Missing Apps Tab and unable to update community.applications

[goce]

Hello everybody,

 

I have notice that my app menu is missing.
So I had a look at the syslog. And there is so many errors

 

Oct 21 17:33:45 NAS2 emhttpd: Starting services...
Oct 21 17:33:47 NAS2 emhttpd: error: put_config_idx, 609: Read-only file system (30): fopen: /boot/config/shares/domains.cfg
Oct 21 17:33:47 NAS2 emhttpd: error: put_config_idx, 609: Read-only file system (30): fopen: /boot/config/shares/ftpfiles.cfg

Oct 21 17:33:47 NAS2 emhttpd: Starting services...

 

This is going back all the way back to 19 of Oct.

I have rebooted the NAS 8 days ago.

I then read somewhere that the issue might be related to the Plugins
So I went to the community.application. I see there is an update.
When i try and update it I get this error

Ok So I was looking around and in my Docker I see there were some update ready. But when I try and update I get this error

"Configuration not found. Was this container created using this plugin?"

 

Something has happened big time.  
My Boot Device is all green light and my Disk are all green light.

I am running pihole

Can someone help me out here ?

Please post your diagnostics: Tools -> Diagnostics, but looks like problems with your flash drive.

[goce]

Hi Johnnie,

 

Thanks for the quick reply. 

 

I have attached Diagnostics zip file.

When I come to fix about it. I did receive a error alert on my flash drive. But after a reboot it came good again.

 

If the issue is related to the Flash drive is going bad. Can I ghost the drive to another flash drive and use the new one ?

[JorgeB]

Because of all the errors syslog rotated so can't see the beginning of the problem, power down, check filesystem on the flashdrive using your desktop, then power back on and if still issues grab and post new diags.

 

P:S: if you're using an USB 3.0 port change to USB 2.0.

[goce]

So just use windows check disk on the flash disk ?

[JorgeB]

Yes

[goce]

I will have to do this tomorrow.  My vm in unraid is doing some work and i can stop it.

 

I will give you the results. 

 

But is it possible to ghost the usb to another flash drive amd use the new ghosted drive?

[JorgeB]

It's possible to image the flash drive, if it's working correctly, but it's also enough to just backup the config folder, create (or recreate) the flash drive using the USB creator tool and restore the config folder, if using a different flash drive you'll also need to request a license transfer.

[goce]

Cool.first  i will do a scan of the drive .

But before i do it i should back up the configuration like you have advise.

Is there a web page showing how to do this ?

[JorgeB]

Just copy the folder named config on the flash drive, you can access it over Lan, it's the share called flash.

[goce]

Cool

 

Thanks for that

[goce]

PLEASE HELP.

I took the flash disk out and Windows did a diskscan. All good.

Then i placed the flash disk back into the pc. 

Unraid booted up with the correct  Ip.

I can ping it and telnet to it. But thats it.

I can access the unraid web page. I cant access the shares. 

 

PLEASE HELP. I hooe i havnt lost any of the data.

 

I dont know what to do.

from the command prompt

diagnostics

 

Then post the resulting file saved on the flash drive here

[goce]

Ok here you go. 

I did have a quick look and found this erro

 

Oct 22 10:57:50 NAS2 emhttpd: error: get_key_info, 584: Invalid argument (22): get_message: /boot/config/Basic.key (-3)

lol  Kinda hard to miss that one.

 

I would edit /config/disk.cfg on the flash and change startArray="yes" to be startArray="no"

 

Probably won't fix the problem, but maybe it'll get you into the webUI.  My guess is that the .key file is messed up due to the file corruption you had.

[goce]

I tried that but no luck. Still cant get the web dashboard up.

I change it from yes to no then shutdown.

restarted it in GUI mode and when I went to the web interface. Still no luck .

 

 

[Squid]

Rename the .key file from Basic.key to be Basic.oldkey

 

Reboot.

[goce]

I did that and tried it from the NAS itself via GUI no luck. And I tried it from my pc no luck.

I'm really starting to worry that I lost my data.

Extremely unlikely.

 

Make a new USB stick with LT's USB Creator Tool.  It should at least get you to a webUI.  If that works, then copy from the old flash to the new one the Basic.key file and boot again.  It will either give you the ton of errors again or it will walk you through transferring the key.  If it transfers, then reassign your drives.  If it gives you all the errors again, then register the flash as a trial and contact Limetech to manually transfer the registration over to the new stick.

Its just not my day. I have downloaded the USB creator onto 3 different PC and they wont pick up the formatted USB flash disk.

I got to find another disk to try it out

 

[Squid]

You can always do it manually

 

Format a fresh USB ( less than 32G ) as FAT32.  Name the drive UNRAID

Extract the contents of the zip file downloaded from LT's website onto the flash

Run as Administrator the make_bootable.bat script

[goce]

ok i got the new USB up and running.

The web interface is up and running too .

Now I need to get a new key or can i use my old key ?

[goce]

It see the two disk. But I dont know which disk was my main disk and the other parity .

If you only have two disks, then you would assign the larger one as parity if they are different sizes or if they're the same size then it doesn't matter which is which.

 

Logging off til the morning, but if something comes up as unmountable then wait for someone else to take over before you do anything else

Ok I sent a email to support requesting a new key (transfer key).

nas2-diagnostics-20181021-2038.zip

I can't do anything until the key is sorted out.  As I am getting a 

Blacklisted USB Flash GUID

Flash Vendor: SMI

Flash Product: USB_DISK

Flash GUID: 090C-1000-0000-000000000000

 

I have attached the diagnostic file from the new USB flash disk.

I believe I did mange to sort out which disk is the main disk and which is the parity . 

I log a call ages ago about parity 

There it has what disk is what.
