Option to remove missing HDD from Storage > Filesystem

Solo0815 · 3. November 2013

One of my HDD got defect (read-errors) and the system doesn't boot, when the HDD was attached to OMV. I had to remove it and replace it with a new one. But in OMV, I can't remove the HDD from the list, because it shows "missing"

Also I can't mount the new HDD. The entry for the old HDD was still there and I got a error the HDD couldn't be mounted. To get the HDD mounted, I had to remove all entries with the uuid from config.xml. For me, this was no problem, but for a normal user?

We need an option in the GUI to remove all entries in the config.xml for a selected (e.g. missing) HDD. This should include all shared folders. Maybe even a option to activate/deactivate shared folders/shares
What do you think about it?

Yeah, this is great idea and we should have post regarding dead drive in How/Tos. A lot need to know how to bypass the dead drive at boot. It is not obvious when you are headless.

Great idea, I have a simmilar problem, but my case is because I want to fsck my data disk, and need to unmount to do it (XFS filesystem), so I need to do same step that you, to finally unmount disk, fsck it, remount, recreate shares, recreate plugins, etc...

Other way to improve steps to do, can be not to count shares if plugins / services are disable, eg: if you have 4 shares that are in use in SMB/SAMBA, actually is not enought to disable SMB/SAMBA, you need to delete SMB shares, prior to delete shares in OMV prior to unmount, because shares say that actual share is in use by some pluggins / Service.

A good improve can be if you disable the pluggin / service that use shares, and OMV shares detect it and not say that is in use, so you can delete shares prior to unmount Filesystem.

Because OMV shares are in *.xml file, you can save it prior to delete OMV shares, and restore file when remount Filesystem.

What do you think about this improve?.
