Hello.
I have successfully installed OMV 2.2.11 (after updates) into my new PowerEdge T20 with four 1TB drives and the OS/OMV on a 32GB USB stick (with flashmemory installed). In preparing to setup my drives with SnapRAID, backup, and users, I was studying threads regarding BTRFS, became intrigued, and want to go that route. Both VotDev and ryecoaaron have encouraged the use of OMV 3 (both of these folks, BTW, have been outstanding in their patience, direction, and help!). Now that I have gone through nearly two weeks of "pain" to get 2.2.11 up and running (including getting my confidence up and running ), I am a bit more comfortable now with the OMV system.
So I haven't been able to find a thread that gives guidance on this, so being the beginner I am, I'll ask this here:
Does the move from OMV 2 to OMV 3 require starting completely over? In other words, do I remove my HDDs, put in a new stick, and begin again?
Or is there a path to get from version 2 to version 3 without going through that? I'm not afraid to do that, I just want to know.
My desire is to be setup for future improvements that are the promise of version 3 and btrfs.
Thanks
