise it'll still 'see' it?


    mdadm /dev/md0 --fail /dev/sda1 --remove /dev/sda1


    Do I need to delete the data off either of the existing drives at any point, or will adding them to the new RAID5 do that anyway?


    What's required to move data from the RAID1 disc to the new RAID5? I presume this is independant of the folder shares etc but once created the new RAID5 is empty? Is that a simple CLI instruction to copy or am I missing something obvious in the GUI?


    Have made a note of the UUID string. Presume tune2fs runs in CLI? Not looked for that yet!


    Thanks for you patience :)
