Switching from OMV 4 to OMV 5, moving configuration.

I have a Pi running OMV 4 with a USB enclosure with 2 drives, each with their own file system. I am running SMB with drive shares for each.

I am also using rsnapshot.

I would just like to leave the old SD card alone and create a new SD card with the current version of OMV 5 and export the OMV 4 configuration into the OMV 5 one.

Or some how import the existing drives and file systems into the new OMV 5 SD card.

I don't want to lose any data on my drives if I can avoid it, just mount them and share them the same way they exist on OMV 4.

I tried to copy the /etc/fstab and I can mount the drives and I see them under the file systems, but when I try and create shared folders, I don't see anything in the device drop down.

Is it possible to export my configuration from OVM 4 and import it into OMV 5?

It seems like the only way is to start over and format the drives and I would like to not do that.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

I think this was mostly my problem:

Problem #2: I mounted the drive using the command line or GUI tool and I can't pick that drive in the shared folder device dropdown.

Solution #2: Never mount a drive with anything other than the OMV web interface. This creates the necessary database entries to populate the device dropdown.

I had copied the block in /etc/fstab that has the markers # >>> [openmediavault] and I thought I was okay, but obviously not.

The other thing that confused me with the above statements is the GUI, but I guess maybe some people have some kind of GUI.

Things look the same in the OMV web interface, but they aren't. It was as easy as selecting the file system and clicking the Unmount button and applying the changes and then clicking the Mount button and applying the changes.

I still need to finish doing, the other settings, but that was my road block.

Thanks for your help!
