RN214: owncloud installation / upgrade
Dear Netgear community, I use netgear products for several years, but now I'm the owner of an RN214 NAS (already did the upgrade to OS 6.5). Of course I know basic information about networks, but...
So long as you install it in such a way that you don't store stuff on the 4GB OS partition that should be on the data volume you should be fine. However the vanilla Debian package by default would store stuff on the root volume that shouldn't be there. 4GB is plenty of space for the OS and configuration, but you can quickly fill it if you put stuff on it that shouldn't be stored there.
With the app from rnxtras you would be getting something already configured to store things in appropriate places.
Ok, I understand. I am already in contact with whocares, but nevertheless of course I want to learn something. How would a configuration work or what would I have to do to avoid storing the cloud data in the OS partitition? Where is this partition respectivelly how can I see that the data is stored there or not there? Or is there any step for step installation guide beside "using an app" for the installation of owncloud on ReadyNAS OS6? or is the way shown in my posted video the 'correct' one?
You can see the mounts for the data volume if you look via SSH.
With the default volume 'data' everything in /data, /apps and /home would be on the data volume, as well as any mounts in /var/ftp of stuff on the data volume. Everything else would be on the OS partition or temporarily stored in RAM, except for what's on USB disks.
So apps should store as much as possible on the data volume and as little as possible elsewhere.Which SSH code would excalty show me this? I'm at work at the moment, but I want to test during weekend and that is why I am asking that instead of just trying.
You can look at e.g.
# cat /proc/mounts
Only to be sure:
mysql-sever has the datadir-property set to
datadir = /var/lib/mysql
Because this is not in /data, /apps, /home or /var/ftp the mysql-server would store databases on OS partition. If I do not want to have this data in system partition what would I have to do then?
1. Generate a subfolder in /data, /apps or /home
2. Editing the path /var/lib/mysql to a new path/subfolder.
3. Using the chown command to make usergroup mysql the owner of the new path
Is this correct or is it wrong? Is there a preferred path for the new folder which mnakes more sense than others?
Kind regards
