Hi all,

Yesterday my OMV serverst suddently stopped working. Restart didn`t bring anything. Not possible to connect via network.

I plugged in the monitor and ... see the pictures....

Can you figure out whats wrong ?

Did the system crash? or is the system disk the problem ?

PS. I did all the regular updates 3-4 weeks ago. No major changes recentyl. System was running smoth for couple months

Hi Macom,

So the there is a chance to resurect my OMV.

As I`m noob in Linux maybe my questions will be lame, so please be patient with me.

1. Can this ("run a manual fsck on the root filesystem") be done on windows?

2. The OMV OS - can the fsck be rund in recovery mode ? (https://phoenixnap.com/kb/fsck-command-linux) -> point "Run fsck on Linux Root Partition"

3. Can you recommend and step by step instruction how to fix my issue ?

3.1 Do I have to have additional drive to instal the Linux LIve Distro to make the repair on the OMV OS drive ? (example ?https://www.linuxliteos.com/download.php)

Ad3. I`m booted to ubuntu and tried something I found in internet

Let's check/repair your filesystem...

• boot to a Ubuntu Live DVD/USB in “Try Ubuntu” mode
• open a terminal window by pressing Ctrl+Alt+T
• type sudo fdisk -l
• identify the /dev/sdXX device name for your "Linux Filesystem"
• type sudo fsck -f /dev/sdXX, replacing sdXX with the number you found earlier
• repeat the fsck command if there were errors
• type reboot

but I guess its not running (see picture)

which drive to choose sda2 or sda5

it started ...

I get error (i`m at the first one) .. Should I "ignore" it ?

I see option yes/no.

error reading block

see picture

- on the left the fdisk result

- on the right the SMART test result.

I did reboot in the meantime .. and the OVM is up and running ..

The disk is old and it was running as trial for currently 3 years .. and I have got by luck a new SSD 128GB. I`m worndering if its not better to move the system to the new drive.

is there a simple way to copy/clone/replicate the OMV from one drive to the other ?
