Jail not working after restart

[Roelf]

I setup TheBrig, and the jail worked. I also installed Plex inside the jail.

Once i restarted N4F, the jail did not start again.

I cannot get the jail to start again (also the "Stop", "start" button on TheBrig does not seem to work)

Any help appreciated !

devfs must be checked.

In all cases, you can start alcatraz jail aover command line

Code: Select all

/etc/rc.d/thebrig start {jailname}

and check current status

Code: Select all

/etc/rc.d/thebrig status

Also please goto backup/restore page, save jail's config and publish it here

[Roelf]

If i run the commands you gave me, I get:

nas4free: / # etc/rc.d/thebrig start Plex
Starting jails: security.jail.enforce_statfs: 0 -> 0
Plex Plex already exists

Though it says it exists, if I type "jls" i get this:

nas4free: / # jls
JID IP Address Hostname Path
nas4free: / #


Here's the info from the Config.

Though it says it exists, if I type "jls" i get this:

nas4free: / # jls
JID IP Address Hostname Path
nas4free: / #

go to /var/run and finfd file jail_Plex.id (or something )/ Remove it manually.
Then edit jail and check mout devfs
then try to start/stop jail over command line

I did that - it does not give the same error - but it says "no such file or directory" - and that is because of it being "plex" instead of "Plex" - but i cannot find the place to correct it...

[alexey123]

when I return at home, I check your config

[Roelf]

thanks

[Roelf]

OK - so i've corrected that problem - in the fstab.plex
I found it in the folder /mnt/Viking/Twin/Jail/conf/jails

Now however i seem to have a problem with a way i specified the mounts.

nas4free: run # /etc/rc.d/thebrig start Plex
Starting jails: security.jail.enforce_statfs: 0 -> 0
Plex mount_nullfs: /mnt (/mnt) and /mnt/Viking/Twin/Jail/Plex/mnt/Media are not distinct paths
jail: Plex: /sbin/mount -t nullfs -o rw /mnt /mnt/Viking/Twin/Jail/Plex/mnt/Media: failed

[Roelf]

i have now managed to get it all running - after various re-installs and jail reconfiguring

I also now have Plex running. However I am having difficulty with the mount points.

I can see the directories in Plex (when adding a directory for movies) but I cannot get "into" the directories. I suspect it a permission problem. After reading through pages and pages on FreeBSD site i cannot figure it out...

I have the following in TheBrig under the "fstab for current jail"
/mnt/Viking/Twin/Media /mnt/Viking/Twin/Jail/Plex/mnt/Twin nullfs rw 0 0
/mnt/Alien/Singleton/Media /mnt/Viking/Twin/Jail/Plex/mnt/Singleton nullfs rw 0 0

And the permissions for those files are:
root@Plex:/mnt # ls -l
total 34
drwxr-xr-x 6 1000 wheel 6 Jan 17 06:04 Singleton
drwxr-xr-x 6 1000 wheel 6 Sep 29 2014 Twin

Hallo Roelf / Alexey,
I got the same issue; jail doesn't start; START/STOP button are not working. Any editing and actualization of jail has no effect on proper execution. Only complete deletion TheBrig (Alcatraz), deleting jail "owncloud" and reinstalling both results in success. Great feeling: TheBrig and jail owncloud are working properly !!!
But!, but rebooting nas4free, the old error occurs again and again.
As I reviewed the jail-config.xml I got ip subnet mismatch 192.168.1.251/24, whereas I'm using subnet 192.168.178.0/24.
Looking for the reason I found the script extensions_thebrig_edit.php as cauze. This script contains fix ip address 192.168.1.251/252 likely used by author. Unfortunatly I'm not familiar with php-scripting, but I guess these preseted epair_a and epair_b addresses may be the cause, aren't they?
But even editing the script obviously user defined ip addresses are overwritten cauzing this ip mismatch and preventing proper operation repeatedly.
Until now I could not find additional origin of 192.168.1.251(252)/24.
Help appreciated

and check current status

Code: Select all

/etc/rc.d/thebrig status

Sorry, Alex, when I try the status, I get an error

Code: Select all

nas4free: # /etc/rc.d/thebrig status 
/etc/rc.d/thebrig: unknown directive 'status'.
Usage: /etc/rc.d/thebrig [fast|force|one|quiet](start|stop|restart|rcvar|enabled)
