March 23, 201214 yr well since 5b-somethign was apparently the only solution to most of my problems.. I went ahead and installed 5b12... and now I'm totally screwed went thur the steps, parity check/shutdown/backed up the sd card, copied over the new files/started up all looked good, drives assigned correctly, all green started the array, did the new permissions.... and now, can't get to any share, either user shares or the /disk(x) share... nothing can still get to the web server and such.. try to access the folders from windows (like I have before with no problem) "(sharename) referers to a location that is unavailable..." can't even get to \flash putty'ing in I get this root@Burbank:/mnt# ls disk1/ disk2/ disk3/ disk4/ disk5/ user/ root@Burbank:/mnt# ls disk1/ Books/ Comics/ Music/ TV\ Shows/ << this is right root@Burbank:/mnt# ls /disk2 /bin/ls: cannot access /disk2: No such file or directory root@Burbank:/mnt# ls /disk3 /bin/ls: cannot access /disk3: No such file or directory root@Burbank:/mnt# ls /disk4 /bin/ls: cannot access /disk4: No such file or directory root@Burbank:/mnt# ls /disk5 /bin/ls: cannot access /disk5: No such file or directory (start over) root@Burbank:/mnt# ls /disk1 /bin/ls: cannot access /disk1: No such file or directory root@Burbank:/mnt# ls /disk2 /bin/ls: cannot access /disk2: No such file or directory root@Burbank:/mnt# ls /disk3 /bin/ls: cannot access /disk3: No such file or directory root@Burbank:/mnt# ls /disk4 /bin/ls: cannot access /disk4: No such file or directory root@Burbank:/mnt# ls /disk5 /bin/ls: cannot access /disk5: No such file or directory I CAN look thru the folders thru the UnRaid browser WTF? Please tell me I haven't lost 10tb of data? have a syslog... fubar.zip
March 23, 201214 yr Author and that explains why I can't get to them thru Windows? fine... root@Burbank:/mnt# ls disk1 Books/ Comics/ Music/ TV\ Shows/ root@Burbank:/mnt# ls disk2 TV\ Shows/ root@Burbank:/mnt# ls disk3 TV\ Shows/ root@Burbank:/mnt# ls disk4 Movies/ TV\ Shows/ root@Burbank:/mnt# ls disk5 Movies/ so why can't I access them thru Windows file explorer (gonna slow down using the server ) (points to jpg below)
March 23, 201214 yr Depending on the size if the array the permissions script could take some timer complete. Can you give us the output of a ls -ltr on a file. Also check share page. Make sure nothing is set to hidden. That could explain the flash drive.
March 23, 201214 yr Author I gave the permissions script about an hour to run, it said it was finished. nothing set to Hidden root@Burbank:/mnt/disk4# ls -ltr total 4 drwxrwx--- 3 nobody users 80 Mar 6 21:45 TV\ Shows/ drwxrwx--- 92 nobody users 3816 Mar 13 17:56 Movies/ root@Burbank:/mnt/disk4# root@Burbank:/mnt/disk4# ls TV\ Shows -ltr total 0 drwxrwx--- 3 nobody users 296 Mar 13 00:55 Dirk\ Gently/ root@Burbank:/mnt/disk4# ls -ltr TV\ Shows/Dirk\ Gently total 1032 -rw-rw---- 1 nobody users 139030 Mar 7 00:22 poster.jpg -rw-rw---- 1 nobody users 55485 Mar 7 00:22 logo.png -rw-rw---- 1 nobody users 249763 Mar 7 00:22 fanart.jpg -rw-rw---- 1 nobody users 335326 Mar 7 00:22 banner.jpg -rw-rw---- 1 nobody users 2521 Mar 13 00:55 tvshow.nfo -rw-rw---- 1 nobody users 97565 Mar 13 00:55 season-all.tbn -rw-rw---- 1 nobody users 171123 Mar 13 00:55 folder.jpg drwxrwx--- 2 nobody users 416 Mar 19 22:23 Series\ 01/ root@Burbank:/mnt/disk4# ls -ltr TV\ Shows/Dirk\ Gently/Series\ 01 total 3912744 -rw-rw---- 1 nobody users 1542940119 Mar 6 23:35 Dirk\ Gently\ -\ S00E01\ -\ Pilot.mkv -rw-rw---- 1 nobody users 1413782290 Mar 12 21:35 Dirk\ Gently\ -\ S01E01\ -\ Episode\ 1.mkv -rw-rw---- 1 nobody users 25599 Mar 13 00:55 Dirk\ Gently\ -\ S01E01\ -\ Episode\ 1.tbn -rw-rw---- 1 nobody users 2181 Mar 13 00:55 Dirk\ Gently\ -\ S01E01\ -\ Episode\ 1.nfo -rw-rw---- 1 nobody users 19890 Mar 13 00:55 Dirk\ Gently\ -\ S00E01\ -\ Pilot.tbn -rw-rw---- 1 nobody users 2336 Mar 13 00:55 Dirk\ Gently\ -\ S00E01\ -\ Pilot.nfo -rw-rw---- 1 nobody users 1048748032 Mar 19 22:23 Dirk\ Gently\ -\ S01E02\ -\ Episode\ 2.mkv
March 23, 201214 yr Author ran reiserfsck --check on all drives from console... no errors stopped array, powerdown swapped out my saved 4.7 SD card in the reader, restarted, array came right up under 4.7, no problems ALL shares/files accessible stopped array, powerdown swapped back in the 5b12a SD card, restarted, array came up, SAME PROBLEMS anyone? any ideas?
March 23, 201214 yr Try to manually change permissions for the affected disks. The new permissions script has a bug where it stops if it hits certain folder names, I believe it was folders with spaces. chmod -R 777 /mnt/disk2 I'd change the permissions to 777 for testing purposes only, if that is indeed the problem I would then change it to something more appropriate
March 24, 201214 yr Take a screenshot of one of the shares that your having problems with, the page where you setup users and such.
March 24, 201214 yr ran reiserfsck --check on all drives from console... no errors stopped array, powerdown swapped out my saved 4.7 SD card in the reader, restarted, array came right up under 4.7, no problems ALL shares/files accessible stopped array, powerdown swapped back in the 5b12a SD card, restarted, array came up, SAME PROBLEMS anyone? any ideas? Sure looks and sounds like permissions. Security is handled differently between v4 and v5. I can see owner and group have rw but users don't have anything. Let's see the Dirk Gently contents after the chmod.
March 24, 201214 yr when you upgraded to 5b12, there is a section in the //tower with a button that you have to click on. i forget which section it is, but it explicitly says to click on it (sets permissions back to default) and should only be needed done that one time. look for it and let me know if you find it and the success of it..
March 24, 201214 yr He already reset permissions, and running chmod would (basically) do the same thing, giving full access so his other machines can access it. A screenshot would be most helpful....Actually, unless you have messed with them, its possible your samba.conf and shares.conf are messed up. Try renaming them on the flash(in config folder) and then restarting the server, and setting up your shares again. The official release for the 5.0 beta's states to delete these files: config/passwd config/shadow config/smbpasswd
March 24, 201214 yr Author ok to catch you up, I got a ping from Tom last night, he had me do somethings and send him a log.. waiting to hear back from him on that so I'm not changing anything else (infact, I took the 5b14 [updated to that by request] setup and put the SD card away for safe keeping (one of the joys of using the Kingston Reader I guess ) and went back to 4.7 to use the server.. But to answer a few questions... He already reset permissions, and running chmod would (basically) do the same thing, giving full access so his other machines can access it. yes I did, actually did it a couple times (the reset perms).. I did do the chmod 777 but I only did it on the lower level folder, so the top level was still 'wrong' and still couldn't get at it. The official release for the 5.0 beta's states to delete these files: config/passwd config/shadow config/smbpasswd the files were not present.... couple of data points - -- I had all the 'internal' shares (flash, disk1, disk2, disk3, etc..) marked as hidden but accessible, when v5 started up, they were all visible and accessible. I reset all the shares and restarted, no change. -- when I rolled in 5b14, SOME of the shares came back... some... flash, disk2, disk5 were still borked and inaccessible. so that's where it is now, I'm not gonna touch it till I hear back from Tom. will report back later.
March 24, 201214 yr Does rc.samba have execute permission? I had an issue where I forgot to chmod +x all the scripts after copying them over on my full slackware install and samba wasn't starting because it didn't have execute permission. s -ahl /etc/rc.d/ ... -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4.0K Mar 24 04:43 rc.samba ...
March 26, 201214 yr Author SMALL UPDATE: Still waiting to hear back from Tom before I do anything else, still back on 4.7 with 5b14 setup on ice... HOWEVER, I do have a rather... interesting.... data point. With this setup I had had strange problems, network issues (Realtek 8111e, yes I know, but also with Intel and a JMicron card), strange data disconnected from the drives, slow writes, full server lockups requiring the reset button.... I had this power supply in... http://www.amazon.com/Cooler-Master-Modular-Certified-CrossFire/dp/B001NJ0CZK/ref=sr_1_2 (Cooler Master Silent Pro M700) and someone said (lost who here) "you'll have problems with that CoolerMaster"... I changed it out to this... http://www.amazon.com/OCZ-Series-Fully-Modular-Performance-compatible/dp/B005SCYFVA/ref=sr_1_1 (OCZ ZT Series 650W Fully-Modular) (I did this just before trying the update to 5b12/14) Since then (and going back to 4.7), not. one. single. hiccup. Not even the network. Still want to try to get up to 5b14, but... if you're having problems... power does seem to make a difference.
March 26, 201214 yr PSU is always a suspect in PC problems. As I just posted in another thread, I was having power issues and chased errors all over the system. I'm talking about RAM errors, hard drive errors, everything. In my case it was a combination, PSU was well on its way out and (I suspect) surged the MB and popped a few caps. The caps that were on the MB were notorious for failing anyway so I recapped the MB, replaced PSU and have a rock solid system now. If you are rocked by numerous errors that don't seem to be related, check the power,
March 26, 201214 yr Author I must admit, I snagged that CoolerMaster when I saw it on sale with a massive rebate... in EVERY other machine I've ever built I've use Antec, ThermalTake and OCZ.. last few years Antec seems to have gotten stale, ThermalTake overpriced... but the last 4 machines I've build have been OCZ.. and every one in the future will be too Now if Tom can figure out my update weirdness. all is good.. I've already got a second box made (using an Antec as a temp supply for testing) using a BIOSTAR A55MH and an AMD A-Series cpu (27 looks in the Motherboard section, no one said anything.. yay, nay or what the hey?) so I took a jump.
March 27, 201214 yr That MB should work fine as long as your using 5b14(not sure which beta build the support for that NIC got put in). People have reported problems with the NIC but tests have shown it works with 5b14. Keep us posted on the problem your having, I'm interested to know what it is.
March 27, 201214 yr Glad you sorted your earlier problems with the NIC and more out. Can't believe it was the PSU though. Or it was a very bad one. Or there was a bad connection or some other cabling issue. When you take out a PSU and drop in another you re-connect so many connectors it is almost impossible to find the real fault. re-seating all connectors might have done the trick too.
March 27, 201214 yr Author Well I've still go the weirdness of no being able to access the shares on 5b14. And I DID reseat the connectors on the PSU before pulling and putting a new one in. So I doubt the connectors were an issue this time.
March 28, 201214 yr I've used a few coolermaster PSU's, 3 to be exact. 2 worked fine, one was waaaay out of tolerance pretty much on arrival. To the best of my knowledge, atleast 1 of the two good ones is still working great, used it in a build for my brother, he hasn't said anything about replacing it. I figured the one bad one was that dud that is inevitable, no matter how good the company is. Hope you and Tom can get the upgrade problem figured out!

I figured the one bad one was that dud that is inevitable, no matter how good the company is. yeah, crap happens (or the more polite "fecal matter occurs"), I'm tempted to try the Intel NIC again (look for other threads, big brouhaha) but right now, even with Realtek and 4.7 it's behaving, an d I don't wanna touch it till I hear back from Tom) Hope you and Tom can get the upgrade problem figured out! I haven't really heard back from him after sending him the log (one brief question) and I'm guessing that he's busy with the move and 5b15. Treading water right now waiting.. and worrying about what to do for more SATA ports (see question down in the Controllers section on SIL3132 cards and/or alternatives)
March 28, 201214 yr Author What's that greek word for 'holy crap this water is cold???' oh yeah... EUREKA!!!!! I decided just for giggles to try the migration again... got a fresh SD card, wiped, copied the contents of my 4.7 setup to it (ran the make bootable).... copied over the bzimage and bzroot, started it up.. configuration valid, started the array.. ran the permissions script... waited till it was done.. same thing.. started browsing the site some (desperately searching more like it..) and found this.... http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=19198.msg171162#msg171162 BOOM goes the dynamite.. I too had the DFS tabs on the shares.. did the 'clear history'... and.... SUCCESS! Share and drive access, XMBC loves me again! All is good! had I not looked in OTHER and found that.. and it was yesterday... weirdness... (note to TPTB, put this in a v5 migration FAQ or something?) NOW about that 4 port PCI-e SATA card....
March 28, 201214 yr GREAT!! Glad you got it working. DFS is for clients what unRAID does automatically for your shares. It merges files and directories to single shares so the shares are consistent and you don't have to have 5 shares from 5 computers to have access to all the data. DFS merges all the shares into one big share. It appears unRAID 4.7 has DFS enabled by default, maybe Tom noticed the problems and disabled it for future builds. If thats the case, since you were running 4.7 and switched to a 5-Beta, your windows box was recognizing the shares coming from the same computer, but wasn't able to identify with DFS, causing your problems.
