Successfully installed OMV-4 to Netgear ReadyNAS RN104

  • Hi,


    after having the NAS unused for three years because of trouble with LAN driver...
    I finally put OVM on top of the old debian Stretch using this guide and it works fine without much hassle!


    Hardware specs:
    Marvell SoC Armada 370 ARMv7 1.2Ghz
    128 MB NAND Flash
    512 MB DDR3 1333Mhz
    4 SATA 3,5" bays


    Haven't created a raid yet, the disks should arrive today.


    See here for installing debian on those old ReadyNAS devices


    Only problems still

    • the latest kernel from the above link has got a LAN problem. simply building latest kernel.org 4.4 solved the issue for me.
    • Python backend? is rather slow on this device
    • monit complains about high load when clamav is running. OMV does not allow defining monit rules?

    Python backend? is rather slow on this device

    OMV's backend (engined) is php. That CPU is slow. Not much can be done about that.


    monit complains about high load when clamav is running. OMV does not allow defining monit rules?

    There are settings in /etc/default/openmediavault to define the alert limits. Not sure I would run clamav on that cpu though. Probably a combo of these:


    OMV_MONIT_SERVICE_SYSTEM_CPUUSAGE_CYCLES
    OMV_MONIT_SERVICE_SYSTEM_CPUUSAGE_SYSTEM
    OMV_MONIT_SERVICE_SYSTEM_CPUUSAGE_USER
    OMV_MONIT_SERVICE_SYSTEM_CPUUSAGE_WAIT
    OMV_MONIT_SERVICE_SYSTEM_LOADAVG_1MIN_CYCLES
    OMV_MONIT_SERVICE_SYSTEM_LOADAVG_1MIN_MULT
    OMV_MONIT_SERVICE_SYSTEM_LOADAVG_5MIN_CYCLES
    OMV_MONIT_SERVICE_SYSTEM_LOADAVG_5MIN_MULT

  • Why do you want to make a raid?My thoughts about... RAID

    I am aware of that.
    My plan is this to have a single store for all my data, this enables me to

    • make backups without much effort, thats what the old drives are good for
    • organize my data, instead of having a bunch of disks laying around nobody knows what's stored on them

    and I am going to move next year where I'll have ftth (fiber to the home). let's see what's that good for ;)



    I know the device is incredibly slow. transfering data localy is around 50MB/s I think because the ext4 take some effort regarding CPU. going to be slower with RAID I expect. but let's see. if it doesn't work out, I probably take an old PC for the RAID...


    BTW: LAN-problem is solved, I simply built a new 4.4.198 kernel.

    unionfilesystems (mergerfs) allow you have a single store and actually still allow you to access the individual devices.
