mount editor plugin

  • Hi, I'm trying to remote quotas from two ext4 HDDs (Data and Backup) but i receive this error:

    And yellow pending changes banner appears; if I click on "Apply changes", OMV again shows this error. I tried to reboot, but message appears again. Only option to eliminate banner is undo changes, but quota parameters are restored.


    P.D.: ntfs HDD is an external USB HDD for backup, but i didn't try to change any parameter on it.

  • Try unmounting and unplugging the NTFS drive first. You can always remount it later. The only errors I notice there are pertaining to it, so removing it should hopefully allow you to proceed

    Asrock B450M, AMD 5600G, 64GB RAM, 6 x 4TB RAID 5 array, 2 x 10TB RAID 1 array, 100GB SSD for OS, 1TB SSD for docker and VMs, 1TB external SSD for fsarchiver OS and docker data daily backups

  • I one edits the all mount points to eliminate quotas, and after applying changes the quota files have been deleted can this be reversed in the future, including recreating the quota files?

    A backup strategy is worthless unless you have a verified to work by testing restore strategy.

    There is button in the plugin to add the quota options back to fstab. You will need to manually run sudo quotacheck -cug /srv/dev-disk-by-uuid-a4376e75-80b1-4a59-a86b-81c946b832c5. I guess I could have the plugin do that.

  • Any new link to install Mount Editor ? Am trying to remove quotas & disable quotaon.service since failed message is popping up on reboot.


    The current command does not work -


    Code
    wget https://omv-extras.org/testing/openmediavault-mounteditor_7.0_all.deb -O openmediavault-mounteditor_7.0_all.deb


    returns following error -

  • Thank you ! Installed Mount Editor plugin, clicked 'Remove quota options' & it solved quotaon.service failed to start appearing on boot.


    Checked with command

    Code
    systemctl status quotaon.service

    & its deactivated after boot

    Code
    ○ quotaon.service - Enable File System Quotas
         Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/quotaon.service; static)
         Active: inactive (dead)
           Docs: man:quotaon(8)



    Personally I feel in the GUI instead of

    Services > Mount Editor


    it should be under

    Storage > Mount Editor

    I try to only put plugin actually providing storage in the Storage tab.
