Copying is being done from unraid array drive to THE plugged in USB hdd.

I gave THE command copy and paste from à Windows machine wireless , Wifi.

I have à gigabit network , wicht isnt THE problem.. Cause Copying isnt going over THE network

 

I;m afraid that your last statement is incorrect.  If you invoke the copy command at your client machine, then all of the data is transferred from the source to the client.  It is then copied to the destination from that client.  Your copied data is going across the wireless network in both directions.

 

Assuming that you have a good 11g wireless network signal, then  your data transfer rate would probably be around 3MB/sec.

 

Edit:  I see that you're reporting 1.3MB/sec (I presume you mean MegaBytes, as opposed to Megabits), which suggests, to me, that your wireless signal at your client machine is not as good as it could be.  Or, perhaps, your USB 2 device is only achieving full speed, not high speed.

 

If you wish to move data around on the unRAID server, then it is much more efficient to do it in a telnet session connected to the server.  If you want to avoid learning Linux commands, then you can use midnight commander (mc) in your telnet session.

 

 

Ohh i dient know that, i thought it was Copying just beween unraid and THE plugged in hdd, guess im wrong.

Nice to know. So i have to telnet in, im using putty for that. How do i combine this with midnight commander? Wher do i get it? And how does it werk, Will this make me have normal speeds?

I installed SNAP per instructions. When I go to the web interface I can see the drive I want to share out of parity. But it is not mounted and not shared. I right click and pick Mount & Share. Then the reiserfs turns to NO FS and nothing more. No mount and no shares.

 

What I'm I doing wrong?

Wher do i get it? And how does it werk, Will this make me have normal speeds?

 

It's part of the standard unRAID distribution (in later releases).  Simply type 'mc' at the command line.  The program has help built in.

 

I'm not sure what 'normal speeds' you may expect, but this will save all your data having to go over the network connection (twice) when copying between two devices attached to your unRAID server.

You aren't doing anything wrong.  The SNAP UI isn't working.  I have been using a telnet session and using the SNAP script manually to get it to work.

ok

thx , will try

i tried it with mc

now transfer speed is around 27-30 MB/s

BIG difference

but do i still need snap then?

or will the drive not be visible in mc without snap?

You will still need SNAP to mount the drive for you.

it works perfectly !

thx! a lot easier now

Thanks, so the old method of adding drives still works with the new version ? .... Can't wait to get home and try this!

Yes  The UI in the plugin is not totally functional.  Actually the SNAP script is the same version as that of the unraid 4.7 version.  You can telnet and use snap.sh the same as before.

 

I have found though that I can't mount a NTFS drive connected to a SATA port.  The partition is not recognized.  A NTFS drive attached to a USB port does seem to work properly.

I use the -a option. Then the m- option and get an error "Partition dosn't exist, can not be mounted"  :'(  :'(

But the disk is partitioned.. Is there some thing I miss?

I am having the same problem.  I don't think you are doing anything wrong.

I was going to install SNAP, but I am a little nervous based upon (1) The number of issues that have surfaced in this thread, in particular with the UI; and (2) the absence of the author (Queeg) since 4/10/2012.  I hope Queeg is alright.

 

I have the following configuration. unRaid 5.0rc4, latest SimpleFeatures.

The system has the following disk configuration:

 

1- An unused internal IDE drive with three partitions (2 NTFS, 1 EXT2),

2- An internal flash drive on USB for scratch use (not part of the array)

3- The Flash (boot drive) as an external USB

4- Three 2TB drives which are pre-cleared but NOT part of the array

5- Six 2TB drives (1 parity, 5 Data) making up the Array

6- An optical (DVD) drive on an IDE connection

 

The case holds all of the main drives (9/12 2TB Hitachi units) in "hot swap" external bays

 

If I were to install SNAP what should I expect to see?

If I have SNAP running and I place a formatted SATA drive into a hot swap bay should I see it? unformatted? Partitioned?

Will I see the internal IDE drive?  All three Partitions?

 

My unRaid system is ultra reliable with regard to the array. The system has not crashed or failed in any manner since I installed 5.0rc4. Because it is so good I keep revisiting NOOB state since I never touch it (the Console) as I forget whatever Linux I learn.

 

Any Advice greatly appreciated.

I decided to just try snap. placed the plg file into /config/plugins and did a reboot.  It did not install (according to /tmp/snap/log).  It stated it was unable to locate the file on google code (or something like that).

 

Any advice appreciated

PeterB had a similar problem:

http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=18046.msg180047#msg180047

 

The link from within the plugin is correct:

# Snap isn't installed yet.
echo "snap not installed yet." >>/tmp/snap.log


wget -O /tmp/latestSnapVer http://code.google.com/p/unraid-snap/downloads/detail?name=LatestSnapVersion&can=2&q=#makechanges
sleep 1
#cat /tmp/latestSnapVer
checkit=`cat /tmp/latestSnapVer| grep 'LatestSnapVersion' `
if [ -n "$checkit" ]
then
	versionCode=`/usr/bin/grep -o 'version=[0-9].[0-9][0-9]' /tmp/latestSnapVer|head -1`
	latestVersion=`echo "$versionCode"|/usr/bin/cut -d'=' -f2`
	echo "version is=$latestVersion" |tee -a /tmp/snap.log


else
	echo "Error: Unable to download LatestSnapVersion information from googlecode." |tee -a  /tmp/snap.log
	exit

 

Try again from the command line? No need for a reboot.

installplg /boot/config/plugins/Snap-5.0-1.plg

 

The only weird thing I saw was the label for the "latest" was 5.08, and the latest version is 5.09

If that works, do I have to do it every time or can I just put it into my GO file?

After you run installplg, no need to put it in your go file. Hopefully it finds the file and downloads.  It will launch every time upon reboot since you already have the plg in the plugin folder.

Thanks for the help.  It is now installed. Unfortunately it does not seem to be working, but maybe I do not understand the app.

 

I have an IDE drive in the unRaid box as hda.  It actually has several partitions on it (at least two). It shows in SNAP as hda and I gave it a share name as IDEdrive. That also shows and it states that it is formatted NTFS which one of the partitions is.

 

If I go to a windows machine it does not show up under "Tower" where all the other unRaid shares appear.

 

Should it appear there and shouldn't I be able to deal with it from windows?

I see that my "problem" is discussed slightly before my post. Since I don't want to use it through the console, how do I go about removing it?  Is it enough to just remove the entry from the plugins folder and reboot?

 

TIA,  Barry

Yup. Exactly, queeg must have something going on. :-(

 

Just remove it from your plugin folder, reboot and you'll be good to go

mbryanr,  Thanks for the assistance.  I have removed it, rebooted and all is well.  I will wait for Queeg to get back into it.  he has been absent for a few months.

 

I did notice one thing though, in one of the scripts, I think for Samba-Notify there was an incorrect definition for a folder as reported in the samba_notify log.  It was /boot/config/snap instead of /boot/config/plugins/snap.  I fixed that but it made no real difference.

 

I will just wait.  Thanks again

I have uninstalled SNAP and forgot to disable a share.

 

After rebooting the share is still there because it exists in smb-extra.conf. Can I delete this file or is it included in unraid vanilla? Also, what other steps should I take?

If that is NOT all that is in the conf file (its a text file) then delete the data for that share. If it is the only entry (I think it is 2 or 3 lines of text )Then you can delete the whole .conf file

thanks. well it's only the contents from snap-list-global plus my only share i created with snap, so i can just delete it?
