Thanks for everything!

  • Hi!

    I just wanted to thanks everyone for this great project!

    I made my first NAS nearly 10 years ago with OMV and I loved every day with it. It's one of my favourite open source project.


    In those years OMV helped me a lot to learn more about linux, docker, storage, data management and a lot more things.


    Sadly my needs have been changed in those years and now it's time for me to say goodbye to OMV but it will keep it in my hearts just like someone usually do with it's first love!

    A special thanks to ryecoaaron and votdev that helped me solving so many issues.


    It has been a long journey and I'll rember it <3

    unraid, mostly because during the years I had stockpiled 2x6TB, 3x10TB,1x8TB and 2x14TB.

    Unraid felt like the easiest way to manage them.


    I'm still suggesting OMV to some friends that need to build a new NAS and are starting with a proper build

    I've tried to test Unraid a few times. I could never get it to boot in a VM. So I can't compare it to anything OMV offers. Good luck.

  • It was a real pain, actually harder than trying on a real machine!

    You need to install it on a USB key, assign the usb key to virtualbox and then hope that virtualbox will actually take control

    I was too lazy to get virtualbox up and running. Not sure why they don't supply a qcow2 and/or vmdk image especially for paying customers.

  • or just let the user install unraid on an SSD like I did with OMV. I don't like having to trust a usb key.

    the main feature is a jbod with 2 spare disk with a cache SSD.

    I'm sure it's possible to do it with OMV too, but I don't have enough time anymore to study how to it :(
