UUID #122

Closed outdoorbits closed 3 years ago

outdoorbits commented 3 years ago

Change mounting from LUM (like sda) to UUID. That makes remounting possible without creating disorders by new LUMs (sda gets sdb, UUID is still the same. Configuration is a bit easier. In config.cfg devices are not needed anymore. Instead of that config.cfg gets a new option for the pattern to recognize USB-devices. In webUI renamed Repair to Tools and add buttons for mount/umount USB-storages. This will be extended for iOS.

Is this the „fix“ I‘m waiting for?

outdoorbits commented 3 years ago

I'm not sure. Your posted System Info was after broken sync, right? That means, the devices stayed in place (sda1/sdb1). But sdb1 was not mounted anymore (or at all?). If UUID will be merged, we'll have a webUI-based mount-function and maybe get new information...

Did you try Repair -> Check/Repair with the broken cards and your storage?

ruebyi commented 3 years ago

Yes, that’s how it happened.

No repair was not for exfat I thought.

outdoorbits commented 3 years ago

Hi, exfat seems to work. Could you try?

-e sudo umount /dev/sdb1:

sudo fsck -a /dev/sdb1: fsck from util-linux 2.33.1 exfatfsck 1.3.0 Checking file system on /dev/sdb1. File system version 1.0 Sector size 512 bytes Cluster size 32 KB Volume size 29 GB Used space 3936 KB Available space 29 GB Totally 0 directories and 0 files. File system checking finished. No errors found.

-e sudo umount /dev/sdb1:

sudo fsck /dev/sdb1: fsck from util-linux 2.33.1 exfatfsck 1.3.0 Checking file system on /dev/sdb1.

Good news, I also have trouble with exfat, so I can investigate tonight... ;-)

ruebyi commented 3 years ago

„Good“… Thanks o looking into this

outdoorbits commented 3 years ago

My xqd-card-problems are solved by the last bugfix in uuid! :-))) Hope it will help you too. In your case there could also exist another problem: If unmounted, are the folders /media/storage and /media/source empty?

There is a major flaw in the install-little-backup-box.sh script. The following commands specify the working directory:

WORKING_DIR="$(cd "$(dirname "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}")" && pwd)/scripts"
CONFIG="${WORKING_DIR}/config.cfg"

The problem is that if you run the installer as described in the README file using the command curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dmpop/little-backup-box/main/install-little-backup-box.sh | bash, the entire installation goes wrong because WORKING_DIR is home/user/pi/scripts

I think WORKING_DIR must be specified after running git clone https://github.com/dmpop/little-backup-box.git
