OMV 6 Release

In the meantime you could spend some time getting familiar with btrfs as it is supposed to replace ext4 as main filesystem in OMV6. Ext4 wont't be supported anymore.

That's wrong, it's only a proposal.

if it was true I'm assuming there's no way to convert an existing ext4 raid to a new format without loosing the data.

Just keep using ext4. If dropped, will be reintroduced by ryecoaaron, the mantainer of most plugins.

Oh, I see. I just had browsed through the github issue and at the beginning there was nothing about proposal. But well it's been there for a while now. Missed that. However, do you currently tend to yes or no?

Do recent blog posts and https://openmediavault.readthedocs.io/en/5.x/releases.html answer it?

I think a beta version is very close. Votdev is dropping OMV 6 code on GitHub.

You can already compile and test 6 alpha from GitHub. However it will still take some time until it’s production ready. Most likely not before Q3, maybe Q4.

May I ask from what source the statement originates from?

Hello,

how about the current state of OMV 6?

If you have a look at the release table one can see that since OMV3 a new version is realeased approx. every two years.

I therefore expect that the final release date / availability of OMV6 including all supplementary plugins will not be before 2022.

From my head. We are not even in Beta state, therefore I would not expect a stable release within the next months. Maybe not even this year.

I am a little curios now. Which GitHub are we talking about? I would like to try and build it from GitHub. If we do that can we then be able to play a little bit with the new gui?

I don't think that info should be posted. We really don't need people building OMV6 yet. There are still a few issues with installation that I am working with Volker on.

That's fine. I understand. I was just wondering if I had missed some kind of release to the public. And from what I can hear then I haven't.

By the way from what I have seen on the blogposts the new gui design look pretty nice. Keep up the good work.

Why not? I don't think it's a question of giving out info or not. I mean, this is no classified information or so.

GitHub is simply said a platform for open source software and there you can look into the source of many free projects. But since you already have to ask, you probably can't do anything with it anyway.
