Several HDD under one sharefolder.

Zitat von ryecoaaron

Funny you mention that case... I have one.

Look the camera behind you...... kidding of course...

You are lucky !!! If I was able to source one I think I bought one...

To train before a faillure occurs, I decided to create an unionfs and simulate a defective drive.

I fresh installed OMV5

Platform : PC, OS Proxmox latest version. i-4670k

Guest OS : OMV5 updated to latest packages.

RAM : 4GB 2xCPU core

HDD : two 2GB VirtuIO hdd, with one EXT4 partition each, 1 physical 1500GB HDD exclusively alocated to the VM.

I installed :

flashmemory to avoid access (I removed swap partition)

resetpermissions

unionfs

I created partitions and mounted the x2 hdd

Using unionfs I manage to create a 2*2GB unionfs

I added rights to everybody (Access Rightmanagement/Shared Folders)

Then I tried to create the SMB share using the resulting unionfs and here comes the drama :

I selected the x2

"Failed to create the directory '/srv/6023eb2a-130a-44d7-8a4b-d2f8a21a0811/test2hdd/':"

Details :

Erreur #0:
OMV\Exception: Failed to create the directory '/srv/6023eb2a-130a-44d7-8a4b-d2f8a21a0811/test2hdd/':  in /usr/share/openmediavault/engined/rpc/sharemgmt.inc:325
Stack trace:

#3 /usr/sbin/omv-engined(537): OMV\Rpc\Rpc::call('ShareMgmt', 'set', Array, Array, 1)
#4 {main}

The SMB share is created, visible in Windows File explorer... but impossible to browse it...

Any idea please as I googled and only found request without answers.

Edit: resetting permission on Shared Rights on filesystem before creating the SMB share avoid the error message, but it's still not browsable eventhough I create the smb share with "Public Autorized"

After lots of tries, it seems that OMV doesn't like virtual HDD.

I tried with a physical HDD I didn't encountered the problem.

Now I need a disaster recovery procedure in case of HDD faillure.
