Just installed OMV on Iomega NAS Cloud Edition - Now What???

drrochet · 20. Januar 2016

So I managed to find a thread made by Stefan Seidle(???) found here (http://stefanseidel.info/OpenMediaVault) that helped me gain access to a dead Iomega 1TB Home NAS - Cloud Edition HDD. Using the web interface, I am able to see the drive and it is currently mounted. It is using OMV version 0.3.0.20. My questions are thus:

is there a way to update the OMV version to the latest version using a plug and play USB?
how do I access the drive, and the information on it from OS X? (I can't seem to map it)
how do I format the drive and make it accessible for usage?

I am a fetus at this so thank you ahead of time for extending grace for my ignorance... and if I am way over my head with this please let me know as well. Thanks!

1 - You can update to 0.5 but nothing newer due to the dependency on Debian Squeeze. Plug and Play USB won't need to be used. It has been a while but I think you just need to change the tag in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/openmediavault.list to sardaukar, apt-get update, apt-get dist-upgrade. Check posts in the forum for accuracy.

2 - OS X can access the system via ssh (if enabled from the web interface) or via samba and afp.

3 - If the OS is not on the drive, you format the drive in the filesystems tab, mount, create shared folders, create users, give permissions, use those shared folders in samba and/or afp.

Thank you for the direction with addressing point 3. I don't know how to begin with point 1 (again, not even newb). I was able to get it formatted, established users, given permissions, etc. Is there a way to be able to access the shared folders on the drive through the Finder GUI or is only using Terminal? I have SSH, NFS and FTP protocols all enabled. I am able to "see" the drive using FileZilla (FTP) as well as the server command on OS X but am unable to read or write to the drive. I have checked permissions and home folders, shared folders... everything should be open for access and writing. Is there a log file for me to produce that might give some better insight into what may or may not be setup properly. Thanks in advance.

I mentioned samba (smb/cifs) and afp. You used nfs and ftp. What am I missing?? Mac OS X finder will natively find samba (Apple owns samba) and afp shares.

Jetzt mitmachen!
