Hi Ed,

what kind of issues have you observed with Python2.6?
I'm also testing CryptoNAS on my Ubuntu 10.04 x64 Workstation and have no/less problems observed with Python2.6. The basic problem that I've observed with the current ubuntu version is that it uses symbolic links in /sys/block for the blockdevices (/sys/block/sda...). CryptoNAS (./src/cryptobox/core/blockdevice.py function: find_blockdevices() with: os.path.walk(top_dir, look4dev_dirs, 'dev') around LN: 970) ignores the symbolic links and isn't displaying any disks in the webGUI. I've played a little bit around with the newer os.walk() function and at the moment no success. I get always infinite loop because some folders are linked backward in the folder hierarchy. Maybe someone else have a good idea to solve this.

Regards,

Dimce

Betreff: Re: snapshot tests

Then I was encountering the same problems as others have posted , using a more current ubuntu server. It doesn't work properly . python 2.6 problems.

Ed: r1161 is quite old, before v0.3.5. Can you tell me more about your application? Is installing the "cryptobox-server" package into a regular Debian installation not an option?

Lars and Henning: If we could have the discussion you talked about back in July, as well as some more permissions, that would give me a lot more confidence about spending much time on CryptoNAS development. As far as an audit trail for the source repository, I suspect git or Hg (which are allegedly decentralized) might offer something like this, but I haven't investigated.

Hi James, & Developers.

I tried the r1161 snapshot. Since you included the ssh server, I was able to do a few things.
Nice to have dhcp.
I edited the apt-sources and was able to download & install mdadm v2.5.6 .But these are lost on reboot from the CD ver.
The executable is in /sbin/mdadm", so it would be beneficial to add "/sbin" to the path.
The webUI does not show disk device names, ie hda hdb only the volume size.

Can  the img (for usb) version be capable to install packages persistent? Also need to have edited scripts
for disk display not lost on reboot.
