I have also this error
Alt-F directory found in sdb2 but not used, aufs mount failed.

That is the reason why the first post commands fails, the Alt-F folder where on-disk packages are installed is not available (in your case looks its is /mnt/sdb2/Alt-F).

Please attach the "System Configuration" and the "hot_aux" logs, System->Utilities, View logs

[João Cardoso]

There are a couple of "not right" info deduced from your posts.

You talk in sda1/sdb1 several times, but they must be reserved and used for swap memory, not for filesystems.

See the message displayed under Disk->Partitioner:" Every internal disk must have a swap partition as its first partition, 0.5GB per 2TB disk is generally enough."

Without swap you might not have not enough (virtual) memory to check your filesystems (run  fsck) on big disks)

It is solved... for now?

now it's working. I removed all "system" folders from "sdb2" after configuring it on "sdb1" (ffp, users etc)

Still not working :

-removed sdb2 disk

-install alt-f on sda2, it was showing the package list

-reboot

-no package list after reboot

Hello,

I've a problem after upgrading to 1.0 from 1.0 snapshot :

I followed the instruction, I think it's updated because in firmware it shows "The box is currently running Alt-F 1.0 with kernel 4.4.86, and is flashed with "Alt-F-1.0, initrd" and kernel "Alt-F-1.0, kernel 4.4.86".

But I can't see package list in "Alt-F Package manager" like before.
How can I do this step ?:

" in order to update the pre-installed packages list:

rm /usr/lib/ipkg/.fixed ipkg -update"

I tried with putty as root but it shows this message

"rm: can't remove '/usr/lib/ipkg/.fixed': No such file or directory"

then this message

Yes it's solved.
Sorry for the error in my posts.
It was sdb2 and sda2.

Now alt-f is on sda2 which is a 1to HD (western digital GREEN). Is it a problem?

No. Alt-F will use that.

The only problem that you will have in the future (and this is a well know problem) is that when you want to do a filesystem check you receive a "can't unmount sda2, stop all services first" message. Even after you stop all services (System->Utilities), you continue receiving the same message; if you try to deactivate Alt-F (Packages->Alt-F) you will most probably receive a message saying "can't deactivate Alt-F", and your only choice will be to do a RebootAndCheck (System->Utilities).

Some users install Alt-F on a cheap USB stick to avoid that issues. You can "move" your current Alt-F install to a USB stick (Packages->Alt-F) after formating it with ext3. It should not have a swap partition or the USB stick will see its live shortened if swap starts being used on your box -- or buy a cheap one.

 

It was previously on sdb2 which is a 4to HD (western digital RED) specific for NAS.

This is off topic (update package list), please start a new post with a proper subject and delete this one. And say what you box model is.

Upgraded to alt-f 1.0 from the earlier snapshot without issues. The instructions were good.

Plugged a WD 1.5TB green drive to a known good USB-3-SATA6gb adapter. Then used the wizard to partition and format the drive. So far, fine. Then I used rsync through a ssh connection to copy from /mnt/sda2 to /mnt/sdc2. Ran for a few minutes then the status page showed that /mnt/sdc2 was RO. The rsync didn't show any error but no progress either.

The error log showed:

• Unable to automatically fix sdc2, mounting Read Only: fsck 1.41.14 (22-Dec-2010)
  e2fsck 1.41.14 (22-Dec-2010)
  e2fsck: need terminal for interactive repairs

• Unable to automatically fix sdc, mounting Read Only: fsck 1.41.14 (22-Dec-2010)
  /dev/sdc has unsupported feature(s): 64bit FEATURE_R10
  e2fsck: Get a newer version of e2fsck!
  
  and sdc disappeared from the list of disks and sdc2 showed zero capacity.
  
  Any ideas?
  
  Thanks,
