So, all I did was finish screwing in my hard drives, added some fans, and moved the tower to it's perminent location.

 

Now, The cache drive that I installed is read only.  I installed a cache drive to follow the instructions on installing SABnzbd, Couch Potato, and Sickbeard.  I had them all working fine, but now they are not, and it seems one of the reasons is no write access. I don't know what could have happened.

 

Thanks

We are going to need a syslog, spec for the server, and any more information you can provide.

 

There is probably file system corruption on the cache drive, hence the reason it is mounted as read-only now.

Sorry, I am new to this.

 

Here is the syslog after a reboot:

The tower has:

2TB HDD as parity

4 array drives - 2x2TB, 1x1.5TB, 1x1TB

160GB Cache drive

 

3GB Ram

 

 

So, does someone know a linux command to make my cache drive writeable?

 

You have a filesystem corruption issue on /dev/hdc1 which is your /mnt/cache drive. You need to run the filesystem check command. Wiki Info: http://lime-technology.com/wiki/index.php?title=Check_Disk_Filesystems

I'm following that and on the unmount command it says      unmount: command not found

 

Is unmount not a command built in?  I am in the main directory.

I'll try and reboot again.

 

The command is umount, not unmount

Those look the same to me.

 

So, I'm trying to Stop all the drives from unmenu, and the cache drive is taking awhile to unmount.  I tried doing this before and the waited 2 hours, then gave up and ran the reboot command.  Should it take this long to unmount the cache drive?  It is an older IDE drive.

 

I'm thinking about just using my external ssd drive as the cache drive and starting over if I can't figure this out.

 

Thanks.

They are NOT the same one is Umount (<-- the correct one) and the other is UNmount (<-- the incorrect one you typed)

You need to stop any and all addons you have running to be able to stop your cache drive. That includes not being cd'd into it's directory.

Ok, that brings up another question.

 

I tried to search for this the other day on google for 30 min, but didn't know what to search for.

 

How do I stop a Python file?

Sab, etc?

 

Thanks.

use the Sabnzb web page and click on shutdown. I use plush theme so it's under the Sabnzbd menu item.  On sickbeard web page (version alpha master) the shutdown menu is under the little wrenches on the top left.  You must also stop any other programs you have running on the cache drive - then unmount it with the umount command.

So, when it became read only, I couldn't shutdown sickbeard because for some reason it changed the ip address in the config file.

 

So is there a way to stop them from command line?

 

Thanks.

Oh crap, I just saw the difference.  I guess I have my resolution set too high for my eyes.

I installed nano to edit the go file, but it seems like it doesn't work from a telnet session.  Is there a better program to install to edit the go file from a telnet session, so I don't have to hook up a monitor and keyboard?

 

I went ahead and did it this time to comment out the python files.

 

Thanks.

You can use mc (midnight commander) to edit the file.

 

I also suggest installing and using iTerm (google search it) which is a free replacement for Terminal.  I much prefer iTerm

I'll try the mc later thanks. 

 

I am running Win7, so iTerm didn't work, but thanks.

I tried running through the filecheck program, but it didn't fix it, so I reconfigured everything for now to run off my array, instead of the cache drive.  My cache drive was an old 160gb ide drive I had laying around, so once I upgrade that I'll try it again.

 

Thanks everyone for your help.
