Exactly.
#752 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] nfs trouble on Chimaera » 2022-02-19 20:54:58
Got the problem. It was a simple "-" in the wrong place in the /etc/default/nfs-kernel-server. I had in there:
RPCMOUNTDOPTS="--manage-gids --debug-all"Removing the dash in second option changing it to "--debug all" made the script work.

Had to freshly install my file server. The system SSD was defective, data isn't affected. Now the nfs server won't start up. Error message is:
# service nfs-kernel-server restart
Stopping NFS kernel daemon: mountd nfsd.

Background info: Xeon 4 core CPU on X99-E WS, 32G RAM, 256G Plextor nvme as system disk, LSI9271 supplying a RAID6 with about 5TB space, two more disks for single shares. Installed from Chimaera netinstall, encrypted LVM, openrc as init, manual installation of xorg, lightdm, Mate desktop, nfs-common, nfs-kernel-server. Latest stock kernel and backports kernels available, 5.15 is the default. It does not matter which one I do boot. The RAID6 is nicely decrypted and mounted, also the two other disks. The export file is a copy of the original one from a backup. Most of the setup I have taken from my notes. Everything should work.
The above error is shown as well during boot as when I try to restart the nfs-server. Also showmount throws an error. The duck does not give hints to this error.
Also tried to drill down how the nfs-server is started. The script in /etc/rc0.d does not contain this specific error printout. How can I find the root cause for the startup failure?
Thanks, rolfie

From man wipefs:
wipefs allows to erase filesystem or raid signatures (magic strings) from the device to make the filesystem invisible for libblkid. wipefs does not erase the whole filesystem or any other data from the device. When used without options -a or -o, it lists all visible filesystems and offsets of their signatures.
#759 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » Micro SD card problem, cannot fix errors. » 2022-01-26 15:04:17
I am not 100% sure what you try to tell us. You say are aware of the bit that only on "Apply" the actual changes are written to the SD cards. Ok, another bit: gparted is a tool that works on partition information and everything around that, not on file systems directly. Its basically a graphical interface for fdisk and mkfs.
Well, after the "Apply" has finished gparted re-reads the partitioning information for all the devices that are available. If then the same structures are presented for the SD card, then obviously the write operation wasn't successful. I would claim that gparted works quite well. And I would conclude that the involved HW isn't working correctly. If gparted displays that the SD card now is empty, then that is the information that came back from the HW.
What exactly means:
The bit I have a problem with is that gparted tells me it had success in deleting the partition, when it clearly didnt, if I unplug and then plug it in again, I can read the files straight away, no windows involved.
This would be some sort of miracle. Maybe SD card and reader are not compatible, or some sort of buffer is involved, or the SD cards are simply crap.
You seem to have tried dd also, also with no result.
If you sum up all these bits and bytes, what do you think about cards and reader?

#760 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » Micro SD card problem, cannot fix errors. » 2022-01-26 11:29:20
Some thoughts to the issues:
When plugging in the SD card reader and the card itself: inspect dmesg for hints if the device is write protected.
To gparted: I am using gparted for many years and never had it fail. I started of with gparted life versions, still use them every now and then.
There may be a trap for the unexperienced user: you can prepare a lot of operations, but these are not executed on the real HW before you don't tick the apply button. Are you aware of this?
In addition I suggest to tick the Device Information box in the View menu. Gives you confirmation that you are working on the right device.
If that does not work the card may be defective.

Can't this simply be the su/su - issue with paths?
@OP: have you read the release notes of Beowulf/Chimaera and the changed path setting?

Well, I want to scan a lot of private documents. My flatbed LIDE220 is fine for a few pages, for more stuff it takes too much time to feed the paper and to turn it if its double sided.
So I am searching for a Linux supported document scanner, holding 20-50 pages, duplex unit, preferred USB3 interface, maybe with ultrasound sensor for a double pull detection.
Suggestions welcome,

My experience is that a reboot past the last upgrade step clears away one or the other hickup with configurations that get lost during such a process.

#766 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » [SOLVED] USB Memory stick issue » 2022-01-11 20:58:51
I own two old USB2 memory sticks with 512 MByte, formatted as FAT16. They work fine with Cinnamon/Mate Desktop being automounted etc.
Your stick has an issue with the entries in the partition table:
1.) sdc: detected capacity change from 0 to 521928192
2.) sdc: p1 size 1019340 extends beyond EOD, enabling native capacity
3.) sdc: p1 size 1019340 extends beyond EOD, truncated
Unmount and run a file system check on that device.

#767 Re: Other Issues » Escaping the Kiosk » 2022-01-06 21:35:03
For private use you may set up a file server with Linux, holding the data on any file system you like. I run mine with ext4. Some specialists claim that zfs may be better.
I have Samba installed to be able to serve Windows PCs via network, the same files are available to my Linux workstations via nfs.
I have started my file server nearly 20 years ago based on Sarge, still working on Windows. 10 years ago I switched my private family network to Linux workstations, still keeping the ability to use WinXP, Win7 on older PCs and in VMs. The file server in the background still does the job, though I have migrated it to Chimaera. The Samba setup is ages old, just no more SMB1 supported.
I don't care about defrag, thats a Windows topic for me nowadays. I see no need to care ...
HTH, rolfie

Please check the Release Notes (https://files.devuan.org/devuan_chimaer … _notes.txt) for the path/su issue.
How did you do your install? Sounds a bit like Expert Mode and leaving out one or the other step ...

#770 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Cannot mount exfat » 2021-12-15 21:31:00
Not any file system on any USB stick will found on /dev/sd(X), it always will be on /dev/sd(X)1 or higher.
Use any stick with FAT32, you have to mount it with /dev/sd(X)1.

#771 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Cannot mount exfat » 2021-12-15 18:14:21
# mount /dev/sdc /mnt/ mount: /mnt: unknown filesystem type 'exfat'.
This is obvious. You can't have an exfat file system at /dev/sdc, at the most you'll find a partition table there.
Try to use:
# mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt/rolfie
#772 Re: Devuan » Updating to Chimaera - Marginally Painless » 2021-12-12 18:21:55
On the top of the forum page is a link to Devuan.org where you can find the official documentation and several howtos.
Myself I have upgraded my wifes PC and my file server from Beowulf to Chimaera without any issues. My PC is using parallel installation of Arch/Beowulf/Chimaera. I have moved my activities from Beowulf to Chimaera early summer this year before Chimaera even got stable.
General advice: disable any foreign repositories during the upgrade.

Thank you, drilling down into modules and devices showed no /dev/mapper nor cryptsetup traces.
Rebooted from the netinstall in rescue mode: installed cryptsetup-bin and cryptsetup-initramfs, now it works. Both packages need to be added to the installer.

Installed from the Daedalus netinstall preview dated Nov. 29th in VBox 6.1.28. Efi mode, encrypted LVM,, just basic system install, no GUI. Install went fine, the first reboot ends in an endless loop of messages "Volume group vgsys not found. Cannot process volume group vgsys." Does not ask for the PW, eventually ends in the initramfs shell. When I try to open the encrypted volume I get "cryptsetup not found".
An upgraded VM based on Chimaera works fine.
Whats wrong?
