  1. Hi All

     

    I am currently running a machine with a 250GB HDD with Fedora 15 installed. I also have six x 2TB Hitachi drives with a little over 2TB of data currently.

    What I am wondering is there anyway someone can think of moving to UNraid without having to move all the data onto an external drive.

     

    I thought maybe remove one of the drives from the RAID5, copy over as much data as possible to this singular hard drive and copy the rest to an external HDD.

    Boot into UNRAID and create array and move data back from there. Could anyone suggest a way that doesn't include using an external drive, may not be possible but worth asking.

     

    Thanks!

  2. What does "config.log" say?

     

    Ok, next step. :(

     

    How do i read that via command, I tried:

    read config.log

    view config.log

     

    Also did a little googling but most of it related to reading bash logs, from what it seems the logs bash creates.

    An 'ls' reveals the file is there though, inside:

    /tmp/libpar2-0.2#

  3.  

     

    installpkg patch-2.5.4-i486-1.txz

     

    Wierd, I have my go script installing all those packages, wonder why it didn't work.

     

    --

    #Run NZBGET

    cd /boot/packages/nzbget

    installpkg *.txz

    --

     

    Alright, got a little further and this is what I got. :(

  4. Ok, got all the packages I needed, although the libpar2 package seems to be updated and was a little different.

     

    Actually, it should be libpar2-0.2.tar.gz

     

    I may have pointed you to the wrong build. I think it should be this build: http://sourceforge.net/projects/parchive/files/libpar2/0.2/

     

    Cheers.

    New error:

    root@MicroServer:/tmp/libpar2-0.2# patch < libpar2-0.2-bugfixes.patch

    -bash: patch: command not found

     

  5. Did you include the last ".":

     

    cp /tmp/nzbget-0.8.0-testing/libpar2-0.2-*.patch .

     

    root@MicroServer:/tmp/libpar2# cp /tmp/nzbget-0.8.0-testing/libpar2-0.2-*.patch .

    root@MicroServer:/tmp/libpar2# dir

    install/                  libpar2-0.2-bugfixes.patch*  usr/

    libpar2-0.2-MSVC8.patch*  libpar2-0.2-cancel.patch*

     

    Yeah mate.

  6. *Raises noob hand*

    Hey man, I got to here and got stuck. I see there are some packages that are obviously needed to get this up and running but I cannot understand how to find them on that site? Sorry.

     

    Append the name of the package to the end of: http://pkgs.org/package/

     

    So, if you want libpar2, http://pkgs.org/package/libpar2

     

    Then, grab the latest i486 Slackware build. e.g.: "libpar2-0.2-i486-3sl.txz"

     

    If you can't get there from here, you may need more help than I can provide and may need to wait for an unMENU package, if anyone does one.

     

    Ok, got all the packages I needed, although the libpar2 package seems to be updated and was a little different.

    I have gotten to this point in the first script?

    ---

    root@MicroServer:/tmp/libpar2# patch < libpar2-0.2-bugfixes.patch

    can't find file to patch at input line 4

    Perhaps you should have used the -p or --strip option?

    The text leading up to this was:

    --------------------------

    |diff -aud ../libpar2-0.2-original/par2repairer.cpp ../libpar2-0.2/par2repairer.cpp

    |--- ../libpar2-0.2-original/par2repairer.cpp  2006-01-20 18:25:20.000000000 +0100

    --------------------------

    ---

    It asks me "File to patch:"

     

    This was mentioned in the install guide and now I am stuck. Was going well lol.

     

  7. Dependencies

    To obtain all the packages required for nzbget, I used http://pkgs.org/ .

     

    I appended the name of the package needed to this URL. e.g. http://pkgs.org/package/libpar2 , then grabbed the Slackware 13.1 (or similar) x86 version and put that in /boot/packages/ (the packages folder on /tower/flash).

     

    If there's any interest, I can package up the dependencies and make them available.

     

     

    Make it so...or....go

    I added the following sections to my go script:

     

    #################################################################
    # install packages for nzbget                                   #
    #################################################################
    
    cd /boot/packages
    installpkg kernel-headers-2.6.33.4_smp-x86-1.txz
    installpkg pkg-config-0.23-i486-2.txz
    installpkg libxml2-2.7.6-i486-1.txz
    installpkg make-3.81-i486-1.txz
    installpkg libsigc++-2.2.8-i486-2sl.txz
    installpkg binutils-2.20.51.0.8-i486-1.txz
    installpkg glibc-2.11.1-i486-3.txz
    installpkg perl-5.10.1-i486-1.txz
    installpkg gcc-4.2.4-i486-1.tgz
    installpkg gcc-g++-4.2.4-i486-1.tgz
    installpkg ncurses-5.7-i486-1.txz
    installpkg bind-9.4.3_P4-i486-1.txz
    installpkg cxxlibs-6.0.13-i486-2.txz
    installpkg patch-2.5.4-i486-1.txz

     

    There may be a package or two that's not strictly needed by nzbget or par2lib, but if so, I'm sure one of the experts here can advise.

     

    openssl was already installed on my server by the SABnzbd script, so if you aren't using that, also add:

     

    installpkg openssl-0.9.8r-i486-3.txz

     

    You'll also need libpar2-0.2.tar.gz and nzbget-0.8.0-testing-r394.tar.gz in the packages folder on the flash drive, they are set up later in the script.

     

    Immediately after this, I included the section for par2lib (note that nzbget includes patches for par2lib, so they are included here):

     

    *Raises noob hand*

    Hey man, I got to here and got stuck. I see there are some packages that are obviously needed to get this up and running but I cannot understand how to find them on that site? Sorry.

  8. Ok, did some more searching and I still cannot get MKV's to play. I am guessing it has to do with a lack of codecs/packages. Does anyone have an idea on where to start to troubleshoot this?

     

    EDIT: Alright got it up and running by starting again with a new guide, not sure what happened but .mkv files are playing now.

  9. Do you have any files being held open? You can use the lsof command to check.

     

     

    Literally type in:

    'lsof'

    ?

     

    I got it to shutdown using the power down script but as I was originally going for a reboot using the script was obviously not the best idea. I will run that command next time and see what happens.

  10. Sorry, didn't really lay that out very well.

    What is the theory behind making a new share for say the TV shows? The problem I have is that say I have 2TB drive full of movies and another only 60% full of TV shows wouldn't this then mean I would be un-able to use the remaining 40% because it was earmarked for TV shows.

     

  11. Only remaining item is the split level - this determines how UnRaid splits data between disks.  If you can give an example of the way your data is organized and how you would prefer it split over disks, I can tell you what level setting you need (prob not 4).

  12. Hi All

     

    Brand spanking new to the UnRAID software. I bought the plus license and currently have a HP MicroServer with 5x 2TB Hitachi drives in it. Currently the whole thing is doing a parity sync.

    This brings me to the setup of a share, I followed as best I could this guide:

    http://www.lime-technology.com/wiki/index.php?title=Un-Official_UnRAID_Manual#Shares

     

    I have the following setup but I am not sure about it:

    SHARE

    Allocation Method:

    Most Free

    Min Free Space:

     

    Split Level:

    Level 4

    Included Disk(s):

    disk1,disk2,disk3,disk4 (disk6 is the parity drive)

    Excluded Disk(s):

     

    Export (SMB):

    Export read/write

     

    Now until the parity sync is done I will not be sending any files to it. What worries me though is that I bought UnRAID under the assumption I could setup a RAID5 like configuration. I don't need or want to separate files across separate drives (UnRAID can do this in the background if it wants) I just want the drives to appear as one folder and for that to have roughly 7.2TB of space to be used. All advice welcome.

     

    Please note I am new, some or ALL of the above could be wrong. If you do reply to the thread please assume nothing.
