mdadm: No devices listed in conf file were found. OMV7 -> OMV8

  • Hi everyone! After updating OMV7 to OMV8 I get an error when loading "mdadm: No devices listed in conf file were found.". To update I used the command "omv-release-upgrade". I don't use RAID. System do not boot.

    Please help me fix this. Thanks.

    Looks like your root filesystem with the UUID 0a0128dc-b97e-4aa5-8515-dc0f33dec587 is missing, so your system can not be booted. How does your system look like. Based on the fact that the systems boot until this points it looks to me your initfs is located on a different disk that the rootfs.

    With the given information we can not help you, sorry.

  • OMV install on one disk, /dev/sda. I restored the OMV7 drive from a backup. It boots without errors.


    Code
    root@openmediavault:~# blkid /dev/sda1
    /dev/sda1: UUID="0a0128dc-b97e-4aa5-8515-dc0f33dec587" BLOCK_SIZE="4096" TYPE="ext4" PARTUUID="936d5900-01"
    root@openmediavault:~# lsblk /dev/sda
    NAME   MAJ:MIN RM  SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINTS

  • I solved the problem.


    At boot screen i choosed the kernel below the current one.

    This was 5.10.0-12 and booting and startup of OMV worked.


    Next i removed the "not-working" kernel by commandline like: apt remove linux-image-5-10.0-13-amd64

    So booting next time will work.


    Next i found in my file-systems a missing one.

    This was the usb-backup-disk i use.

    Now i had to mount it again. The backup-disk got a new mounting point, so i had to change the settings in usb-backup plugin.

    The other missing disk with the wrong mount-point i removed.


    Now, everything is working again.
