OMV 3.x for Banana/Raspberry PI

Zitat von sieben

Hat denn jemand es bisher geschafft OMV 3 auf einem Banana PI laufen zu lassen

https://sourceforge.net/projec…s/Other%20armhf%20images/ --> write the image with Etcher --> boot it --> activate SSH access in the UI --> partition the SATA device manually as you want (OMV doesn't need that much space unless you want to also run Plex without modifications) --> nand-sata-install --> /dev/sda1 --> done (tested by me when working on nand-sata-install +10 times)

Personally I would prefer buying a new and good SD card with at least 32 GB (the larger the later they wear out) and simply run OMV off the card since flashmemory plugin is active and all settings optimized to reduce wear on SD card anyway. Also there's absolutely no difference in performance with latest settings when comparing OMV on SD card vs. on a SATA device as long as you don't use crappy SD cards (noname, Kingston, Intenso, PNY and most other 'retail brands' -- check especially the links at the top here: https://forum.armbian.com/inde…/954-sd-card-performance/ )

Otherwise I already thought about getting a new sdcard, as the one I have is old & crappy.

Really the best idea since an awful lot of problems with SBC are just SD card hassles. It's possible to clone SD cards of course but I would strongly recommend to use suitable tools (eg. in Linux use ddrescue to create an image of the old card and then Etcher to write it to the new card. Only requirement: the new card has to be larger than the old one)

But in case you still have an old OMV installation with a 3.4 kernel simply forget about and start from scratch with latest official OMV image for Bananas (relying on mainline kernel and Armbian as base). The old Banana Pi kernel will prevent you from using OMV 4 later (since OMV 4 needs Debian 9 AKA Stretch and this requires a way more recent kernel to work properly) and more or less all the other concerns apply that are outlined here: https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Migration_from_Bananian/

Then I think I'll stick to getting a new sd-card, from your link I guess you recommend Samsung evo sd-cards.

Well, based on price tags and performance EVO/EVO+ are a good choice (the latter slightly faster and often cheaper for reasons unknown to me).

But there's still the issue with fraud/counterfeit cards and it seems some fake cards are that perfect in the meantime that you can't spot them by lool or initial testing. That's why I only buy at large retailers any more with a return/refund policy 'no questions asked'. You can get counterfeit cards everywhere since usually they're inserted into the supply chain pretty early. So you can't avoid buying them anyway and your only hope is the seller being cooperative.

Wrt adapters: there's a little chance they can fail (mechanical problem) but I had this only once so far and deal almost daily with these adapters (burning images in my MacBook's card reader). So yes, I would only buy TF cards these days and use an adapter (the ones contained in the Samsung kits are ok)
