How to mount a shared OMV drive on another Linux Box

  • I currently have 12 drives running in an OMV 7 box storing Movies, Pictures, Audiobooks, Software, etc.... I have the drives configured as a Primary / Backup setup and RSYNC the primary drives to the backup drives on a schedule, I need to mount my PRIMARY MOVIE drive on another Debian 12 box that will be running a DOCKER / PLEX and or a DOCKER / JELLYFIN container. I currently have PAPERLESS_NGX and IMMICH running in their respective containers, but things might be a little easier if I could mount my OMV Storage Drives in the system i am running my containers on. I am hesitant to run my containers on the OMV BOX for fear of breaking the configuration in some un-known way. I have been trying to use MOUNT and SSHFS with no success ( I am still learning how to use Linux and OMV and DOCKER )


    So If you have an idea how to MOUNT an OMV Drive on a separate DEBIAN 12 BOX, I am all ears.....


    Now, back to the HUNT FOR MOUNTING A REMOTE DRIVE......

    Approved the thread.
  • thanks CRASHTEST, I figured out how to MOUNT the OMV share on another LINUX BOX, I was using the wrong share name.....

    I was trying to mount the drive using UUID, but you need to MOUNT using the CIFS SHARE NAME....


    sudo mount -t cifs //SERVER-IP-ADDRESS/OMV-SHARE-NAME /MOUNT-TARGET


    Now i need to figure out how to use my credentials file in this command and how to insert this into my fstab file so it will remount this drive after a reboot....
