Directory and Authentication / Windows network drive shows just 2TB but Zentyal's 8TB drive

« on: August 26, 2017, 11:19:45 am »

I setup a network drive on windows share and expected it would find the right size the disk and partition is: 7.1 TB, but it shows 2 TB.
This is an iScsi connection between Zentyal and a NAS. Under Zentyal the drive is perfectly mounted and fdisk -l shows the following:

Directory and Authentication / The mount point '/mnt/fileserver' must be mounted with 'acl' option. This is req

« on: August 22, 2017, 04:22:13 pm »

I receive the above error when trying to configure a share using a directory taken from a NFS mount.
The NFS mount is needed because that folder is a QNAP NAS and I will use separately my zentyal server in a virtual environment (this is the de-facto standard for domain servers).

How to solve? The NFS hasn't got the option acl (nor xattr) but it obviously supports it. It's Zentyal that doesn't recognize them as you don't specify them in the fstab (I suspect).

Thank you in advance.

Directory and Authentication / File sharing permission (file system path)

« on: December 14, 2015, 03:28:05 pm »

I set up the Zentyal on a "small" hdd (80GB) and due to future backup and recovery needs I decided to add a 2TB hard disk, mount it on a folder (/mnt/files) then share under this path (configuring "file system path") my shares.
It all seems to work, apart I can't access that shares from windows, the Zentyal samba permission, although I put it through zentyal interface, are not enough.
If I use "directory under zentyal" it all seems to work.
I'm wondering which are the chmod permissions I have to set on the hdd folders to be accessed by samba/windows as I can't find this info nowhere.
At the moment the owner is administrator and the group is adm and both have got rwx permissions.

Thank you.

Installation and Upgrades / Redoing my domain controller server, now the users?

« on: October 26, 2015, 09:42:48 am »

Hallo,
I use the Zentyal since about 1 year and am very satisfied with it.
After a blackout the previous machine broken so I backed up the data and now have to rebuild a server.
Probably there were better solutions, but I was in a urge and didn't thought to them so now I have all the machines pointing to the old domain controller, and a brand new Zentyal server. I would like to let the Zentyal recognize the old users so that the old users don't have to touch their client configuration and to create new users on Windows 7.
Is it possible?
Have I just to specify the same realm and netbios?

Installation and Upgrades / Samba status unknown, can't add shares because can't save

« on: March 04, 2015, 08:18:49 pm »

I run Zentyal 3.5 and as I say in the subject I have a problem saving Samba.
I already upgraded (and thanks god they remained up and running. I was dying waiting for them to run, this is the domain controller of the firm) the printer module (3.4) and the user file sharing module (3.9), but still receive this error.

Please tell me what kind of troubleshooting should I do, I already checked the zentyal.log, but I didn't find anything useful, it gives just info about users activity.

Please can you tell me what to check and how to troubleshoot this issue? I need to add a share, moreover I use this server as domain controller and can't allow samba configuration inability to save.

Installation and Upgrades / Using a different HDD for Zentyal fileserver

« on: July 17, 2014, 04:11:47 pm »

Ok, now I have a working 3.5 zentyal setup.
Well it was installed on a 40GB hdd, I also have a raid 2 TB hdd currentyl resyncing (20% completed)
The problem is that /home/samba is in the former, while I want to create the fileserver on the latter.
It's indifferent where is the /home/samba but I want to have my shares on the other 2TB software-raid HDD.
If I check Zentyal web GUI, it finds under "RAID" menu the raid configuration, but under "Disk Usage" there's only the 40GB sda configuration.
What should I do?
Please...

Installation and Upgrades / 2TB RAID-1 Zentyal installation fail at GRUB

« on: March 18, 2014, 05:52:01 pm »

Please help,
I'm trying to install a Zentyal fresh install on a 2TB raid-1 configuration (Hardware)
Grub can't install in any of the /dev/mapper/xxxx partition, it gives error (can't remember the error literally).
Then the Zentyal continue to install but as expected won't boot.

I read of some problem when using Ubuntu on this particular configuration what should I try to do?
Thanks.

Installation and Upgrades / My zentyal is broken.

« on: February 24, 2014, 12:47:18 pm »

I was running a zentyal server and disabled the automatic updates, so everything was going well (still and luckily it wasn't still in production state); then I abandoned it for some days (had something else to do) and today I tried to login again, and couldn't access the web interface.
So ssh-ed and login as root then rebooted.
Now zentyal disappeared, I login as root on the server and the "lightweight desktop environment" UI appears.
I can't do anything.
I am very worried about this because, apparently, I really didn't nothing to mess the server. But I want to take this behaviour as an opportunity to learn.
So the questions are:

1) how to restore the server (using the automatic backups) from ssh and root user?
2) which logs could I see to understand better what happened?

Thank you.

Installation and Upgrades / Something it's not clear to me with configurations

« on: February 04, 2014, 06:39:31 pm »

One question I have about the configuration of the various services, if I manually configurate some of that using ssh, will the zentyal web gui will retrieve them, or does zentyal remove the configurations on next reboot or what?
and what happens when I make a restore of the configuration from backup?

Installation and Upgrades / Add new admin to login the web GUI

« on: February 04, 2014, 06:27:23 pm »

Ok, so far I have just the user I create installing a fresh Zentyal 3.2 server and I'm using it to login the web interface.
Now I want to add a new user to mantain the server through the web gui, and I need to give me a new user to separate our login.
I read that any user which belongs to the admin group can access to the web gui, but no "admin" groups appear to exist in Zentyal, and my admin user belongs to the following groups: "adm,cdrom,sudo,dip,plugdev,ipadmin,sambashare" (why is there an "adm" group and not an "admin" group?)
I also tried to add one of the users I created through the web gui to the sudo group (I read somewhere I need just that to access the web gui), but can't login as I can't set the password (which is different from the LDAP password I setup on the zentyal server through the web gui) it gives me an error token related.
So the final question is: what I have to do in order to perform this task?
Is there some guide I can read to clear all those doubts about zentyal users, samba users, ldap users and ubuntu users? I'm quite confused.
Thanks.

Installation and Upgrades / File server backup

It's not clear to me how to perform the backup of the samba shares, as the zentyal backup doesn't make it. Can you explain?

Installation and Upgrades / Automatic network drive mount at user login

« on: January 29, 2014, 07:03:07 pm »

I'm not an expert so please bear my newbie question, I want to setup one or more network drives (from Zentyal / samba directories) for each of my users, so for example user1 login on the windows machine and he'll find the network drive (so that he doesn't need to find the network share), and obviously every user network drive should be saved. how to perform this?
