Migrating OMV4 to OMV5: Shared Folders behaviour

alewaste · 10. Juli 2021

Hi.

I'm testing migration from OMV4 to OMV5 in a test PC, before to do in my working PC Nas.

In OMV4, when I create a shared folder, I can find in the root folder a new folder like /sharedfolders/<My shared folder>.

Why in OMV5, this not happen?

There a way to have that behaviour in OMV5?

It was disabled due to issues when using this option in docker

Yes, you will have to edit /etc/default/opemediavault and change the line OMV_SHAREDFOLDERS_DIR_ENABLED="NO" to "YES" but do not point docker bind mounts to it.

This is a really nasty change because an upgrade 4 -> 5 doesn't delete the previous mounts in /etc/systemd/system/local-fs.target.wants

Then when you make a change in the OMV GUI it deletes them all, breaking anything which is relying on them

What was the docker issue (can't find any posts that seem to match)? I've been running it using sharedfolders mounts for a few years with no issues.

I changed it, but /sharedfolders doesn't appear. I have to do something else?

EDIT:

I solved. I found solution in openmediavault documentation:

Code

# monit restart omv-engined
# omv-salt stage run prepare
# omv-salt stage run deploy

Jetzt mitmachen!
