    Is your boot partition mounted?

    And this is something to be asked on the raspberry forum.
    The issue has nothing to do with OMV.

    I mean these errors

    When sudo apt update

    Added the Label OMV 7.x

  • Birdybird

    Changed the title of the thread from “Rpi4 Error message when updating raspi firmware et” to “Rpi4 Error message when updating omv update”.

    The errors are due to the failed access to the /boot/firmware

    you need to see what is wrong with it

    Quote from Birdybird

    But system is ok. Dont know what to do

    I get this error when omv update

    How is the system ok if you have errors while updating?


    I already told you that your /boot/firmware partition is spitting "is it mounted?" on post #3
    This has nothing to do with OMV, it's an issue from raspberry.

    Do you have any Pi running that has been updated from OMV6 to 7???


    According to the info above on raspberry forum, the change from Debian11 to 12 implied the move from /boot to /boot/firmware

    is it possible that the omv-release-upgrade didn't take that in consideration?

    of course, I'm assuming OP has been upgrading versions and not a fresh OMV7 install.

    omv-release-upgrade doesn't do anything RPi specific. I really don't remember if I did something manually or not. In my opinion, the RPi packages should do it but they technically don't support the debian 11 to 12 upgrade. I have seen lots of rpi omv6 to 7 upgrades on here and don't remember this being an issue though.

    Yep, that's what the raspberry mods constantly advise.

    For me, it's also the first time I see someone complaining here on this forum about this specific issue.
    Maybe OP just got "lucky".

    It's easy to fix though.


    Since it's been too long since my last use of Pis (too many put away on the electronics box ATM) I just don't recall if the /boot partition is mentioned on the XML dB or not.

    nope, it isn't. fixing the issue shouldn't require any omv changes.
