Hi my name is Bond james bond
I'm a new Omv user, and I'v 2 questions :

1- Omv is running on an P35c-ds3r + e4500 + 1g*2 800mhz + Raid1 1g*2 Hitachi, and Omv is installed in a cheap usb flash A-data 8g
the boot and shutdown of omv speed is sloooooow, I think it's running on usb1 not 2, need I to change my Os flash driver ? (the A-data)

2- I want to create automatique sync of my work ! i'm trying to remote sync from a Pc called ONE with 192.168.2.201 ip, and the directory that I want to copy to the nas is called "work"
I think I missed something in the configuration of rsync, can't find the right Source Server (yellow)

Thanks for your help

welcome, just a quick note but it's not recommended to insall omv on a usb stick, i'm pretty sure it kills them fast.

You better change your OS Drive to a 2,5" Laptop drive or a spare 3,5" Drive and get rid of your Flash Drive. Otherwise OMV will do it for you in some weeks itself.

Welcome aboard. If you have questions, look through the forums maybe you will find your answer, if not please ask.

As the previous posters said please do not use any type of flash media (thumbstick, SD, CF card) as the OMV system disk. There are many posts here of failed flash media. This is due to the intensive write nature of OMV. OMV tears them up in short order. Even a small bootable USB hard drive would work.

Enjoy!

I think it is Debian Squeeze that does it, not OMV.

thx !!
can I clone my flash drive to another hard drive ? (soft or script) ?

ryecoaaron · 25. Juni 2013

Yes. Use Clonezilla.

ganj · 27. Juni 2013

Ahh cloneilla I just try it! it is super ! thx

for the Rsync part what I should put here ? (yellow) [ONE@]192.168.2.201:?
I understanded that I need to install a client on my windows pc for Rsync can "pump" my files? is that right?

Are you trying to backup files from a Windows machine to your OMV? Or do you just want to move files to your OMV? If you are simply moving files do it thru a shared folder and smb/cifs. On the windows machine you can simply search your lan thru the Network icon and login to your OMV. Then find the share you want to put files on, go into it, and then copy and paste.

Yep I'm trying to backup automatically files from my Win machine to OMV (Daily backup)
ps : Win dir is already shared, Omv backup folder also
Thx

nobody?

ryecoaaron · 10. Juli 2013

Personally, I would use Windows Backup (or a scheduled task) and backup to a samba share. Rsync is not a native utility on Windows like it is on Linux.

tekkb · 10. Juli 2013

I use Acronis True Image.

I'm using now Win 8 backup, hope it will help me for future crash !!

Highlow
I reinstalled omv on a new hard disk 120g 2.5"1000000x faster than my old usb stick
I want to create a media server and I need to transfer 200giga of mp3 without losing the modification date of the folders during the transfer, the only solution I've found is to compressed all folders and split them
I'm looking now how to unrar the splitted zip files !?

Thx

Why not

Code

rysnc -AtvP SOURCE TARGET

Code

-A, --acls                  preserve ACLs (implies --perms)
 -t, --times                 preserve modification times
 -P                          same as --partial --progress
 -v, --verbose               increase verbosity

Greetings
David

ganj · 10. August 2013

files are stored on a win machine
source target = ip machine ?

davidh2k · 10. August 2013

If I remember correctly modification times are untouched if you copy files from a windows machine to a smb share.
So just copy them from you windows machine to a smb share.

rsync won't work on windows!
