Unable to use 1TB hard drive as data location #305

Closed funSoftwareProjects closed 7 years ago

funSoftwareProjects commented 7 years ago

I am trying to use a 1TB hard drive (spinning disk) as the data location with my raspberry pi 2. Every time I try to do this with the NextCloudPi Wizard, I get the message

[ nc-datadir ] Error reading data directory. Is NextCloud running and configured?

I have also received other error messages such as "device is already mounted" or "the directory is not empty" and tried the obvious solution (like deleting data in the drive or unmounting it" but I can't fix it. I can't log into the web interface because it says there is no data directory, but I can log into the config thing at port:4443. I have ssh access currently. Please help! I am planning on using it to sync multiple files across computers, I have gotten it working in the past with just the sd card's small storage, but I can't upgrade to the hard drive.

Thanks!

I just remembered, when I do manage to set up the external drive as the storage source, the data doesn't appear in the drive (/media/7blah blah blah). For some reason it appears in /media/USBdrive. As far as I can tell, the drive is not mounted to /media/USBdrive, and adding files to nextcloud does not put them on the external drive.

Thanks for your help!

Hi,

what's the output of

sudo grep datadirectory /var/www/nextcloud/config/config.php
ls -l /media

Hi,

I just finished a tool to help with support. Please, update

sudo ncp-update

and then post the output of

Thanks for the help!

Also, nextcloudpi never seems to update. When I boot it up and login over ssh, I get this message "NextCloudPi v0.34.15 is up to date". Then when I open raspi-config--> nextcloudpi config it says "Update to v0.36.0?" I do this, it says "Downloading updates Performing updates vm.overcommit_memory = 1" Is it supposed to say that bit at the end? When I reboot it still says v0.34.15" Could this be related?

nachoparker commented 7 years ago

Your data is not at /media/USBdrive/ncdata. Have you been moving files around? Maybe it is that folder in /media/ncdata?

Try this 

sudo mv /media/ncdata /media/USBdrive

And if it doesn't work, output of

mount
funSoftwareProjects commented 7 years ago

Here is the output of mount. Will doing a fresh install have the same effect as mv the files? If I were trying a fresh install, should I try using the wizard to setup the external drive? Does the nextcloud external drive setup use symlinks? What directory would the drive be linked to, /media/USBdrive?

UPDATE: I started fresh and wrote the nextcloud image to the sd card again, and updated with nc-update (which worked fine). I loaded up the nextcloudpi wizard in the browser, formatted the usb drive, then tried to move the data to the usb drive. I got this message: [ nc-format-USB ] /dev/sda: 2 bytes were erased at offset 0x00000438 (ext4): 53 ef Drive sda formatted successfuly and labeled myCloudDrive [ nc-datadir ] Refusing to move to the SD card. Abort

All I see in the /media directory is USBdrive, I don't see any myclouddrive. It kinda looks like the usb drive isn't being mounted properly, despite being formatted correctly.

Hi,

Thanks for reporting again. What you mention surprises me... is automount failing?

Can you try the wizard again, skipping the formatting step?

If it fails, give m the output of

sudo ncp-report
funSoftwareProjects commented 7 years ago

I reran the wizard, sudo ncp-report says:

the wizard fails again in the same place?

ls -l /media doesn't show the drive?

funSoftwareProjects commented 7 years ago

Well, it shows it here:

Now ls /media shows myCloudDrive USBdrive

funSoftwareProjects commented 7 years ago

When I specify /media/USBdrive/ncdata for nc-datadir from the nextcloudpi config website, I get Refusing to move to the SD card. Abort.

nachoparker commented 7 years ago

I think I know what's going in your case. Let's try this

or

funSoftwareProjects commented 7 years ago

Most of the commands failed. I think the drive wasn't automounted. I tried to open the wizard, but it didn't work, so I opened the nextcloud web interface first and then tried the wizard and it worked. In the wizard, I automounted the usb drive then tried to format it, but of course it said it was still mounted. I unmounted it via the terminal, and tried formatting it again, which took quite a while. The formatting was succesfull and it said Drive sda formatted successfuly and labeled myCloudDrive, but then when I tried to move the data directory it said [ nc-datadir ] /media/USBdrive does not exist

So I did sudo mkdir /media/USBdrive and then sudo mount /dev/sda /media/USBdrive and that command didn't work. I tried some other commands and then tried nc-datadir again and it said [ nc-datadir ] Refusing to move to the SD card. Abort

funSoftwareProjects commented 7 years ago

What directory is nc-datadir looking for? Can I just mount the drive manually in the right spot?

nachoparker commented 7 years ago

ok, that's what I thought, so let's see why you are not getting the link...

nachoparker commented 7 years ago

What directory is nc-datadir looking for? Can I just mount the drive manually in the right spot?

Yes, we can do that. I am trying to investigate why it is not working for you, so I can fix it for others. It is strange because in all this time this hasn't happened before

Do you think the reason I am having the problem is due to the hard drive's power strain on the pi? Everything seems to be fine though.

ok, udiskie can't mount it but you can mount it manually... smells bad. Did you format it with the wizard ?

can you try doing that again? careful, if you have data it will be lost.

I could format it again, it takes a long time.

nachoparker commented 7 years ago

let's try that

funSoftwareProjects commented 7 years ago

It's formatting right now.
