Hi,

Last weekend I did an upgrade via the Firmware Update tool to 16.1, no problems during update.

After the update I had to manually add all the shares, causing issues with the correlating tools like NZBGet. After an hour I have all my files back and no more issues except that the RPi tells me I have 2 identical harddrives while only one is connected.

In this picture you see the disk drives:

Here is what happens when I want to make a new share:

Do you have an idea what causes these issues?

Thank you

Hi knielen,

Did you try to reboot several times the rspb2? To see if the disk doubloon disappears.

About share; did you make some hot-unplugs ?

Hi Jocko,

I allready did a reboot a lot, makes no difference.

No, the USB disk has not been unplugged at all, only did a firmware update.

What's confusing as well is that I have the Rpi 1 B+, but the firmware name is rspb2, I did pick the right download.

For now everything works okay, but it's inconvenient :oops:

Hi knielen,

Currently I have no idea why you lost your shares settings after upgrading. Later, we go to try to reproduce it (but with a backup of the nas database to restore directly them)

So currently you have a corrupted nas database with an orphan disk. Can you post the output of

Code: Select all

grep -A 20 '<disk>' etc/nas_conf_db.xml

grep -A 11 '<vol>' etc/nas_conf_db.xml


Also 2 disks, which are the same :hammerhead

Code: Select all

Ok maybe an explanation.

In version 16.1, I added in the disk_id an instance value (0:0) to handle the case if you plug an hub (otherwise, the disks are the same id).

So when you rebooted the NAS, the firmware added new settings for the disk (id: DE177DE8040000BF-0:0_Samsung_M3_Portable) in the nas database instead of reuse information with id: DE177DE8040000BF_Samsung_M3_Portable. But still I don't understand why the firmware does not remove the obsolete settings :scratch.

But to restore the nas database, I need an additional information (to avoid to lose the share settings as I don't known if the shares created on USB-A-5 use 2000 or 2001 as sharemount point,)

Code: Select all

grep -A 1 '<sharemount>' /etc/nas_conf_db.xml
ls -l /direct-usb

Here it is:

Code: Select all

root@fvdwsl-base:/ # grep -A 1 '<sharemount>' /etc/nas_conf_db.xml
                        <sharemount>1000</sharemount>
                        <volid>1000</volid>
--
                        <sharemount>2001</sharemount>
                        <volid>2001</volid>
--
                        <sharemount>2001</sharemount>
                        <volid>2001</volid>
--
                        <sharemount>2001</sharemount>
                        <volid>2001</volid>

                        <sharemount>2001</sharemount>
                        <volid>2001</volid>
--
                        <sharemount>2001</sharemount>
                        <volid>2001</volid>
--
                                <sharemount>2000</sharemount>
                        </webshare>
root@fvdwsl-base:/ # ls -l /direct-usb
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 11 2011-11-16 12:00 /direct-usb -> /share/2001

Ok

To restore your nas database :
I assume you have create a share "temp" on the SD card
- backup the nas database

Code: Select all

cp /etc/nas_conf_db.xml /share/1000/temp/nas_conf_db.xml.org

- copy the nas database

Code: Select all

cp /etc/nas_conf_db.xml /share/1000/temp

- set write permissions

Code: Select all

chmod a+w /share/1000/temp/nas_conf_db.xml

From a laptop (so you need a full access on the share "temp"), edit nas_conf_db.xml file stored in the share temp:
- remove this disk node:

Code: Select all

<disk>
                        <size>1863.01269531</size>
                        <internal>true</internal>
                        <name>USB-A</name>
                        <system>false</system>
                        <blockdev>/dev/sda</blockdev>
                        <diskid>DE177DE8040000BF_Samsung_M3_Portable</diskid>
                        <model>Samsung_M3_Portable</model>
                        <usb>true</usb>
                        <freesize>0</freesize>
                        <init>true</init>
                        <partitions>
                                <partition>
                                        <lvname>/dev/sda5</lvname>
                                        <volid>2000</volid>
                                        <color>#5088be</color>
                                        <index>0</index>
                                        <size>1863.01269531</size>
                                </partition>
                        </partitions>
                </disk>

(so disk node with diskid DE177DE8040000BF_Samsung_M3_Portable)
and keep only one vol node(you have to keep only one)

Code: Select all

<vol>
                        <volid>2001</volid>
                        <md>/dev/sda5</md>
                        <fs>2001</fs>
                        <lastindex>1</lastindex>
                        <name>USB-A-5</name>
                        <devices/>
                        <raidtype>single</raidtype>
                        <color>#71d975</color>
                        <formatting>0</formatting>
                        <size>1863.01269531</size>
                </vol>

- save it and overwrite the current nas database

Code: Select all

cp  /share/1000/temp/nas_conf_db.xml /etc

So go to the disk setup menu it should be ok now (check also the main share menu)

But do not restart the NAS (you will get again two disks).
I am building a test patch for fixing this bug

Yay, this fixed the problem, looks normal again. I will wait for an update.
Thanks for the quick support! :applause

:-D
See your pm to get the patch file.

To install it you need to have a share 'fvdw' and store it the zip archive.
Then install it by using the upload menu with control code 'unzip'.

If it is OK:

do this tests:
* first step without rebooting your rspb
- do a safe removal (usb disks menu). Of course you need to stop before some servers requiring a share on this disk (cron, nbzget, btsync,....)
- unplug and plug again the disk
- wait a moment and see if the disk is mounted again (usb disks menu), the shares are restored on it (main share menu) and only one USB disk (disk setup menu)

So if it is ok, restart the NAS, and see if all is still ok

Note: later we go to try to reproduce the error.
