  • Upgrade Scripts for non-interactive major release upgrades (2->3, 3->4, 4->5)

    I went with the un-mount and re-mount read-only option. Now for the past hour the process has been stuck at:


    Configuration file '/etc/collectd/collectd.conf'

    ==> Modified (by you or by a script) since installation.

    ==> Package distributor has shipped an updated version.

    ==> Keeping old config file as default.

    Setting up tasksel-data (3.53) ...

    Installing new version of config file /etc/lvm/lvm.conf ...


    When I hit the Enter key the cursor moves one line down but nothing else happens.


    I am able to open another SSH session though.

  • Upgrade Scripts for non-interactive major release upgrades (2->3, 3->4, 4->5)

    No, I am not chainloading. I have three OMV servers. All of them boot from one (1) USB key. All just plain old vanilla installations as per OMV documentation.

    Thanks, I will check out the Buster release notes.

    Ok, remove plugins but not purge correct?


    Thank you, Sir.

  • Upgrade Scripts for non-interactive major release upgrades (2->3, 3->4, 4->5)

    dleidert This is awesome! I have three systems all running 4.x. Only one of them uses an encrypted storage device. The boot devices for all three are USB keys. Are there any special considerations to be given? You mentioned a caveat re: encrypted drives but I am not sure I caught the specifics. Presumably if my boot devices have enough free space available it shouldn't make any difference that they are USB keys.

    ryecoaaron Advises to uninstall all plug-ins when upgrading from 4.x to 5.x. Should I do this and after the upgrade re-install them will my plug-in configuration settings be lost?


    Thanks for the great work!

  • rtcwake suspend to ram & USB boot device

    Hi, mi-hol: I may consider that, thanks. I don't believe that's the issue here though. The option to allow for USB devices to persist has been around since kernel version 3.(?). I just can't figure out why my USB device is not showing under /sys/bus/usb/devices. It should show there as 1e1d:1101 which would then allow me to try out the persist option.


    Thank for your feedback.

  • rtcwake suspend to ram & USB boot device

    Release: 4.1.36-1

    Codename: Arrakis


    My boot device is a 8GB USB key. I would like to suspend my system to RAM and I've been testing to accomplish this with rtcwake.


    rtcwake -v -m mem -s 60 will suspend my system successfully but errors after wake


    Message from watchdog:

    The system will be rebooted because of error 19 = 'No such device'


    I suspect this is because the USB key does not get re-mounted after suspend.


    I believe there's a way to have USB devices persist through suspend with echo 1 >/sys/bus/usb/devices/[USB_ID]/power/persist. [USB_ID] being the device ID, which in my case should be 1e1d:1101


    This is my device in question

  • openmediavault-minnidlna 3.3.1;

    4.1.35-1


    Are there any circumstances or reasons why a OGG file wouldn't be recognized by the DLNA server?

    I've done some Google searches, but I haven't found anything useful. Some of my OGG files show others don't. It's driving me nuts. ;(

    Any thoughts?

  • openmediavault-luksencryption; no devices

    Release: 4.1.10
    openmediavault-luksencryption 3.0.3


    I have a single 3TB internal hard drive that I would like to encrypt. I've installed the plug-in, but when I try to select a device, no devices show. My internal HD is listed under Disks and File Systems shows it as unmounted EXT4. When I try to Create and Select a Device my internal HD doesn't show. Any idea what's going on? I am stumped.


    Cheers

  • omv-update fails - Failed to fetch http://apt.syncthing.net

    Quote from ryecoaaron

    Try it. It still applies. OMV 2.x has barely changed since 2016.

    Ok, this doesn't work for me... or maybe I missed something in the instructions?


    I select OMV-Extras.org and disable Sync on the Repos tab (Save & Apply); then I select Update Manager and select Check; no updates. Although SyncThing v0.14.46 has been released.


    If I reverse my steps and re-enable Sync on the Repos tab and check updates again, I am getting the same error as before. It appears joker_75 is having the same issue.

  • omv-update fails - Failed to fetch http://apt.syncthing.net

    Quote from ryecoaaron

    It isn't the syncthing plugin causing it. It is the repo that omv-extras adds. Syncthing changed their repo from http to https. If you go to it in a browser it works because it redirects to http. But apt doesn't follow the redirect. I fixed omv-extras yesterday. So, disable btsync/sync repo and update omv-extras. This will fix it.

    This post is back from 2016... I am experiencing the same error today.

  • mdadm: no arrays found in config file or automatically

    This is a fresh install ov OMV 4.0.9 to USB flash drive. During the install I had internal HD removed. With the HD removed boot generated no errors. After installing the HD I get the following error during boot. It repeats the same error message about 30 - 40 times before finishing the boot:


    mdadm: no arrays found in config file or automatically


    As elsewhere suggested I modified /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf to include:


    # definitions of existing MD arrays
    ARRAY <ignore> devices=/dev/sda


    Then I did: omv-mkconf mdadm


    This generated the follwing error:


    mdadm /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf defines no arrays


    I rebooted and still get the same error message again. So I checked /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf and noticed that the line I added was gone, so I added it again and rebooted; and I am still getting the same error message.


    Any idea how get rid off this error at boot?


    Thanks

  • OMV won't boot

    Quote from tkaiser

    To quickly elaborate on that: that's what the filesystem knows. All flash media don't allow to directly overwrite data (they implement pages and 'erase blocks') so in reality if just a few bytes are written at a time the amount of data written at the flash layer can be magnitudes higher than what happened at the filesystem layer.
    The problem is the so called 'write amplification' and that's what the flashmemory plugin is for as @cabrio_leo already mentioned. This should be used always when running off pendrives or SD cards (or even quality SSDs, wear out can be delayed easily by a factor of 20 or more)


    Another great idea is to check every flash media prior to usage. That's what F3 or H2testw are made for.


    What I've done is use gddrescue to recover the USB flash drive to a "new" (different) one of the exact same model type and capacity. The recovery was 100% successful. I don't understand why e2fsck is not able to fix either the source USB flash drive nor the file system on the recovered one. This doesn't make any sense to me.
