Hi all,
I've used OMV for many years, frankly it's the most stable thing i've ever used (as you can see by my post count of about 3).
However its started to play up, slow transfer of large files, backups failing and it REALLY doesn't like being restarted.
Until i actually went into my garage and hooked a screen up to it i didn't understand waht was going on.
i'm getting these errors (see screenshot)
My setup is:
intel Atom running 0.5.30 Sardaukar
One crappy 80gb drive with OMV on
One 2Tb WD drive with all the data on formatted as ext4
So i think (please tell me if i'm wrong!) my data drive is about to die a horrible death.
I've purchased a new drive and i have a backup of my data that is a few months old (missing about 200gb of family photos and recorded tv)
but! I don't know how to swap the drives over, can you advise.
I'm ok with ssh, but i'm a novice on linux.
I've run fsck multiple times which fixes things but doesn't seem to stop the errors.
As i understand it i have a few options:
install the new drive, make it a mirror set and hope for the best. then remove the old disk and....not sure
mount the new drive on my desktop (ubuntu) copy the data manually over from the backup), manually copy over the missing files from omv and hope for the best then...not sure
some other magic linux command which will migrate my data...
thanks for reading!
