OMV6 Unable to remote mount Zyxel NAS

ramack · Oct 25th 2022

Hi,

Relatively new OMV6 install (cloned from a HDD to SDD). I'm trying to remote mount a Zyxel NAS326 in OMV6, but have having errors when applying the change. I've tried several iterations that have succeeded for others, but not working for me. (Options/ver 3 to 2, rebooting, refreshing etc). Could this possibly be a result of cloning my original install from a HDD to a SSD and the UUID is wrong?

After applying changing I get a big red box pop-up, only including the false ID.

Code

Failed to execute command 'export PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin; export LANG=C.UTF-8; export LANGUAGE=; omv-salt deploy run --no-color remotemount 2>&1' with exit code '1': debian:

Any ideas? Thanks.

ramack Did you check/tick the "fstab" option when you created the remote mount? It looks like it's optional in the plugin UI but I don't think it is . I don't know why you are seeing those time zone errors.

If there's any doubt your OMV6 can see your zyxel shares, you can always check that at the OMV CLI with a showmount command and or test whether it mounts at the CLI. I assumed you've picked NFS at the mount type for your remote mount - picking SMB/CIFS when you intend to use rsync can give serious perms headaches.

Once the remount is correctly mount it should show up under your filesystems.

Yes, I checked the box with similar/same results.

No, I was using smb/cifs. NFS makes sense now that you point it out. But would that affect mounting?

Krisbee · Oct 25th 2022

ramack Keep fstab selected and use NFS for this job. Don't select NFSv4 unless you are sure the zyxel NAS supports it. Whether you should be using rsize/wsize options is debatable. Once mounted you can then create a task with a rysnc command with the options you need. E,g, : syncing remote mount directory path to local absolute shared folder path.

As always taking care with permissions and sync to a test folder on OMV first. This just mimics the command you would executed at the CLI.

Still getting errors. I'm thinking a fresh install might help, maybe just to eliminate any clone info that might be causing problems. Should I consider OMV5 instead of OMV6? The hardware isn't "new" but it's definitely not old. Lenovo mini form factor, Intel 3GHz. 4G RAM.

Definitely not. OMV 5 is EOL. OMV 6 doesn't have anymore hardware requirements than OMV 5 either.

Krisbee · Oct 27th 2022

ramack What are the errors? Please be more specific. You know how to mount a nfs share at the OMV6 CLI to test if OMV6 can see your zyxel shares? Check what zyxel NFS shares are visible to OMV6 at the CLI with:

Code

showmount -e <ip of zyxel>

mount with:

Code

mount -vvv -t nfs  <ip of zyxel>:/<sharename>  /mnt

umount /mnt

The inclusion of the -vvv option will show the NFS version of export from the zyxel NAS..

If it mounts a the CLi you can check perms on zyxel. Assuming of course the zyxel has stored the data on a linux compat file system and not ntfs. Let's get the basics right and then set this up via OMv6 webui.
