Upgrading from Release: 2.2.14 Codename: Stone burner to the newest OMV 6.x (OMV 2.x -> OMV 6.x)

wurzeltroll · Jan 26th 2023

Hello,

I want to put an old OMV installation back into operation. At the moment it is running OMV 2.x (2.2.14) and I want to update to the latest version 6.x. The settings do not need to be retained, I want to set this up again. I don't have RAID and the data is on a separate disk with EXT4. Currently mounted with this settings:

Code

20 1 8:1 / / rw,relatime - ext4 /dev/disk/by-uuid/61da87c8-7f64-4997-b1cc-3cda4aeb1653 rw,errors=remount-ro,user_xattr,barrier=1,data=ordered

So will this upgrade procedure working?

I would now like to disconnect the data disk,
replace the existing OMV boot disk with an SSD and install OMV 6.x and later
after several boot then reconnect the data disks.

And do I have to import the data disk with EXT4 or will be this disk automatically found and mounted by by-uuid?

And to make sure I have currently 2GB of Memory and this will work with OMV 6.x as well?

many thanks,

Jochen

1 - you need to import the data disk, and then share folders.

2 - yes, must work for a normal home use

Should work like you wrote it.

I just "upgraded" my old OMV System from 2015 with a software raid 5 that way.
