adding new drive - Mounted, can find it under /srv but doesn't show up in Snapraid or Shared Folders drop down

1st Official Post

    As the subject mentions, I installed a new drive, created a new file system (ext4), mounted it, all via the GUI. I can access it when I SSH into the install but the drive doesn't show up in the shared folders or snapraid drop down. I want to add it as an additional parity drive.


    I did get the below error when mounting it but it seems related to the mergefs file system created and nothing to do with the new drive which is /srv/dev-disk-by-label-Parity1


    Anyone has any ideas? Thanks

    My main goal is trying to add this new drive as a parity drive in snapraid. In addition to mounting the drive do I need to do any additional steps in order to see the drive appear in the drop-down list of the snapraid plugin?


    I don't remember having to do anything else when I first set up snapraid.


    Thanks.

    The snapraid drive dropdown uses the same code as the shared folder dropdown. And if you get an error mounting, it won't be setup correctly. I would reboot and try applying again.

    Now I unmounted and deleted the file system. At reboot it hangs for a while as in the boot sequence it searches for the file system I have just deleted (a start job is running for .....) . It looks like the delete is not being correctly applied. At no point during the unmount or deletion was I asked to save the changes in the GUI.


    I guess this means that I have an issue with my omv config file somewhere?

    What are you deleting? Something from the Filesystem tab or the mergerfs pool? If it is mergerfs, it applies the changes right away.

    So I had a file system (ext4) on my new drive /dev/sdc1 under the tab File Systems. When I tried to use it for my parity drive it doesn't show up in the SnapRAID plug-in. I unmounted it, deleted it (all under the GUI) and then rebooted the system. During the boot up script it hangs for 1m30s still looking for sdc1 (a start job is running for .....) so I am assuming it has not been deleted correctly even if it doesn't show up anymore in the GUI under the File Systems tab.

    OMV Basics 101:


    Before you try something new, make sure you have a good backup or clone the root filesystem. A backup or clone of the root filesystem when it is in a 100% perfect state without any problems or glitches at all. You should also make sure you know how to quickly and effortlessly restore it.


    If you boot from a thumbdrive or a SD card this is easy. Just remove the thumbdrive or card and create an image of it on some other computer. When needed, just restore the good image back to the the thumbdrive or SD card.


    Only try the new stuff when you have a good backup/clone. If you experience problems you can restore the working configuration and try again, until you get OMV with the new stuff working 100% perfectly as well.


    Then you backup/clone again. And perhaps try the next thing. Systematic. Steady. Never step backwards, always try to reach further. Always progress based on an absolutely perfect and pristine OMV install without any problems at all. Shining! Humming softly!


    OMV doesn't protect you from yourself. You are perfectly free to extend foot and shoot self in same. And repeat as long as you have more ammo and feet. But do you REALLY want to keep shooting yourself in the foot, again and again?


    WARNING!!!


    If you try new stuff without having an easy way to restore OMV back to a good working state, you WILL be severely punished!!! The severe, cruel and unusual punishment will be having to do a fresh reinstall of OMV from scratch. AGAIN! You WILL continue to receive this punishment, again and again, until you learn better. If you try to avoid the punishment you may randomly receive an even more severe punishment: Long-lasting low-level continuous torture from having to use a OMV NAS that is not 100% perfectly configured and not working absolutely correctly.

    Well still trouble shooting as I would like to understand why it is not working. What I saw is that the new drive never gets added in the config.xml which is strange as I can access it through CLI under /srv/ just cannot get it to be referenced and be used as a shared or parity drive.


    The backup idea is not so bad, you could have said it in less words ;)

    I have the same problem.


    I added a new drive with 10 tb with volume name WDWHITE04 and this drive is shown in "file systems" :


    The new disk does not appear in the drop down of the SnapRAID Plugin.


    The other disks are shown and I added them as data disks :



    Reboot has no effect.

    Is it a problem that the partition "SWAP" is not mounted ? Its not mounted by default after installation.

    Stay healthy Bernd

    revise that sda are not your boot disk when you install OMV first time.


    if this is the case the disk are marked as boot disk erroneuosly because now sde is your boot disk.



    not sure how to solve, but is discussed on forums.

    that is.



    your sda, sdb, sdc order are changed.


    I can't find the apropiate post to help you , but i am sure that this error is widely commented.

    I took another sata port for the new disk and now it is /dev/sdd1. But it still does not appear.


    In the omv xml file the new drive is not shown.


    Bernd

    Now I tried "unmount" and "mount", then I geht the error ;

    And


    I did a reboot. Than another error was shown. Another reboot. Now I can add the new drive as parity and a sync is running !

    Thank you !


    Is it ok that the data disk is with directory content and the parity disk without ?


    Stay healthy Bernd

    The progress screen ist not very beautiful :


    Is it not possible to insert a carriage return after each line ?
