Error when creating sharedrive

MarcS · Nov 26th 2020

Everytime I try to create a new sharedfolder, the process fails with the following error message. Any ideas? Many thanks!

Code

Failed to execute command 'export PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin; export LANG=C.UTF-8; systemctl restart 'sharedfolders-dockerfiles.mount' 2>&1' with exit code '1': Job for sharedfolders-dockerfiles.mount failed. See "systemctl status sharedfolders-dockerfiles.mount" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

systemctl status shows the following:

The /sharedfolders/ link system has been disabled for some time because it created so many problems in docker container deployment. Are you trying to create shared folders from the OMV GUI’s Shared Folders tab or from the command line? Google the forum for sharedfolders. Your tag above shows you are using OMV4. I didn’t know it was still enabled in 4. You should upgrade to OMV5 anyway. 4 has been end of life for a while.

in OMV4 the sharedfolders still works. Yes, I am trying to create inside GUI.

I am reluctant to upgrade from OMV4 to 5 as my server runs pretty stable. Is there a safe and painless way to upgrade to OMV5?

Agricola · Nov 26th 2020

Safe: have everything backed up.

Painless: probably not.

I did not upgrade. I was moving to new hardware anyway so installed fresh. There are big differences between 4 and 5 but there is an upgrade script on the forum somewhere. Give it a Google. You need to uninstall all of your plugins before you begin as many plugins were not ported to 5. They can be reinstalled later via docker. There are several upgrade threads on the forum.

Will be done by the script.

Here is the post with the script:

RE: OMV 5.0 - finally out! :-)

Ok thanks. I will take a look. But might just install OMV5 from fresh.
