Is there any neccesity to upgrade from 3.0.99 to 4.x.x, for instance security reasons?
My NAS is running fine for what I do with it: sharing files with Windows PC, Mede8er mediaplayer and Mac Tablet, use of miniDLNA and backup to cloudservice with RSync.
So, for functionality I see no reason to upgrade.
Services running are:
Apple Filing
Downloader (X)
FTP (X)
MiniDLNA
UPS
SMB/CIFS
Sensors (X)
(X) means can do without

Yes, Debian 8 (the base of OMV3) is EOL and will not get any security updates anymore.
Sensors (X)
The Sensors plugin was not ported to OMV4; lm-sensors
Debian 8 is soon to be EOL -- https://wiki.debian.org/LTS/Extended
I don't think they will extend it anymore,since 9 is really working great and you have another 2 years of support.
OK, Thanks. Have to get a hard drive, big enough to save my data, first.
