Move between SMB shares

  • Hello. I have a fresh reinstall of OMV6.

    I'm a little surprised that the new installation behaves differently than the previous one. Even if it's the same version.

    I have already found that I have to write special options in the advanced SMB settings to ensure the previous same functionality. (follow symlinks = yes; wide links = yes; unix extensions = no)

    But moving and copying between shared folders is not working for me. It ends up with a strange error where the file appears at the destination, it even has the same size, but its contents are not transferred.

    I googled, but ChatGPT told me that some Apparmor could be responsible. And it advises to overwrite some configuration, but there it is written that the file is automatically generated.


    Question 1: What should I set where to make copying between shared folders work for me? (ideally in a webgui)


    Question 2: Will more and more things really move to some proprietary settings that cannot be normally searched for?

    Once upon a time, when I switched to OMV4 from Windows Home Server, I had a hard time getting over the fact that I had to solve things around BTRFS via bash. I learned the basics of how to work with Linux, and to this day I have to have all the commands prescribed in txt.


    Edit: Those shared folders are on different hdds.

    PS: I write in Czech through a translator.


    Thanks for any advice. :)
