Good day everyone,
First of all thanks to each and everyone of you who contribute to the creation and upkeep of OMV. I will be the first to admit I am a total newbie when it comes to the system but I have had some experiences lately which I cannot even begin to understand so looking for some assistance if at all possible. Yes, I have searched the forum and yes, I do understand that Arrakis is still not officially released.
I have only been using the system for a couple of months and figured through reading to go ahead and start using OMV 4.1.1. I don't recall having similar problems with the previous version but many I have seen said go ahead and update. I had assigned a fixed IP through my router (since removed). I will now go and assign a fixed IP it through the OMV Web GUI.
It has taken me two days to actually get an IP address that I could login to. That was with using omv-firstaid (i have a monitor and keyboard setup) coming up with an error every time I used first aid.Plus the "No Network Devices on boot too. Even using ip r s would not be recognised along with ifconfig not been recognised either (command not found) eth0 doesn't exist either, I am sure I have managed all of the above with ease previously. My network adapter is onboard, the system runs well when it's up. But really should it take me two days to get an IP from the machine and even then I got it through booting up into recovery and then using ip r s and then I was able to get an IP. My router was also previously not showing an IP either but now yes.
Sorry for the long winded post, can someone offer up any help on the above as I am not completely clear what caused it or for that matter how to fix it other than what I described. As far as I can see all updates are installed.I just did a reboot from being in recovery mode and it seems to be up and running again without any issue. Even still I would welcome some advice if someone would care to offer some please.
I love the system when it is up and running and have been able to share media around the house on phones, tablets and other devices, work on shared documents and even working with RSYNC a little (successfully). I am taking it day by day before finally getting all my data residing on the machine but baby steps and trial and error.
Thanks again for all of the support and material on the forum.
Regards,
Graham
