    unMENU 1.6 - now available (A major upgrade in appearance)

    in User Customizations

    Posted

    unfortunately, google no longer operates code.google.com, therefore, the release list file cannot be accessed from them any longer.

     

    A zip file of the entire unmenu source tree can be found at this link:

    https://code.google.com/archive/p/unraid-unmenu/source/default/source

     

    you can download the zip file, un-zip it, and have access to all the awk,shell files, and package definition config files within it.

    I have been using UnMenu since 4.7 and am a big fan. I did a fresh install of 6.2 RC3  and downloaded the sorce as as above.  I unzipped the archive into the directory /boot/unmenu without changing the directory structure. The directory structure is now /boot/unmenu/unraid-unmenu with the following subdirectories:  .svn, branches, tags and trunk.  I started unmenu with the uu command in trunk subdirectory. I know the install command no longer works but i'm wondering what directory structure should I have  or leave well enough alone as it seems to function.  BTW, what command should I put in my go file, /boot/unmenu/unraid-unmenu/trunk/uu?  Thanks.

    unRAID Server Release 6.2.0-rc3 Available

    in Announcements

    Dashboard only displays 3 cores of my 4 core AMD CPU.  It's correctly identified as 4 core in System Profiler.  Am I missing something? Screen shot of CPU Load and info from System Profiler attached.

     

    What does it show under Tools => System Devices => CPU Thread Pairings ?

     

    Under CPU Thread Pairings it shows 0 1 2.  I'm working on posting a diagnostic file once I shrink it to the allowed size. (Limetech, how about increasing attachment size limit?)

    After updating to 6.2 RC3 I'm unable to run "screen" in a shell session. When I try I  get the following error message: 

     

    screen: error while loading shared libraries: libelf.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

     

    I've installed the latest screen package in the NerdPack plugin.  Any suggestions?

    Failing disk in 2 disk cache pool

    in General Support

    Posted

    I noticed my vm (Ubuntu 14 server) running on my cache pool drives suddenly became read only.  Low and behold one of my cache drives appears to be failing with reallocated sectors.  I'm currently running the scrub operation on the cache pool (Should I even be doing this?)  When done can I replace the failing disk and start a rebuild operation? Is there anything else I should be doing?  Thanks. 

    Problem booting VM after converting image to raw

    in VM Engine (KVM)

    Posted

    I converted a qcow2 image to a raw image but when i try to boot, I get an error message "error: file '/boot/grub/i386-pc/normal.md' not found."  The vm boots into grub rescue and I tried  the following commands, substituting my partition info of course, but when I get to the normal command I get "normal.md not found error"

     

    grub rescue> set prefix=(hd0,1)/boot/grub
grub rescue> set root=(hd0,1)
grub rescue> insmod normal
grub rescue> normal
grub rescue> insmod linux
grub rescue> linux /boot/vmlinuz-3.13.0-29-generic root=/dev/sda1
grub rescue> initrd /boot/initrd.img-3.13.0-29-generic
grub rescue> boot

     

    Any suggestions?

    VM response time on cache pool

    in General Support

    Posted

    I have a Ubuntu server running on a vm.  This is on Unraid 6.1.6.  I've allocated 4 gigs of ram (out of a total of 8 gigs) to the vm and the vm image is qcow2.  I recently converted my single disk cache  to a two disk cache pool. The two disks are 1 terabyte 7200 rpm Seagates. I know ssds would speed things up, but this is what I have for now. My former single disk cache drive was formatted as XFS.  Since converting to the pool, I've noticed a slowdown in the vm's response time especially with apps that need to access the vm's MySQL database. The delay is not terrible, but noticeable.  Is this normal?
