Hi all,
I am trying to set up a NAS with OMV, using LUKS encryption, SnapRAID and mergerfs (as described in this tutorial: https://michaelxander.com/diy-nas/)
In the first run, everything worked fine, and initially I chose "epmfs" as policy for mergerfs. I could connect to the pool via SMB and copy files.
After copying some files I noticed that "epmfs" was the wrong policy and "mfs" would be better for my use case.
So I changed the policy to "mfs", but after a reboot (with an error message in the WebGUI during reboot) I can't log in, neither via WebGUI, nor via SSH, nor via direct access. Pinging the system is possible.
Removing the HBA controller (which is necessary to plug in a graphics card for direct access, ITX mainboard) didn't solve the problem, either.
So I reinstalled OMV from scratch, and installed all plugins one after another, rebooting after each step. Everything works, until the moment I create a mergerfs pool with the "mfs" policy. When I try to reboot after that, I can't log in, again.
All software is up to date.
Best regards,
Bastian
Edit: Alternatively, how can I rescue this install to continue without mergerfs or with mergerfsfolders?
