May 30, 201214 yr How you had originally. If it still doesnt start change them both to /usr/local/sabnzbd and try.
May 30, 201214 yr I made the edit you suggested and now when I restart the tower I am getting smbd: no process killed and I cannot see the tower in my network (though I can connect to it through firefox). I am having the absolute worst time getting this unRAID machine set up.. it is unbelievable! I don't think I changed anything on the flashdrive other than adding that space in the .plg file. How can I fix this new issue? edit: though I did nothing (haven't even restarted the tower or my pc), now I cannot connect to the tower even through firefox. I just restarted the tower and now I can again connect through firefox and it shows up in my network, but when I click on it an error is displayed which says windows cannot access \\tower check the spelling.
May 30, 201214 yr guitareaper, there is a newer, updated plugin that you might try. this thread is the original plugin, which has some errors that have been since fixed, and some new code to check for versions, and warn you if you're trying to save data to a volatile location. Check Influencer's signature.
May 30, 201214 yr Actually Influencer hasn't updated his signature yet. The more current plugins are at WW's github page.
May 30, 201214 yr The version on WW's github page works too. It is the one I upgraded to today. At least it works for the seperate directories install I am using.
May 30, 201214 yr The version on WW's github is almost exactly like mine, since we consolidated the plug-ins to his github I have made commits to update the issues in WW's original release so they are fixed. I'll update my signature, forgot to do it.... MyKroft, in the future, the plug-ins on WW's github will be the "official" place to get our plug-ins, atleast until Limetech offers a plug-in manager for this. I will be making updates to the github, its a much simpler way for me and WW to work together on these,
May 30, 201214 yr Guitareaper, please do the following from telnet: ls -l /boot/ and post the output, also do the same for your plugins folder( /boot/config/plugins ) and the install directory ( /usr/local/ )
May 30, 201214 yr Ill make sure that it indeed puts the version.txt in the install dir and update the plg. If you want to test it in the meantime you can replace the 'DATADIR' with 'INSTALLDIR' and reinstall the plg. If something were to break you could either change it back or redownload the plg and reinstall to fix. That line only functions on the settings page so it wont harm your data or settings. I changed DATADIR to INSTALLDIR in that section of the version checking code, and it seems to be working fine now.

May 31, 201214 yr Was hoping it was an error in permissions somewhere... Read the output of the samba log, located in /var/log/samba/smbd.log C/P it here as well
May 31, 201214 yr Dopey login: root Linux 3.0.30-unRAID. root@Dopey:~# /var/log/samba/smbd.log -bash: /var/log/samba/smbd.log: No such file or directory root@Dopey:~# This problem occurred after I added the space to the plugin file. I must have accidentally done something else, but I really have no clue what it could have been.
May 31, 201214 yr You'll have to open that log with vi or probably the easiest way is with Midnight commander. Also, I inverted the filename, its log.smbd, not smbd.log. Do this: cd /var/log/samba mc (use arrow keys to highlight the log.smbd) F3 (to view) highlight the log, no need to right click, it will copy to clipboard automatically. If the log is longer than what shows on screen you'll have to highlight what is there, copy to notepad or somewhere else, then use the arrow keys to scroll down the log until you get to what you couldn't see before, then highlight it again to copy the rest. Sorry this back and forth is taking so long, I know you want your server back up and operational, I can't for the life of me figure out what adding that space would cause, I did the exact same thing with way different results, EDIT: You might try doing this command, not sure if it'd work but worth a try: /etc/rc.d/rc.samba start

I really am hopeless on my own as this is my first time ever even touching linux. It doesn't want to view the log.samba from my computer, but on the tower when I view it it says essentially: log.smbd 138/138 100% [2012/05/31 17:12:17, 0] smbd/server.c:1051(main) smbd version 3.6.5 started. Copyright Andrew Tridgell and the Samba Team 1882-2011 On my computer, I did it through telnet. Is this what needs to be done through Midnight Commander? That may be why I couldn't view it on the computer. Also, when i do /etc/rc.d/rc.samba start it says.. Dopey login: root Linux 3.0.30-unRAID. root@Dopey:~# /etc/rc.d/rc.samba mv: reading `/boot/config/secrets.tdb': Input/output error Starting Samba: /usr/sbin/nmbd -D /usr/sbin/smbd -D root@Dopey:~#
May 31, 201214 yr Yes to view the file from your computer via telnet, using midnight commander(file browser) is the easiest method. But its fine, the file reads the same from the server or your pc, just use to mine being headless and don't think about doing it from the server, Not hugely familiar with the inner workings of samba, but from what I can find, try renaming the secrets.tdb ro secrets.old or secrets.tdb.old, and then try the command again. Again, not an expert at samba, but I'll try to help atleast,
May 31, 201214 yr I will try that in a few minutes. If I reformat my flash drive and out unraid on it again, would I have to then reformat the harddrives that are in the tower and lose their data? Or would it be as simple as reformat the flash drive to start over and plug it in and all be fine and dandy? (does that make sense?)
May 31, 201214 yr Not hugely familiar with the inner workings of samba, but from what I can find, try renaming the secrets.tdb ro secrets.old or secrets.tdb.old, and then try the command again. Again, not an expert at samba, but I'll try to help atleast, I tried to first copy that file to my desktop (just in case something happens and I need the original!) and it says "An unexpected error is keeping you from copying the file. If you continue to receive this error, you can use the error code to search for help with this problem. Error 0x80070570: The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable" This seems like it could be (at least part of) the problem. But, again, I don't know.
June 1, 201214 yr Can anyone help with two issues I seem to be having with sickbeard. First of all I've found in cases where I have to reboot my server and have left sick beard enabled the array will not start and remains on starting.. I then have to disable sick beard from the GUI and reboot again, this will get the array started. Secondly sick beard may not start at all, in comparison when I start sabnzbd from the GUI the screen refreshes and displays Sabnzb is now running, this has never happened with sick beard I only get the following message and have to manually refresh the screen : installing latest Version of sickbeard Starting sickbeard: sudo -u nobody python /mnt/cache/.apps/sickbeard/SickBeard.py -d -p 8081 --datadir /mnt/cache/.apps/sickbeard --pidfile /var/run/sickbeard/sickbeard.pid > /dev/null 2>&1 Any suggestions ?

It could be your flash drive is crapping out, that could corrupt the file, but could you rename the file and then restart samba? You could also try moving the flash drive to another port and see if that makes a difference. the updater on CP or SAB don't seem to work at all... any body have any idea why? Haven't tried updating CP, but sab seems to be working fine for me, I'll wipe it and try again to see. You can try running /etc/rc.d/rc.sabnzbd update and see if that works. At the very least it will give you some output that might narrow it down. A lot of these changes WW made and I'm having to familiarize myself with them right now, so give me a little time, Can anyone help with two issues I seem to be having with sickbeard.

I stated earlier, I think there might be an issue with the disks_mounted event causing the plug-ins to start too soon, but haven't had a chance to investigate it yet. As far as starting sickbeard and having to manually refresh the screen, I have tried and tried but can't seem to figure out WHY it doesn't detect sickbeard has started. I'm still looking though

You could also try moving the flash drive to another port and see if that makes a difference. It would not let me rename the file. I got the same error as before (corrupt file). I don't have another flashdrive here with me now, but I can pick up a new one later. If I put unRAID on another flashdrive, will I have to reformat the harddrives in the tower and lose that data?
June 1, 201214 yr If you can get your files off the old flash drive, you won't have to do anything. If you can't, you'll have to redo all your settings, but the drives will be fine. You'll just have to follow a specific procedure so you don't accidentally overwrite a data disk as parity(you would then lose all your data on that disk AND lose parity protection until it completed). I'll see if I can dig up the link, its around here somewhere, In the mean time, shut down your server, pull your flash drive, put it in your pc and run a disk check on it.
June 1, 201214 yr It appears as if I can get all of the files off of the drive except for the secrets.tbd. I ran a disk check and it said that problems were found and fixed but it also says that the affected files were moved to a folder named 'found' and no such folder was created. So if it really found and fixed anything or not is yet to be seen.
