OMV Hardware change

I have been using OMV6 on a HP ProDesk i3 without any problems. I have now switched to a HP Z240 i7 System and based on other OMV hardware change topics I switched all my hard drives and boot drive to the new system and switched off all the not needed remote and proprietary bios settings of HP. The system boots fine it seems like and everything works. I also recreated the swap space in case of a compatibility issue.

Now the main issue. The system is really, really slow on boot. I mean really slow, like it takes 20-30mins to boot. The actual logs of omv show the boot process is normal fast but the time from powering on the system, the HP logo shows up and goes away and re shows up etc and is like stuck for some time until the real debian boot begins.

I have gone through the bios over and over again, but I cannot get it to go faster.

What I have noticed though is that if I take off all drives except the boot drives it is a little faster, almost like the system checks something in the background before boot that takes longer the more drives are attached. But I have no idea what it could be.

I don't know why it takes so long. I just changed hardware, and it is even also an HP system.

Anyone has an idea what is going on or some common issues?

I have attached my syslog.txt in case anyone needs more info, but from what I have seen it seems fine.

I am palnning to change my hardware too which is very old.

I have pentium with mother board in sata 2.

I have 6 hhd connected and 1 ssd for omv system.

I saw that you solved your problem.

I am interessting of the reason to take into account when i will do the change.

Hi arno,

well I didn't really solve it, but I just marked it as solved because I was a little disappointed no one had any idea.

But maybe a little input for you. Before I bought my hard drives I use now, I had older SMR hard drives in total 16TB and even though the drives were a bit broken and some had a 100% failure rate based on SMART. But I didn't want to let them die in a drawer so I thought "Screw it I put them in again as a temporary storage if I just want to temporarily store something big there" So I put them in with the thought "If they die they die". But it seems like they were slowing down the boot process for whatever reason.

What I did is I plug and play all drives from my old pc to the new one, turned off every stupid HP company setting in the BIOS and that's it.

Also, I renewed the swap space in case there should be compatibility issues.

I don't know if it helps you.
