Hi all,
I followed this guide to install dnsmasq on my box up until about step 7 when I realised that actually I wasn't too fussed about doing it anyway. I've since spent the best part of two days trying to uninstall the damned thing! It's not particularly in the way but I feel that my failed attempts have highlighted a flaw in my underlying knowledge of unRAID, so I'm reaching out for help.
So far I have done the following:
'removepkg dnsmasq'
This resulted in:
'Removing package /var/log/packages/dnsmasq-2.79-x86_64-1...
Removing files:
cat: '/var/log/scripts/*': No such file or directory'
So I tried 'removepkg /boot/config/dnsmasq/dnsmasq-2.57-i486-1.txz' which removed a bunch of stuff as I'd expect with no errors.
After this there were still a bunch of files & directories left over, for example:
/etc/dnsmasq.d
/etc/dnsmasq.conf
/etc/rc.d/rc.dnsmasq
/usr/sbin/dnsmasq
/var/lib/libvirt/dnsmasq/
So I deleted these, along with
'installpkg /boot/config/custom/dnsmasq-2.57-i486-1.txz
cp /boot/config/custom/dnsmasq.conf /etc
chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.dnsmasq
/etc/rc.d/rc.dnsmasq start'
from my go file, and deleted the dnsmasq directory I'd made inside '/boot/config/' which contained the downloaded package.
As far as I can tell, there should now be nothing on my system that resembles any remnants of dnsmasq…
… However as soon as I reboot, all the files listed above have come back (except anything under '/boot/config/dnsmasq/' and the changes to my go file), and then whenever I start the array, the dnsmasq process starts back up. I've been trying to research and dig further but I have truly exhausted myself now, so I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction!
Many many thanks in advance
