This is my first time trying omv. So far I have stored my data in Windows with bitlocker, drivepool and snapraid. It has worked great for many years. I recently changed the server to proxmox and am running Windows in a vm and sharing storage from there. It works fine, but Windows is using quite a lot of resources, so I wanted to move to omv.
I installed omv as a vm in proxmox and passed through new disks I just bought. I mostly followed this guide to setup omv. I setup luks encryption on the disks, created btrfs filesystem and used mergerfs to pool them. I have not setup snapraid yet.
I shared the pool on samba and started moving some data from the Windows storage. I moved about 300GB and then I rebooted the omv vm. That is when the problems started. Omv would not boot and sent me to emergency mode. I fixed that by editing fstab and adding nofail, as the disks were not ready to be mounted before I unlock the encryption. I then managed to boot omv again. I unlocked the disks and mounted filesystem, but now there is no data on the share anymore. Ok, maybe a problem with mergerfs, as that should be like drivepool and just work on top of the disks. The data should still be on the disks, right? So I share the disks with '/' path, but nothing. I ssh in and check the '/srv/dev-disk-by-id-dm-name-sdx-crypt' mounts, but they are empty. This is how it looks in omv:
So there is nothing listed in "Used" on the disks (The 7MB on data3 is just a new test file I copied). Anyone have an idea what is going on here? Where is the data I moved? Seems like it is gone, but how could that be? I think I enabled the recycle bin on the smb share. Could that be related somehow? Should still show up in "Used" though?
I copied a new file to the pool and rebooted omv and it seems to work ok now. The file is still there after reboot. But as I seem to just have lost 300 GB of data I am very reluctant to move anything more before I understand what the problem is.
I get this error when I unlock the encryption on the disks, but it does not seem like a problem. The test file shows up after I unlock, so it seems to be working.
