  • Lowering OMV Power Consumption in an Asus F2A85-M Board

    ok lets see.
    you can get console access if you activate ssh in the webinterface and connect to your omv machine with putty or something similar.
    user: root
    pwd: you have created at installation.
    or you can log into the console if your machine is connected to display and keyboard.


    if you are on the console:

    Code
    cd /etc/apt
nano apt.conf
# comment out first line should look like this:
# APT::Default-Release "...";
# save & close the file, ctrl + x and confirm with y


    the above code deaktivates release "locks".


    next code block deactivates the installation of php-5.4 cause there is a confilct with omv dependencies:

    Code
    nano /etc/apt/preferences
# add the following lines:
# ------ cut here -------
Package: php5*
Pin: release a=stable
Pin-Priority: 700
# ------ cut here -------
# save the file


    next we setup the repositories:


    this should be the setup.
    next be carefull, we will update the system to the new repository:

    Code
    apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade
#WARNING: check the Pakages that will be "REMOVED". There shouldnt be openmediavault, if there is openmediavault listed, the "php update block doesnt work correctly, inform me, and i will try to sort it out.


    if its ok, lets do the update.
    if there comes up a config merge, use the default option =N, wich means the config wont be overwritten.
    there comes up a question wich will restart services automatically without asking everytime. say yes here.
    lets do the update, if its done, reboot the machine.


    after this the only thing to do is the kernel update to 3.8.
    i will write it down later.

  • Lowering OMV Power Consumption in an Asus F2A85-M Board

    first of all, i was testing nas4free yesterday. the cpu scaling works fine for me.
    the setup: activate powerd, using adaptiv insted of hiadaptive as governor.
    nas4free is based on freebsd 9.1 (as far as i know released in dec 2012), freenas is based on 8.3 maybe its to old to do the powermanagement for the apu.
    i have tested it with the live usb image. so i was not needet to install it on the disk and overwrite the omv installation.


    on omv as told previously i'm using testing repository with 3.2 kernel, but on the net c60m1-i i tested the kernel 3.8 from experimental repo.
    the kernel works fine. no bugs as far as i could see this till now.
    the experimental is not a full distro, you can just pull out some pakages you want to try, so i'm on testing repo (wich is going to get stable at the moment) with the newer kernel.


    are you familiar with console usage?
    there are a few things to do on the console to get to the testing/unstable repo.
    are you in the omv irc channel?

  • Lowering OMV Power Consumption in an Asus F2A85-M Board

    OK, i have tested a little bit with NAS4Free and FreeNas at the weekend.
    Power Usage on this might be bad because of "powerd" is disabled by default.
    This is the Service with controlls frequencies and vcore, etc.
    If you are testing the Powerusage aktive powerd its usually in the the webgui, "generall setup -> advanced settings" or like this (its out of my head now ;) )


    I'm going to buy a power analyzer today, doing same things, checking power usage of the sys and on the other side checking performance with the low power c60m1-i asus board, with this 3 softwares.


    If you are Setting up OMV first of all get the 64Bit ISO and do a default installation.
    if you want to test if there is the powerusage changed with new kernels i will help u if you are done.

  • Lowering OMV Power Consumption in an Asus F2A85-M Board

    Actually im setting up an C60M1-I with dualcore amd 1ghz.
    this is enough for my mirrored setup.
    the mirror shouldnt need to much cpu.


    i'm also running an E35M1-I with a 4 Disk Raid5.
    there i have not seen a cpu problem. its connected to a 1Gbit Port, giving me transfare rates from 85Mbyte/s.
    I think its nice.


    I'm always running OMV with the debian testing repository.
    So i'm getting a Kernel 3.2.x


    on the old kernel, (is it 2.6.32?? dont know) there were some stability issues with the relativly new amd boards/architectures.


    taking it to the testing repository is nothing big. i have no problems so far, only the rrd/statistics in the webinterface dosent work proberly.
    everything else is fine.
    if u need help i think i can support you.

  • TimeMachine setup

    i think we need some more infos.
    screenshots of your Apple Filing share configuration.
    have you mounted the share with, i think its cmd+L in finder?
    screenshots and more details of the error?


    i have set it up. mac os x is very very bitchy in this situation.
    was hard to get it work.
    as far as i can remember it works only with a registered user.


    warning: mac os x has no size limitations on timemachine disks in default configuration. it will use all the space available on the share if its needed. there are several videos on youtube how to change it. or you can use omv LVM plugin to create partitions for the backup.
