Getting closer to a "standard" install after upgrade

Hi,

I have an OMV Server running for several years now which was upgraded from OMV3 to OMV4 to OMV5 (don`t know if I even started with OMV2).

Everything is working fine, but but the system suffers from it's legacy:

• old partitions mounted at /media/<UUID> new ones at /srv/disk-by...
• /sharedfolders/ bind-mounts for SMB-shares
• (don't know what else has changed in the mean time)

Can anyone give a pointer / hint how to get a layout which is closer to a fresh OMV5 install. I am not afraid to go to the console or modfy config. files manually.

As I do have several settings configured I would not like to do a fresh install and re-configure everything.

It's only OMV (lot's of shares, rsync / rsnapshot jobs, Users with passwords, ...), other services are dockerized and can be moved to my liking.

I can not unmount the volume (using OMV) as I have several shares on it. Any idea how to do it on the command line?

How to disable the bind mounts for sharedfolders?

Code

omv-env set OMV_SHAREDFOLDERS_DIR_ENABLED NO
omv-salt stage run prepare
omv-salt deploy run systemd

After that you can delete the /sharedfolders folder and it will not show up again.

That worked, but I had to reboot to remove the mounts and than

cd /sharedfolders
rmdir *
cd ..
rmdir sharedfolders

For anyone doing the same: delete does not mean rm-rf in this case!

You would have to manually edit config.xml and deploy the changes. But it is not easy as you have to change all the shared folders as well.

Easier to use symlinks.

Doesn't look that bad:

First mount is the file system ,

second mount is the NFS share

and the third is a optional parameter for an mysql database.

I will give it a try tomorrow.
