Connection keeps dropping

My server keeps dropping connection. When I try to access my server using the IP address it won't let me see the shares. When I try to access my dashboard it won't connect. If I shutdown and restart the server I'm able to access it for a brief time before it disconnects again. An interesting thing i...

Permission needed to copy files...

Good evening. I had a issue with a hard drive failing and was unable to boot my server. I got that issue corrected but now have a couple of additional issues. I have two questions: 1. When I try to copy a file (i.e., movie) from my PC to my Movie directory on my Amahi server, I'm getting a message s...

Adding hard drive

Good morning. I am adding two additional 2tb hard drive to my amahi server. I have the greyhole UI installed. When I access Amahi, I can see them listed as /dev/sdb and /dev/sde. They aren't showing under Greyhole drive pooling. What do I need to do to get these "seen" by Amahi and Greyhol...

Re: Cannot open access to console. The root account is locked.

First I wanted to thank you for all your help with this issue so far. I've determined which drive is bad. I've commented it out of /etc/fstab and physically removed it from my server. I've seen instructions on how to add a drive, but how do I actually "replace" a drive and get it back in t...

Re: Cannot open access to console. The root account is locked.

OK. I commented out the extra drives and we're making progress! Now my server boots. I can access my server on my network. The control panel show it is online. My folders are there but I'm not seeing any data (which would make sense). I would assume that one of the drives is bad. What are my next st...

Re: Cannot open access to console. The root account is locked.

Did reset the root password. Still not able to boot. Since I won't have my drive layouts, how would i rebuild without losing data after a fresh install?

Thanks for all the help so far.

Re: Cannot open access to console. The root account is locked.

No I didn't. Simply turned off the server to move it to a different location and ever since have had this problem. If I install Amahi from scratch, how would I rebuild by data and greyhole drives without losing my data, since i can't get a print out of the information now using your migration guide?...

Re: Cannot open access to console. The root account is locked.

Using Amahi 11. I can't get to a login. Keeps indicating it wants to boot to Emergency mode and to hit enter. Hitting enter just goes into a loop that says cannot open access to console and the root account is locked and to press enter to enter Emergency mode. Concerned that I will loose all my data...

Cannot open access to console. The root account is locked.

I upgrade to the current version of Amahi about a month ago. Everything was working fine. I turned off my server today to move it to a different location and not get the error "cannot open access to console. Root account is locked". I have not access to the server for my files or to use as...

Can't edit dnf.conf

I've install the Plex media server manually per the wiki instructions. I'm trying to edit the dnf.conf file per the instructions but everytime I do i get a permssion denied message.

I've logged on as root using the sudo su - command.

Any help to get this edited would be appreciated.

Thank.s
