Zithras Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Trying to upgrade to unRAID 5.0, I've hit 3 major issues so far. The first, flash drive failure, I'm currently dealing with (ordered new one off newegg, will email new ID for a key request when it comes in Luckily, since I was trying to upgrade, I have a backup from about 10 minutes before failure!). Issues 2 and 3, however, have me needing some help please. 1) Unmenu is installed, and boots just fine. I can download and install packages through the UnMenu package manager, but when I tell them to reinstall on reboot, they don't. I don't have to redownload them, but I'm having to reinstall all plugins each reboot! Is there a manual fix for this? What am I doing wrong? Any ideas? I ran the permissions utility after installing 5.0, and didn't run into any troubles...The unMenu directory is in /unmenu (which becomes /root/unmenu when the server is running), and seems to startup just fine. My go script, however, doesn't seem to be getting edited (/config/go) which is (I think?) what unMenu is supposed to do? 2) BubbaRaid had a graph-based SMART history feature, which let you easily see failing disks by a sharply increasing bad sector count over time. Is there any plugin in 5.0 what will let you see this? UnMenu seems to let you see current SMART test, but I don't see any way to easily view changes in disk performance over time. There's a Smart History tab, but it gives a Sorry: cannot run smarthistory. The /boot/smarthistory directory does not exist. error when I try and use it? How do I setup this feature? Do I simply need to create the directory on the flashdrive? Is there a plugin I need? Thanks for the help! Zithras Link to comment

dgaschk Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 For number 1, it sounds like the flash drive is not writeable. Run check disk on the flash in a PC or Mac. Link to comment
Zithras Posted October 31, 2013 Author Share Posted October 31, 2013 For #2, that is EXACTLY what I am looking for. Downloaded, set Cron to run daily, fixed. For #1, my flashdrive was actually working fine, and nothing was set to read-only that shouldn't have been. I eventually figured out the problem though - I have the old 'startup/custom script setup' structure on my flashdrive, with custom/etc/init.d and rc.d files on the drive. UnMenu apparently looks for these and adds the 'reinstall on reboot' line to a custom script in rc.d if the directory exists, and my ServerStartup.sh was only configured to run those files which I want, not everything I put into rc.d. After I copypasted the autoinstall line from /custom/etc/rc.d/S10-install_custom_packages into my ServerStartup.sh unMenu packages started reinstalling just fine. An obvious solution in retrospect, but I had a bit of a hard time figuring out how unMenu handled autoinstalls - perhaps something to be added into the install documentation (or is it there and I just missed it)?

redlaws Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 I try to take screen shots of my hdd config regulary, & also backup my usb disk & date it onto mc pc in different locations. I do this before any upgrade or change & now know what goes where & can always go back if I need to. Link to comment
