  • Shared Folders all empty after reboot

    I did see a similar thread but it never seemed to be resolved.


    Every time I reboot now, all the "Shared Folders" appear empty.


    This is a setup I've been fooling with for a few months, with the intention of putting it into production. It's been rebooted numerous times without issue, but as of today, after updating to 4.1.24-1.and restarting, the shared folders no longer seem to have any files in them on each boot. The files still exist but not when accessed via the sharedfolders path.


    I can't see them if I SSH in as root.
    None of the services can see them - e.g VirtualBox, HDHomeRun.
    I CAN see the files via Samba, but looking at the smb.conf file it appears that the SMB share points directly to the physical path, not the sharedfolders path.


    I have two ZFS mirrors for storage, i can see all the data and files if I go to the pool directly.


    I can "fix" the issue temporarily by adding a new shared folder and applying the config which I assume triggers a process to update the config files.


    Not sure where to start - where is the mapping between the Shared Folder and the physical path defined?

  • How often and which self test should I schedule?

    I lost a drive the other day, it simply "disappeared". Obviously I tested it, changed drive slots etc to prove that it was the drive.


    Funnily enough, using Seatools, it would fail a short test but pass a long test every time. I'd started with long-tests and really only selected a short-test by mistake after several successful long tests. I now plan to schedule regular short tests.

  • How would you do it? (Disk Layout)

    So i've decided after a hiatus to come back to the world of OMV for my home NAS/Server appliance. I used OMV back in the 1.x and 2.x days but moved to something else for a while. But now I've decided to rebuild and come back to the light.


    What i can't decide on however is exactly what set of solutions to use for my storage.


    Hardware:
    Core i5 8500
    32GB RAM
    LSI MegaRAID 9272-8i 512M cache 6Gbps SATA/SAS Raid *


    Samsung 970 EVO Plus NVMe SSD 500GB
    Intel 128GB SSD (unknown model)
    4x Seagate 4TB HDD


    *Not installed yet, bought on ebay for $50.


    The case is now full, i'm out of ports. My storage requirements are:


    Static Media - 6TB
    DVR - up to 2TB
    3-4 VM's around 90GB each. They don't do much, 1 is a DVR, one is a VDI desktop, the rest just lab play machines.


    Due to the amount of storage I required, the only way to achieve enough is to use "RAID 5" unless i throw out the 4x HDD and start again.


    I was originally considering using ZFS with RaidZ1, which seems to perform pretty damn well. However I was concerned about the random IO performance for the VM's.
    Would I be best using the 500GB SSD as a separate disk just for VM's, or should I use it as a cache for the raidz volume?


    Then I have the RAID card.. which would make things simpler but I'm still worried about IO performance with the VM's and I really don't want the drives spun up 24x7.


    I think i've talked myself into raidz with the SSD as a cache, but what would you do?


    P.S the performance of that EVO SSD compared to the intel SSD is like comparing an SSD to a HDD. It's crazy quick.

  • Reset Owner & Permissions

    I've built a new 1.0 OMV box and moved in a RAID5 setup from my old system. It was created on a very early version of OMV (0.2?) and migrated through to 0.5 and then now to 1.0.x.
    Along the way the permissions have got a little screwed in some places, so I basically want to "reset" the entire drive to base level permissions and ownership. can someone clarify for me exactly what permissions I should set to keep everything happy? For instance I can't do anything in the folders with extplorer currently.

  • DnsMaq Plugin

    So i've tested the plugin and so far it seems pretty good with the exception of the following issue


    - When going to the Static Entries tab, click the + button to add a static entry. Select an existing DHCP client lease. It does not fill in any of the fields (i.e MAC, IP, Host name etc) so when you click OK it errors out. In the old version selecting an existing lease would fill out all those fields. The new "Lease" tab also does not allow you to select the MAC so you can't even copy and paste it either.


    Using FF 28 and Chrome 34.something


    Cheers & thanks so much for finally getting this plugin near ready.

  • OMV-Plugins not working on Fedaykin

    Thanks. DNSMASQ now starts.


    But when I go to create a static entry, it failed with



    The entry is in the web interface, but doesn't resolve.

    Then when I installed DNSMASQ


  • OMV-Plugins not working on Fedaykin

    So I reinstalled OpenVPN and noticed an error

    Zitat von "Marcel.Beck"

    At the moment the Donald and Glass Repository does not support OMV 0.4.


    If you had OMV-Plugins.org Plugin Version 0.4.x before you upgraded OMV 0.3 to OMV 0.4, everything should work as aspacted.


    The only Plugin which is currently not ported to OMV 0.4 is the Greyhole Plugin.


    Hi Marcel,


    Unfortunately that does not seem to be the case for me. Any ideas on the below??


    dlna: despite being enabled, media folders set, and the tickbox "scan all folders", nothing happens. Nothing in the logs, no process.


    dnsmasq - error on saving "Failed to execute command 'sudo omv-mkconf dnsmasq 2>&1':"


    Website: when attempting to enable get error message "communication failure"


    Bittorrent - not even listed as an available plugin.

  • OMV-Plugins not working on Fedaykin

    Is everyone else having issues with the omv-plugins.com plugins on fedaykin? Almost everyone has a serious issue for me including:


    omv-plugin: Cannot save settings, so cannot choose Donald or Glass repositories. On clicking save, default settings are saved


    dlna: despite being enabled, media folders set, and the tickbox "scan all folders", nothing happens. Nothing in the logs, no process.


    dnsmasq - error on saving "Failed to execute command 'sudo omv-mkconf dnsmasq 2>&1':"


    Website: when attempting to enable get error message "communication failure"


    Bittorrent - not even listed as an available plugin.


    etc. I've logged bugs at github, but there seems to be no response after quite a few days.


    So beware - i'm sure they will get fixed, but not as of yet.


    In case you are wondering, this was a clean build on 0.3, then and upgrade to 0.4 before any plugins were installed.

  • Install Problems

    I basically typed the following in Grub. You need to get your disks UUID. It should be listed in /boot/grub/device.map as well as in the /etc/grub/grub/conf.


    In my case my disk was HD0, check by typing ls in the grub prompt


    insmod part_msdos
    insmod ext2
    set root='(hd0,msdos1)'
    search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 5449b610-1111-4a37-b422-b52230de52b6
    linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-5-amd64 root=UUID=5449b610-1111-4a37-b422-b52230de52b6
    initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-5-amd64
    boot

  • Install Problems

    I finally got some time to try this again. The grub install just screws up every time.


    I managed to get it to boot manually, and a grub-install and grub-mkconfig fixed it all up. Dunno why it refuses to do it properly as part of the install though.

  • Install Problems

    I've been using OMV since it was first released, and while i've had a couple of issues, nothing like this before,it's generally been rock solid.


    My setup consists of a HP Microserver with 4x HDD in the SATA slots, and OMV booting off a USB key installed in the internal USB slot.
    Over the last month I have burnt through 3 USB keys. WHen the first one went I was like 'oh well'. When the second one went days laters I was thinking I was unlucky. When the third one died I figured I should try a new tactic.
    I am now trying install OMV onto a USB HDD. I run the setup, and it goes through fine. However after install, it drops to the grub screen.
    I am installing from a USB thumb drive to the USB HDD.


    The device I install to is /dev/sda during installation.
    Checking /boot/grub/devices.map has the correct drive listed as HD0.


    When it drops to grub after install and reboot, i try to manually boot (linux /boot/vmlinuz... then initrd /boot/init.rd..... then boot) but that fails with an whole heap of errors (e.g mount:mounting /sys on /root/sys failedL No such file or directory)


    If I run a rescue install, and get it to re-install grub, or run a grub-mkconfig, then it makes it even worse, dropping into grub-rescue mode on boot.


    Any suggestions / thoughts would be much appreciated.
