So I've been using OMV on my Rpi B+ for a few moons now and I'm super happy with it. But of course, as time goes on updates come out, both in the update manager and as new versions on Sourceforge. My current installation is my first experience with OMV and I started everything clean, blank hard drives and everything, so I have some insecurities about updating now that I have an established system. I also haven't been able to find a lot of direct information about OMV on Raspberry Pi's, I assume its got some real differences from the standard distribution, so if anyone has the time and experience to address my concerns before I'm forced to experiment on my own, I would greatly appreciate their input.
My questions:
1: Update Manager.
A: Can I safely use the update Manager while on the Raspberry Pi, or might I accidentally override some crucial settings/software that the pi can't handle?
B: If I can use the Update Manager, do I still need to use the install files from Sourceforge to upgrade to a newer version number (I think I'm currently on 1.14)?
2: If I need to install fresh with files from Sourceforge, what happens to the current data and permissions on my external hard drives? Will everything automatically work as it does now, will I need to redo some setup to properly access public/private folders on my network, or maybe I need to transfer my data to another source and start from scratch?
I do have a backup of the Pi's OS SD, but with my data potentially at stake I'd prefer to hear from other users rather than experiment on my own
Thank you in advance.
