Pi with OMV crashed -> new Pi -> how to add existing HDD

Diggler · 27. Januar 2022

Had a Pi2 with OMV on it, with an external HDD. Perfect as a NAS. Now this old Raspberry Pi has died. No backup, ofcourse but the external data is safe.

Now i'd like to have the same again (OMV on a Pi with external HDD)

How to add this existing HDD to OMV without wiping it first?

Flash the Lite RaspiOS to a SD card and boot the Pi.

Install OMV.

Plug the HDD and MOUNT it.

Configure the shared folders as you remember them.

Done

Mount the hdd and share the folders like you did before.

thank you all

i wont lose the current content on this disk?

Only if you select Wipe on the OMV gui.

If you configure OMV (with the disk unplugged) and then you only mount the drive, your DATA will be untouched.
