Clean install w/ partial config​ ​migration

  • Hi,


    now it happened for the first time that an omv-upgrade caused a failure.

    But it could also be, and I strongly suspect this, that the defective SSD of the root partition is responsible for the damage.

    fsck had often helped, but not this time.

    It went well for many years and a clean install does not hurt.

    It was 5.5.10 that crashed..

    With a new SSD for the system partition, the data is on a HDD raid, I am just trying the 6 version of OMV.

    But I also have a usb stick with 5.5.11 ready to install.

    I have mounted the old root partition under omg_old so I can copy things over.


    Is there an omv-tool to migrate users and shares and settings.

    I found a few things in the config.xml.


    Apart from that there are only docker containers but I had configured them via the shell anyway.


    Question 1:

    Should I better stay on the 5 version for the migration?

    With omg version 5 there were lots of omv-xxx scripts.

    With the 6 version there are less.


    Question 2: what is the best way to transfer the old configuration? which cli tools?

  • There is no tool to transfer a configuration from an old install into a new install. Everything must be setup again from scratch in the GUI by hand. Having good notes and screenshots of the old install will be helpful.
