Hello all!
Just recently started using openmediavault btw. I am currently using the x86-64 version number 3.0.2. However I have come across one problem and have one question to ask as well.
First of all the problem. I am using openmediavault on a normal x86-64 box which has 2 hard drives, one of which is removable. I can install OMV without any problems but the problem comes if I try to change the removable hard drive (not the other hard drive which has OMV on it!). So if I install OMV with one hard drive already installed then shut down, remove that hard drive, swap it over with another hard drive (both formatted as EXT4) and then power up I find I hit against a problem.
I'm immediately dropped out to a command line because the file system quota failed to start - I have an error message saying -
[FAILED] Failed to start enable file system quotas.
It seems almost as if OMV thinks that the old hard drive is still installed! At this point I can edit /etc/fstab and remove one of the entries that OMV creates - that gets me back into OMV's GUI apon rebooting the machine running OMV but then are lots of problems after this point. For example I can go to filesystems (OMV GUI) and try to mount the new hard drive, but I'm hit with an error about a missing device (presumably the old hard drive as a UUID number is displayed).
What is the correct procedure if a hard drive is changed in OMV? Is there a special command I should run? I tried running omv-firstaid and then "Configure webgui" but that too resulted in an "failed to connect to socket: no such file or directory in \/usr\/share\/php\/openmediavault\/rpc.inc:135\nStack trace:\n#0 \/usr\/sbin\/omv-rpc(107): OMVRpc::exec('WebGui','setSettings', Array, Array, 2)\n#1 {main}"
The question I wanted to ask as well btw (hopefully this is easier to answer!) is this - is there a way to somehow pass some sort of command line or message or option to OMV from another machine? I'm planning on using my device running OMV as a backup system but was hoping (to increase security of the system) to by default have OMV mount the hard drive as read-only, but also read-write on request.
For example I use debian jessie on my main system and KDE as well. I can use this - "nfs://192.168.1.5/export/test" in KDE/Dolphin and that will get me into the hard drive in the system running OMV via NFS. I have it set to mount it as read only. But can I somehow - for example - pass something like "nfs://192.168.1.5/export/test,rw" so that I could specify read-write? Not sure if this is possible!
Thanks for any help!
