installation error

[happyreacer]

I install the flashmemoryplugin over the webgui. On the installation it throw it out from the webgui to the loginside. I cant login anymore. i see on my omv system the error [450.125706] tmpfs: Unknown parameter '#keep_folder_strukture folder2ram does not have an equivalent yet

[ryecoaaron]

I think the folder2ram update not the plugin is causing this. I will have to check it out. it hasn’t blocked me from the web interface though.

[happyreacer]

even after uninstalling via ssh and the apt-get remove openmediavault-flashmemory I still cannot log in to the web interface btw i have already cleaned my browsercache

[Trottel]

Same situation here. After flashmemory and folder2ram plugins update, I can't login to web interface.

[adiulalam]

same here, tried (sudo apt-get --purge remove openmediavault-flashmemory) but does not work

[ryecoaaron]

“does not work” doesn’t help. I’m not near a computer. So people will just have to be patient.

[happyreacer]

So people will just have to be patient.

@ryecoaaron No problem, I'll wait and be glad I'm not alone

[ryecoaaron]

I pulled the update. Have you rebooted? What version of OMV? I just painfully tried this from my phone and had no problems on OMV 5.

[ryecoaaron]

folder2ram -disablesystemd folder2ram -unmountall

might help if you can't uninstall.

[adiulalam]

OMV5, rebooted and tried to reinstall, still same issue

[ryecoaaron]

other commands?

apt-get install folder2ram=0.3.1

This is from memory so you might need to do some thinking

[yllekz]

Chiming in here because this seems to have nuked my OMV web interface and now I can't log in nor update anything.

I was able to get logged back in by adding write permissions to /var/lib/php/sessions folder and then a nginx -s reload Its not permanent and a reboot will lock you out again so I had to remove the plugin and now its fine.

[solved, see below] ~~Do you mind sharing the command you used to do the write permission adjustment? I tried sudo chmod +rwx /var/lib/php/sessions but that doesn't seem to have done anything.~~

Do you mind sharing the command you used to do the write permission adjustment? I tried sudo chmod +rwx /var/lib/php/sessions but that doesn't seem to have done anything.

I tried doing the same and it didn't work for me so I had to use WinSCP and change the permissions from the properties of the folder.

[yllekz]

got it, even WinSCP denied me. I had to delete and recreate it using mkdir:

sudo rm -rf /var/lib/php/sessions
sudo mkdir -m 777 /var/lib/php/sessions
ls /var/lib/php -l
sudo nginx -s reload

Then the web interface started working for me. Like you said though, it might only be temporary.

Went to plugins, found openmediavault-flashmemory 5.0.6 and uninstalled it.

Rebooted the Pi and the web interface still works.

Now for getting the plugin reinstalled....Now that the web interface works again I can wait for the permanent solution...

[ryecoaaron]

I didn’t test on an rpi and of course, that always bites me. grrr. did anyone try the disable commands??!

[bobafetthotmail]

folder2ram script is in /sbin/folder2ram, while the plugin is calling it from /usr/sbin/folder2ram and obviously this returns an error. /usr/sbin/folder2ram: No such file or directory see here for the file where that is defined https://github.com/OpenMediaVault-Plugin-Developers/openmediavault-flashmemory/blob/master/srv/salt/omv/deploy/flashmemory/default.sls

Also the error at the first post is a comment in the folder2ram config file. [450.125706] tmpfs: Unknown parameter '#keep_folder_strukture folder2ram does not have an equivalent yet

makes me think that the same file I linked above is not generating a correct config file for folder2ram, as now what is a comment in that file is used as mount option for the tmpfs and this of course results in error and nothing is mounted.

OMV web interface fails to run if it does not find some of the folders defined in this plugin, I think the "/var/lib/php" folder is the one, as also confirmed by others above.

It might be worth removing it from the list so possible future issues won't block the web interface, afaik the main writes happen in the /var/lib/rrdcached/ and /var/lib/openmediavault/rrd anyway (the statistic databases for the performance graphs are stored there, and updated every few seconds)

[ryecoaaron]

folder2ram script is in /sbin/folder2ram, while the plugin is calling it from /usr/sbin/folder2ram and obviously this returns an error. /usr/sbin/folder2ram: No such file or directory see here for the file where that is defined

On Debian 10 (OMV 5.x), /sbin/ is a symlink to /usr/sbin/. This symlink may not be created on upgraded systems. So, I will change it.

I will also remove /var/lib/php.

[ryecoaaron]

5.0.7 in the repo now.

[yllekz]

Will that make its way out via the usual update channels or do we need to grab it manually somehow?

[ryecoaaron]

in the repo means apt-get update and apt-get upgrade will install the updates

[happyreacer]

@ryecoaaron thank's a lot. 5.0.7 works !

Still not working for me on OMV 4. I tried to apt update and apt upgrade (as well as apt-get both) Should I uninstall those first ?

[ryecoaaron]

I guess so. I will have to push out an update in a while.

[ryecoaaron]

4.2.2 is in the repo.

[ChriKn]

Hi Aaron, sadly the update has not changed much on my end... I updates/upgraded and rebooted, but still unable to login correctly... What can I do to help ?

[ryecoaaron]

for omv 4.x, I would: omv-mkconf nginx omv-mkconf php-fpm systemctl restart nginx systemctl restart php7.0-fpm

[ChriKn]

Just did that, sadly not changing anything (might also be an error on my side... I am not a linux genius...)

[ChriKn]

It just worked by running these : sudo rm -rf /var/lib/php/sessions sudo mkdir -m 777 /var/lib/php/sessions ls /var/lib/php -l sudo nginx -s reload

Sorry if I misread something. Thought the update was doing the fix on itself...

[spikysimonw]

Hi, thanks for the quick turn-around getting this fixed!

Can someone please confirm the default out-the-box permissions for /var/lib/php/sessions (while a wide-open 777 obviously works, very much doubt this was the default)?

[spikysimonw]

for omv 4.x, I would: omv-mkconf nginx omv-mkconf php-fpm systemctl restart nginx systemctl restart php7.0-fpm

Doesn't recreate the required /var/lib/php/sessions directory unfortunately, needs to be removed then recreated manually (with correct permissions).

[adatum]

I had the same problem with a "login loop" after an update and reboot. At that point I could still access the system through SSH. Later, I saw an update to flashmemory plugin and installed it and rebooted. Since then, SSH connections are refused by OMV.

I tried chmod 777 /var/lib/php/sessions but at this point it made no difference.

Any ideas what could be wrong? It seems I no longer have access to my OMV device, but I could edit files by putting the SD card with the OMV installation on another machine. If only I could know what to look for.

[dgayubo]

for omv 4.x, I would: omv-mkconf nginx omv-mkconf php-fpm systemctl restart nginx systemctl restart php7.0-fpm

Thanks @ryecoaaron . It's works for me!

@adatum In /etc/rc.local Try to add the line: chmod 777 /var/lib/php/sessions

[adatum]

@adatum In /etc/rc.local Try to add the line: chmod 777 /var/lib/php/sessions

I already have /var/lib/php/sessions with 777 permissions. How is adding that in rc.local going to help?

Right now my problem is that SSH connections to OMV are refused, and I don't know why, or what else may now be broken. Any ideas for diagnosing this?

[ryecoaaron]

once you install the updated plugin, you should only have to fix those permissions once. No need to put in rc.local.

If ssh isnt working, disable it and apply and then enable it and apply from web interface.

[adatum]

@ryecoaaron Perhaps I wasn't clear. The web interface isn't working, and neither is SSH at this point, so I can't probe if/how OMV is working when booted on my Odroid HC2.

This total breakdown happened after updating the flashmemory plugin to 4.2.2 (I think) and rebooting.

The only recourse I seem to have is to edit files on the OMV SD card on another machine.

[ryecoaaron]

Ah, that is a problem with the hc1/2 unless you have a serial device. If you put the sd card in another machine, you would need to chroot into the sd card environment to really fix things but a lot of OMV things don’t work in chroot. Re-installing is going to be easiest unless you have an xu4 sitting around.

[adatum]

I don't have a serial device or xu4. Before resorting to reinstalling, do you have any suggestions to try?

[ryecoaaron]

make sure log directories and config files are there. hard to say

[adatum]

Log files (in /var/log) and config files (eg /etc/openmediavault/config.xml and /etc/sysctl.conf) are there. But I noticed that the timestamps/entries in the log file end at the time of the reboot after which I lost SSH access. Further boots don't seem to add to the logs.
