Remote Mount

  • OMV 6.4.4-1 (Shaitan)

    I have a Raspi with two USB drives. The Raspi has two NFS shares, one named OMV, one named PLATTE. I would like to set up a second Raspi that mounts these shares and backs them up.

    I first tried the remote mount. The two shares were mounted and I could see them in the CLI, every single file was there. When I tried to create a shared folder it gave an error message 502 with lots of text.

    I was a bit annoyed and took the other way I knew. I put both shares in the fstab, above

    # >>> [openmediavault]

    entered. And that worked.

    But I could only create one shared folder, so I mounted the second share below the first share. In the CLI, I can see every file again.

    I then defined RSnapshot, source is my shared share called "disk", destination is the backup disk with 2TB called "backup". The total size of data is about 1TB. I started this the first time to copy all files once over the network. It works fine so far, but I keep getting strange emails with the following content:

    The system monitoring needs your attention.

    Service: Raspi-Backup

    Event: Resource limit succeeded

    Description: loadavg (5min) check succeeded [current loadavg (5min) = 4.0]


    This triggered the monitoring system to: alert

    I don't even understand the content. I still have space on my target disk

    /dev/sdb1 1.8T 435G 1.3T 25% /srv/dev-disk-by-uuid-2db34b29-f2d4-4b06-8e80-0d1ac562e678

    In the OMV share there is still 1.3TB free, in the PLATTE share there is 1.5tb free.

    Does anyone know what the error message means? What can I do differently?

    Does anyone know what the error message means?

    It means that the RPi has more to do than it can handle.

    If there is no other issue, you can ignore it.

    Just disable the monitoring of the load average. Or monitoring all together.

    Your Pi will appreciate it, 😉
