Moving on

I know OMV isn't fit and forget but I've just left mine for a few years. I now get errors when checking for updates and plugins.

Error message below

Obviously I have no idea what any of that means but id like to update to version 7 possibly.

What's the best way forward please??

Many Thanks

James

okay, Thanks. any idea what the error message means?

Just too old now maybe??

Also, How do I keep my data on the HDD's,

Last time I had an issue I lost everything. I couldn't access the drives.

If I remove them to install V7 will they plug in after or do I need to upload elsewhere.

I'm very green at this....lol

Currymunster - very impressive that you have just left omv running for a few years without updating

I'm assuming you have a simple setup with disks / file system and it should be fine to install omv7 new and then attach the disks and mount the file system. Just make sure you 'mount existing file system' (see pic below)

You should read (and follow) the omv7 installation guide - https://wiki.omv-extras.org/doku.php?id=omv7:new_user_guide

I think very simple,

Old PC being used as a NAS.

Excel and word files with pictures and music and films. PDF's as well

Two disks.

I will read your link shortly

So just check how the 2 disks are formatted (in the file system tab of the GUI). Hope they are ext4 (a native linux format) on both. One for the OMV install and the other with your data.

If this is the case, you can safely install omv new over the existing install disk with the data on the other. Just make sure you install omv on the right disk!

Just checked and yes , they are all Ext 4

So you are saying I can just install OMV7 over the existing and the Data will still be available.

I remember something like this before and it didn't work. I think due to the permissions??

Quote from jata1

... one last thing. You will need to create a user in the omv gui and give the user access to the shared folder(s).

I have 2 disks plus another for the OMV OS so thats 3 in total.

I don't understand your last post. I already have two users set up.

Do I need to do another one??

Quote from jata1

When you re-install OMV you will have 0 users. You need to recreate them in OMV. You are starting with a completely new install.

If you have 2 data disks. Just do what I said for both disks.

How is your data organised on the two disks? A set of shared folder on each?

Does the pics help,

I am thinking of buying some new ones as they are a bit small now and probably quite old...lol

Quote from jata1

Looks like you might have a bit more complicated setup. I think you have 2 disks setup in a RAID config. Is this correct?

The good news is that you have very little data so you can easily transfer everything to a USB disk/ssd.

If I were you, I would just spend $100 on a 500gb ssd. Use this for data - do not use RAID. Then use your old disks for backup.

The server started out being a way for my wife and I to access my plastering business paperwork from our own computers.

It was a nightmare always being on one PC and the server just made it all easier.

I vaguely remember when I first set it up it was RAID but I lost one disk and ended up losing data on the others. so I changed it to not be raid from advice on here. Made one disk backup to copy data to but that one is now not working.

I'm pretty sure the setup is not raid now but once was. I agree it would be a good idea to just copy the data.

I have another PC and thought of making that a new server and then just coping the data from one server to the other.

I hope in the future to dip my toe into plex as our new Samsung TV does not just connect to the server like our last Hisense did.
