December 20, 201015 yr Author any plans to make the preclear script part of unmenu ? we have already a disk management tab just add a button for each drive in the "not in protected array" part of the screen and remove the cache drive from there ... he has his own section anyway on the main screen or you could make a new tab for it... then you can make a progress screen... just make sure the disks in the array can not be precleared would make it easier for us lazy people anyway love the preclear function... another 4 disks to clear and then can take advantage of all 12 drive That will more than likely NOT happen in the current version of unMenu. It waits for output to come back and the preclear script would hang the browser for 30 hours (depending on the size of the drive). Once 5.0 is stable the preclear script may get an update to integrated it into the native 5.0 web interface. That is probably a ways off though and won't happen in the near future. True... I would love to get a graphical interface... but would not want to wait 30+ hours for a web-page to finish loading. It will take a re-structure of the preclear script. I would need to split up the clearing task from the display/monitoring task. Then we could start the task in the background, let it run, and then check on its status occasionally. Joe L.
December 20, 201015 yr ls -l /boot/unmenu/images (we expect the "images" directory to have been created and in it a "stock" sub-directory with most of the image files.

December 20, 201015 yr Author The only thing left is to look at the files in the "stock" subdirectory. ls -l /boot/unmenu/stock and to see if it got linked to the /var directory. type ls -l /var/log the output should look much like this (we are interested in the line in BLUE showing the link from "images" to /boot/unmenu/images): -rw-r----- 1 root root 80 Dec 18 23:54 acpid -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Dec 18 23:54 cron -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 27867 Dec 18 23:54 dmesg lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 26 Dec 18 23:54 images -> /boot/unmenu/images/ drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Dec 18 23:54 packages/ -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 17973 Dec 20 00:27 release_list drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Dec 18 23:54 removed_packages/ drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Dec 18 23:54 removed_scripts/ drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 0 Dec 18 23:54 samba/ drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Dec 18 23:54 scripts/ drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 0 Dec 6 18:18 setup/ -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 253452 Dec 20 15:09 syslog As I said in my earlier post, the images sub-directory needs to be linked to the /var/log directory for the image server to find them That "link" is only made once when you first invoke the myMain plugin.

December 21, 201015 yr Not sure where to ask this question. I have unmenu installed and using the email notification script. It was working perfectly when i was on 4.5.6. I had upgraded to 4.5.8. Whenever i reboot my unraid server the machine always does a parity check. Don't really mind this and never thought about it. Receive email notifications throughout the time telling me on an hourly basis of how much time is left as well as percentage complete. Now here is the weird problem, since upgrading both 4.5.8 and the latest unmenu. I keep getting emails every hour saying that it is "Parity CHECK/RESYNC in progress, 0% complete, est. finish in 0 minutes. Speed: 0 kb/s." even after it has completed. The mymenu and "unraid mani" both say Parity has been completed and is ok. What is going on?
December 21, 201015 yr The only thing left is to look at the files in the "stock" subdirectory. ls -l /boot/unmenu/stock and to see if it got linked to the /var directory. type ls -l /var/log the output should look much like this (we are interested in the line in BLUE showing the link from "images" to /boot/unmenu/images): -rw-r----- 1 root root 80 Dec 18 23:54 acpid -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Dec 18 23:54 cron -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 27867 Dec 18 23:54 dmesg lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 26 Dec 18 23:54 images -> /boot/unmenu/images/ drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Dec 18 23:54 packages/ -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 17973 Dec 20 00:27 release_list drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Dec 18 23:54 removed_packages/ drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Dec 18 23:54 removed_scripts/ drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 0 Dec 18 23:54 samba/ drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Dec 18 23:54 scripts/ drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 0 Dec 6 18:18 setup/ -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 253452 Dec 20 15:09 syslog As I said in my earlier post, the images sub-directory needs to be linked to the /var/log directory for the image server to find them That "link" is only made once when you first invoke the myMain plugin.

December 21, 201015 yr dertbv, upgrade to unRAID 4.6. The 4.5.7 and 4.5.8 had some changes to the drive status reporting that affected addons. This was fixed in 4.6.

December 21, 201015 yr Author What version of unRAID are you running? I see that the permissions on the files in your images/stock directory make the images readable only by root on your server, and on mine they are readable by anybody. Is the /boot/unmenu folder on your flash drive? Something about your server is making the permissions on the downloaded files in the images directory different. Perhaps you'll be able to describe what might be different? In any case, it is easy to see why you do not see the images on the web-browser. The unMENU image-server is being run as user "nobody" and therefore would not have permission to read the image files on your server. (they are currently only readable by user "root") The solution is to make your image files readable by all (and the directories search-able by all too). Type the following commands and odds are good you'll see the images. chmod og+rx /var/log/images chmod +rx /var/log/images/stock chmod +r /var/log/images/* chmod +r /var/log/images/stock/* Joe L.

December 24, 201015 yr i have just setup a new box with the latest 4.6 and unmenu and for some reason on the performance section of the "MyMain" screen there is no send/receive I/O transfer rates displayed. what would cause this? thanks James
December 24, 201015 yr Are you currently transferring any files? It will only display when the disks are being accessed.
December 24, 201015 yr yep, i have 2TB going right now and all i see id the writes column increasing with the reads column barely increasing.
December 24, 201015 yr Author yep, i have 2TB going right now and all i see id the writes column increasing with the reads column barely increasing. Reads are often handled from the buffer memory cache. You might not see it go to the disk at all unless it is not in memory. Joe L.

December 30, 201015 yr Does the unmenu_install -c command download new updates, or just checked to see if there are any new updates?
December 30, 201015 yr Author Does the unmenu_install -c command download new updates, or just checked to see if there are any new updates? The "-c" option just alerts you of updates. It does not download or install them. It does download a "release_list" that contains the file names and expected checksums. Those files on your server are compared to determine if they have those checksums. If they do not, or if they are missing on your server, they will be downloaded and installed if you subsequently invoke with the -u option. The release_list looks like this: http://code.google.com/p/unraid-unmenu/source/browse/trunk/release_list Joe L.

December 31, 201015 yr Joe, can I suggest one improvement to the MySQL package? There are some options that can be invoked in MySQL initialization that are able to increase the database performance, such as key buffer size, etc. IMHO, the users should be able to parse them to MySQL. So I propose: a) the addition of one variable: PACKAGE_VARIABLE Custom parameters||vDBCUSTOM=||Custom options parsed to MySQL. See more info <a href="http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/mysqld-safe.html">here</a>. b) replace the line #40 to: PACKAGE_INSTALLATION echo "/usr/bin/mysqld_safe --datadir=/mnt/${vDISKLABEL-disk1}/mysql/ --user=root --pid-file=/var/run/mysql/mysql.pid ${vDBCUSTOM} &" >>/etc/rc.d/unraid.d/rc.unraid_mysqld

December 31, 201015 yr I think this is where I should post this. I am trying to use the Dupe Files, but it doesn't seem to do anything. I know there are Dupe Files because it shows them in the Syslog on the main unmenu page. Another problem too when i actually click the SysLog link all I get is a e 0 at the top. When I click the dupe files button it takes about 2 seconds and then shows Duplicate Files on Disk Shares and File with nothing else. Any help? EDIT: Nevermind about syslog, just needed to restart unmenu. Still same problem with dupe files though...
December 31, 201015 yr Author Do your file names or directory names possibly have quote marks or other special characters in their names?
