I had omv running for months until last night the network stopped working. There no lan lights. I tried omv-firstaid command it's saying command not found. Tried rebooting and nothing but it show ata10 errors on boot . Spent an hour trying to fix it by using various guides online and nothing
Network not working

Approved the thread. -
Note that a flashing interface "light" is a receive function.
Have you checked the switch or router? (Switch the cable to another port.)
What kind of boot drive are you using? (Spinning drive, SSD, thumbdrive, etc.)
What hardware platform are you using? amd64, single board computer (SBC)? etc.
Have you considered that you might have an actual hardware problem?
Realize that you haven't provided enough to even take a guess. -

We do not know if these are related, but could be. Reasons for ata errors could be
- faulty or loose SATA cables
- Power supply instability
- Drive firmware bugs
- Failing drive hardware
You should check these.

Realize that you haven't provided enough to even take a guess.I checked the system with a live USB and the network works but omv just won't connect. When I try omv-firstaid it says command not found
The router is an Asus WiFi 6 and all the port on it seems fine. Even my ISP router that it's connected to is also fine

omv depends on os's and os's depend on drivers and drivers depend on bios and bios depends on hardware.
if you get no lights at the active lan port then omv it is the wrong (most distant) place to look for Problems.
look at your bios or in os (driver) logs... i 'm shure, your hardware lan port is gone. maybe a thunderstrike nearby. -
I'm.thinking now I'll just have to spend a day and reinstall from scratch
If something is corrupted, in the OS or other, a rebuild is the logical choice. If you rebuild your OS on a thumb-drive, note that cloning thumb-drives is easy. With a clone you'd have 100% OS backup, that can easily be restored and have you up and running in a matter of minutes -> cloning flash media. (You might take the time to read the -> Operating System Backup section for the rational.)
Even if you manage to paint yourself into a corner by misconfiguration, or if something goes south with an update, being able to "punt" back to a known working boot drive could save a lot of time and aggravation.

With the above noted, OS backup won't save you from actual hardware failures. (But it would help in making that determination more quickly.) I would be concerned about the ata10 errors. Again, rebuilding to a thumb-drive might give you some insight into, whether on not, your boot drive is failing. -
you can boot via pxe to see lan lights, there is no need to reinstall os'es for hardwarediagnostics. Or use a pendrive Linux and take a look at dmesg.

I'll just reinstall the os and start from scratch
Thanks for the advice
