boot disk went south

  • the eSata SSD i was using as the boot disk stopped working. Will i be able to mount the harddrives with data intact if i create a new boot disk? I still have the installation USB but it doesn't display the version number when i started it up.
    I think it was 2 years ago that i set this up.


    addendum: the installation usb returns Debian 3.2.65-1 to uname -a .

    If you do not have a recent backup of your OS drive, I would do a fresh install. Disconnect the data drives and then do the installation to a new drive. Shut down the server, connect the data drives and boot. Your drives should be detected and mounted.


    Which filesystem are you using on the data drives? ext4?


    edit: OMV3 is end of life; current version is OMV4

  • turns out it is OMV 2.1 , 2015. {shrug} what can i tell you , this was a set-it and forget-it. It worked as a NAS just as we needed unlike other NAS OS's at the time. And the OS never failed, it ran for at least 2 years without a reboot. It was the eSata that gave in to gravity and can no longer maintain it's lock into the port :(
