Web UI issues

Yes the directories are there but using ndcu shows nothing in the subdirectories and I can't seem to cd into the subdirectory (but maybe this command is wrong)

Code

root@omv:~# cd /srv
root@omv:/srv# ls
5abca6fb-5bf9-42da-8cf1-3f5e1381ff95  dev-disk-by-label-Chimp     ftp
9b151806-f786-4611-8289-29b12d8a5756  dev-disk-by-label-Elephant  pillar
a222ea17-b53b-42a2-8278-3a7321364d31  dev-disk-by-label-Hippo     salt
d97deb01-7286-4661-b6d7-520fa715fe43  dev-disk-by-label-Monkey
root@omv:/srv# ncdu -x
root@omv:/srv# cd /dev-disk-by-label-Elephant
-bash: cd: /dev-disk-by-label-Elephant: No such file or directory

Weird. That could be problematic if your dockers aren't seeing them either (which I assume they aren't), and you'll end up filling your OS drive again.

I think my dockers are seeing the external drives with the underlying data because if I go to plex I can play a movie or LMS - I can play a song (these are on the external drives).

Is there a way to change the setting to stop if filling up my OS drives in case one of my mountpoints fail?

For example, I could place another blank hard drive to prevent it going to my OS drive.

Not that I'm aware of. It's one of the reasons I don't like USB drives on a server. Fine for hook up, backup, put up... but always on, serving data... this sort of thing seems to constantly be a problem.

You can check your mount points with the mount command.

sorry I looked through the OMV documentation but couldn't find how to do this?

make sure the drives are mounted in the webui, ssh the machine and type mount. There will be a long output, just go through and find your storage drives.
