Mount existing BTRFS filesystems

  • Hi All,


    So, I've installed OMV3 from scratch and now I'm running into this problem: I've already had 2 BTRFS filesystems, each with 2 drives. One of them was a pool the other a mirror.
    After the OMV3 installation, I'm trying to mount the 2 filesystems, but they don't even show up in the Filesystems window. The window just hangs and eventually errors with "communication failure" (without any other details).
    If I ssh onto the server and run "btrfs filesystem show", it's all there.



    If I run "htop" while accessing the Filesystem window, I see some "brtfs fi show" hanging ...


    If I manually mount the drives, they work. But if I reboot, the mount points are gone :)



    I'm not sure where I can take it from here. I'd appreciate some help!


    Thank you All!

  • I think I've found the solution.


    This is what I've done:
    1) manually mount one of the drives in the raid (/dev/sdb) and one of the drives from the pool (/dev/sda)
    2) At this point, the Filesystems page on the OMV web-app works.
    3) using that page, mount the other 2 drives.
    4) reboot.


    At this point, the mount points I've manually done dissappear and the ones I've done using the web-app remain and are clear.
    And everything works!


    Hooraaaaaay!!!!

  • Same issue hier. Large BTRFS filesystem on mdam RAID with LVM ended up in timeout / communication error of web gui. What helped in my case is the installation of LVM plugin. That seemed to be required anyway as I could not create any samba shares based on a manual mountpoint.

  • I have the same issue.
    Have you found a solution?


    I was able to mount one drive on cli, but the thing with mounting the other in gui does not work.
    Unfortunatly i always get errors when trying to commit a change now.

  • Did you install lvm plugin or any other plugin that might be required in order to mount your filesystem? In my case it was a lvm filesystem and omv could not read it without the plugin.

  • yes, but it did not help.
    It was still the same.


    As it is not really a productive environment, i will try to upgrade to 4.0.
    Perhaps my btrfs is to new or something ...
