ooooooooo
very nice little boards
-
and although strictly you could email tom and keep the cost for two servers at $149 it might end up at $300 for that backup key some people advise to get !!! Of course, you only have 1 parity disc
the more i investigate this product the less attractive it is becoming :'(
your first key is $119 its $30 for a second one (or two for $149) if you read http://lime-technology.com/registration-keys/
one parity disk but no striping so only lose whatever data was on the drive that died (if more than one die at once)

i'm stealing that analogy

Celeron 430 / 2Gb.
Moving forward, I have had great service out of the hardware and the fact that it will not support x64 based unRAID 6.0 is not a big deal. In real world terms this hardware is old and has already returned it's value to me.
it should do, from intels arc for the 430 - Instruction Set 64-bit
Intel® 64 ‡ Yes
-
re-ran "make_bootable" ?
-
that seems to run a turian 2 whcih seems to run x64 so.. yes

edit: but yeah if you already have virtualisation set up, just run up another vm, be the easiest way

So, on windows 64 its no problem to run 32bits binaries without rebuilding. But on linux this not possible? Things have to be rebuilt for 64 bits otherwise they don't even run?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WoW64
for *nix it adds complexity that people would rather not support (multilib doesnt work very well usually and even worse on slackware)
its one more thing to support when the alternative is to update the software which tends to be a better answer anyway
edit: and windows only runs x32 binarys that dont touch drivers or hardware in any real way, nix tends to get a bit more direct especially appliance level nix

nice comes with ssh baked in, small but appreciated

as he says above, thats an addon, stop adding thingsI wiped the flash drive, reinstalled, put everything but webgui on it.
With the webgui- can this be unzipped and just dropped into a folder on the drive /boot/plugin or does it have to be installed through the console?
no thats because 127.x isnt a valid address, its a loopback addresswith ifconfig I get an ip address, which I didn't get before, it's showing as 127.0.0.1 however, browsing to that ip, it isn't found.(Web page not found when viewed in Chrome) so I'm guessing that's because the gui isn't in place.This is a bigger can of worms than I was expecting, I've been messing with computers since I built my first, a Sinclair, but linux is something I've not dinked around with at all, so it's a pretty steep learning curve.not nearly as hard as getting a new network card going under nt4 or dos was
the syslog doesnt show any networking info, are you still using the onboard or have you swapped? (you could put all your cards in and hook them up until we find out what one works)
again, what onboard NIC does it have? what other NIC cards have you tried?
-
the actual install docs are here - http://lime-technology.com/unraid-server-installation/ assuming you have a working supported NIC and working local DNS those docs work fine
everything else is an addon, get it working on the basic imho
try just "ifconfig"
it's reading like it doesnt support your network card, try the PCI one again (preferably an intel or realtek)
quick googling i cant find what onboard card that pc has
-
i wouldnt start with unmenu, thats a custom plugin addon, the new official webgui is great -> https://github.com/limetech/webGui
great to play around with but add that stuff once you've set up and played around
preclear is good for drive testing though
and yeah, i never understood the attraction to opendns, local stuff is fine
-
the giant thread under "hard drives and controllers" is your best bet
-
check your router, maybe its got an IP but your local dns hasnt updated, check your router (or dhcp server) leases see whats there
what NIC do you have? maybe its not supported... using version 5.0.4 ?
why is your kernel newer than mine...
Tower Login: root
Linux 3.9.22p-unRAID
root@tower:~#
5.0.4 uses 3.9.11p ....
"I've yet to find anything on why commands aren't working."
because those commands dont exist, they're either wrong (in the case of ipconfig vs ifconfig) or have been depreciated
you need to tell us what other commands dont work
try it without instaling the new webgui first imho
I type
ipconfig etho
thats ifconfig eth0 (thats a zero)
heres mine:
root@Unraid:~# ifconfig eth0
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr BLAHDEBLAH
inet addr:192.168.0.200 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
I installed the menu from Google Docswhat menu... the official beta one is on github not googledocs...
but yeah you should start fresh first make sure it works
(and what NICs are you trying)
trying to browse to it with http://tower (which the flash drive IS named UNRAID in upper case as instructed) doesn't load.
"doesnt load"
browser gives you a "cannot connect" ? (dns/ip error)
404 not found? some php error? (some issue with the webgui)
you need to be more descriptive

you might want to read through bits of the stickied "read this first" Thread
-
its ifconfig not ipconfig (ipconfig is windows ifconfig is *nix)
-
-
for unraid you dont actually want a "raid card" you want a jbod card as unraid itself takes care of the array and the perc's dont pass through smart info or direct drive access

edit5000: wikipedia says this for dm
raid: offers an interface to the Linux kernel's software RAID driver (md)
so doesnt WeeboTech comment stand that it wont work?
edit: most of the docs i find regarding dm+lvm talk about it interfacing with mdadm
-
thanking you, figured as much but wanted to make sure i wasnt crazy when did this dm thing become standard
:'(
that'll teach me for not doing any "heavy" linux work in 4years+ and trying to jump right back in
edit: i knew i was right, linux software raid googling leads mainly to mdadm (which makes sense i guess)
editedit: weirdly enough all this last couple months crazyness leading me into more investigation and planning of what i'd actually like my server to achieve i'm leaving towards windows2012 storage server with snapraid, dont like the interface but that + drive pooling does seem to fit my needs better.... if the unraid array cannot coexist with another array especially
(more comfortable in the wintel world)
-
nice thread, will have to take some time to digest it properly, quick thing ive been mulling over, does the unraid md patch stop you using mdadm to manage a seperate array? or does it just add features?
(silly question but surely i cant be the only one wondering and didn't see it mentioned in any of the other threads)

weird as it feels, thats how linux has co e to be
-
$100 or 100%?
I took it as him meaning 100%, I'm sure he'll clarify though.
yeah just wanted to make sure he saw + corrected it before some of the angrier folk got all crazy (hence removing my post after he updated his - clarification it had originally said $100 rather than 100%)

rpm is redhats installer files, "redhat package manager"
debian/ubuntu use .deb redhat + derivatives use .rpm
Virtualizing Windows and licensing
in General/Other
Posted
having rung Microsoft dozens of times to reactivate after motherboard replacements / P2V / V2V etc (10 years into computer tech) I've never been told no once, on the off-chance you actually get transferred to someone just explaining the situation "i formatted" "replaced motherboard" they always activate, basically windows 7 allows you 3 activation until phone which is automated 90% of the time
edit: sometimes they do get you to read the product ID off your licence although that was more for the windows xp sp1 keys that didnt work after sp3
editedit: and yeah technically you need one retail key per virtualised instance (or one data-center licence per VM Host) but imho you're fine with OEM (as they never could come to a conclusion exactly what allows it to be an OEM install, one stick of ram or a keyboard or what last i heard)
