Hey. Thanks for the hint. Basically, I don't care using all the space for OMV.
I have a backup of the OMV4 Disk both physically and digitally.
Any hints for the preferences/setting moving from 4 to 5?
Thanks
Just something to think about...
At this point... 6 will probably be out in a couple of months, and then 5 will probably EOL shortly thereafter... You've used 4 this long, if it's working.. just use it till 6 comes out and clean install 6.
There's a script that will upgrade from 4 to 5 but there may an issue (or two) when running it. It's better, in my opinion, to do a clean install versus rolling an existing but unknown problem, into a new version.
You can check the flashmemory plugin with:
folder2ram -status (and)
folder2ram -syncall
Look for "successful" in the various /var folders.
If it's not running (in OMV5) it can be installed with the following one line script command:wget -O - <a href="https://github.com/OpenMediaVault-Plugin-Developers/installScript/raw/master/install">https://github.com/OpenMediaVault-Plugin-Developers/installScript/raw/master/install</a> | sudo bash

Because the drive needs to be mounted manually first to rebuild the RAID, I need access to a CLI.
This left me on the WebGui not able to get on the CLI in the first place.Is there a Plugin or so that allows CLI access from the webpage?
Or do I need to SSH remotely?
SSH in from a LAN client. This will get you started. -> PuTTY .

In general it would be a nice feature in OMV to handle a broken raid completely remotly via WebGui (being a Linux Rookie this might be just a nice User-Wish). This makes the Likely case more easy for unexperienced users to rebuild their NAS RAID...
OMV can handle RAID recovery from the GUI but handling the hardware end of it, in a VM, is not the same.
On physical hardware:
- Remove the failed disk (be sure you remove the correct disk) and install a new one.
- Boot up.
- Wipe the new disk in Storage, Disks
- In Storage, RAID Management, click the Recover Button.
- Add the new disk to the array.
**EDIT: You can even get past the physical drive swap "if" you have an extra drive in the server. In that case, it can all be done by remote.**
So far I created a RAID 5 in the VM and ripped out one of the drives (virtually of course). OMV recognized and left an degraded RAID as expected
That's because it's in a VM, do that on a physical drive and the Raid will return as inactive, mdadm does not recognise 'hot-swap' drives
You can check the flashmemory plugin with:
folder2ram -status (and)
folder2ram -syncallLook for "successful" in the various /var folders.
If it's not running (in OMV5) it can be installed with the following one line script command:
wget -O - <a href="https://github.com/OpenMediaVault-Plugin-Developers/installScript/raw/master/install">https://github.com/OpenMediaVault-Plugin-Developers/installScript/raw/master/install</a> | sudo bash
Hey. I used
sudo wget -O - https://github.com/OpenMediaVault-Plugin-Developers/packages/raw/master/install | sudo bashto get OMVExtras 5.6.0 installed (which now appear in my list of Extensions/"Erweiterungen", also active).
In the SSH Shell it appeared to install successfully, too.
Unfortunately the Flashmemory plugin is still not visible in extensions or under "storage".
It then appeared to me that only SATA Hard-Drives are mounted in the OMV-VM-
Does OMV recognize Flash drives and is my VMPlayer 14 probably not able to deliver this message to OMV?
Anyway I would think the FlashMemory Plugin would appear anyway....
Any other plugins I need to activate/ Install?
EDIT: Obviously I had the tresting repo and extras repo deactivated... Flashmemory now appears
OK.. while the activation of the Flashmemory Plugin on the OMV5 VM worked.... although a bit tricky to activate.
So I though I might get on the real machine with OMV4 and simply activate the flashmemory plugin.... until OMV6 is out.
I have OMV Extras Version 4.1.7 installed, OMV-Extras /-Testing is activated - but again Flashmemory plugin is not visible...
Why is this? What Am I doing wrong?
Maybe this -> OMV5 userguide will help. It has an active table of contents.
Installing the flashmemory plugin starts -> here with OMV-Extras
And -> here.
while the activation of the Flashmemory Plugin on the OMV5 VM worked.... although a bit tricky to activate.
How is it tricky? You just install the plugin. The optional steps are really optional.
Without checking those...
"(Optional, but recommended)
Under System, OMV-Extras:
In the Settings Tab, highlight OMV-Extras.org Testing and click Edit. Enable and Save."
...my Flasplugin in the VM wasn't visible.
The plugin is not in the testing repo. Enabling the testing repo just basically runs apt-get update. I can't answer why you couldn't see it. This is why I have always recommended the install script since it runs the apt-get update.
For OMV4 I'd need an OMV4 Extras .deb file to upload (Which I had tried, too), but anyway 4.1.7 Extas are installed, I just can't see/find the flashmemplugin anywhere.
Hence the question if there is some documentation for the OMV4 extras flashmem installation... Must be similar I guess, but still GUI looks different and features too from 4->5.
Once again, I have no idea why you have problems with this but if OMV 4 isn't working, that is part of the problem with using and EOL'd release.
The plugin is almost identical between 4 and 5 from the GUI. But once again, you just need to install. No need to do the optional steps.
