i meaned, Raid 6 more secure than Raid 5 for these HDDs

hi,

for this hdd size, i think raid 6 is the very more secure solution (because of 2 parity disks), but you need to buy another one to have the right number of hdds. And result size will be not awesome. But it's the cost of raid6.

Raid 6, double parity, 4x16Tb, 32TB available for use.

with ZFS, Z1, 4x16tb, 40Tb avalaible.

with ZFS, Z2, 4x16TB, 27Tb avalaible.

need more ram.

ok. apt.conf deleted. Thanks.

nowhere. i search for every instance of tally2 in all files, no presence.

grep -rnw /etc/pam.d -e 'tally'

or

grep -rnl /etc/pam.d -e 'tally'

no result.

but in parent directory, there is answers:

/etc/rsyslog.d/openmediavault-pamtally2.conf

----

As my differents NAS (i have about 10 systems), and OMV systems work correctly in previous versions 4 and 5, and as I use hw raid card to manage hdds, and as all OMV systems are installed on separated sata SSD,

i'm going to re install them in OMV version 6, because, all of them have upgrade issues or significant changes without explanations (for instance SMB v1 extra option has been changed, linux image, or last one, 11 ignored, or "The value 'bullseye-security' is invalid for APT::Default-Release as such a release is not available in the sources", so i read the forum to check if members have the warning or error messages like mine, but forum returns nothing. All my upgrades have been executed from usual script omv-release-upgrade.

the fix5to6upgrade script displays same errors. It is not the subject here, i know.

After fresh reinstall OMV from scratch, i 'll remount all hw raid volume easily. As OMV does not manage my raid volumes, so no worry about datas, and reinstall takes less time. Or, another solution go back to 5.6/debian 10 Buster

hi,

there is no "pam_tally2" or "pam_*" in the pam.d directory

root@NAS-Genna:/etc/pam.d# ls
chfn            common-auth                    cron      openmediavault              passwd     samba  su-l
chpasswd        common-password                login     openmediavault-common-auth  proftpd    sshd
chsh            common-session                 monit     openmediavault-webgui       runuser    su
common-account  common-session-noninteractive  newusers  other                       runuser-l  sudo

the upgrade has been executed with "omv-release-upgrade" script from root.

hi,

i ran upgrades on 7 OMV systems, from 4 to 5 and from 5 to 6.

on each OMV 6, i have some warnings or errors during boot or updates and get somes mails with errors.

and this is a new message sent by email, the email body is below:

/etc/cron.daily/openmediavault-check_locked_users:
/etc/cron.daily/openmediavault-check_locked_users: 30: pam_tally2: not found

however, the system works correctly.

what is this ?

thanks.

hi,

i don't use "space" in the client field, but just an ip address like this "192.168.1.0/24".

here, nfs share settings, you should get some explanations.

yes, perhaps i don't understand, and it is the case and that's why i'm asking for help here

About the ip range, on OMV 6 nfs setting page, it seems that it is not possible to set a range, only an ip, or a host.

As i have some equipments which need to have access to my NAS, i was afraid that the nfs share was only for one ip address.

After set this "192.168.1.0/24", it 's working as well. So it's ok.

thanks again for your interest

thanks gderf, but i don't understand what /26 instead /24.

i have created nfs shares on my 3 omv 6 nas. i have a few clients which need theses shares.

as i read, we can only set one ip address on 'client' setup page.

actually, they see nfs shares with 192.168.1.0/24. it works correctly.

i have not set any range or multiples ip, if i did this, omv 6 displays in red, error, and i have to step back.

i upgraded 5 omv 4 to omv 5, and then omv 5 to omv6.

to omv5, no issue.

to omv6, multiple issues. and some changes about smb v1 activation, the extra options are not the same as before.

it was for that, i wanted to use nfs shares. but on one of my old client, nfs is not supported.

i need to reinstall one omv system from scratch in omv 6. i can not fix the issues, no time.

thanks for four help.

my only question here is just about range ip address to set in 'client' zone on nfs share setup page.

Quote from ryecoaaron

It gives you an example in the hint. Do you not want to use that? 192.168.1.0/24

hi,

is it possible to use only one ip address like 192.168.1.0/24 for a group of ip in the "192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.50" range ?

thanks

Quote from Zoki

Have a backup of your os disk and try. if it faile you can go back easily and do a fresh install.

Soem have problems some don't,depending how much non-standard things have been done to the system.

hi,

thanks. I use backup function on all my omv systems, but i never use the restore function from one backup. Thanks for your simple idea.

i m going to run the script OMV 4->5 on a OMV 4 test system. i ll learn this.

Thanks.

Hi, thanks for these scripts.

I am a little confused about warnings you wrote in first posts.

I have 3 OMV 5. which have been installed on OMV 4 servers. As i use HP raid cards or LSI or 3ware cards for the volumes, i deleted all partitions on the OS drive which is installed on SSD, and i installed from scratch new OMV5.

But i have also a few OMV 4.x systems which could be upgraded to OMV 5.x with the relevant script.

I have already ran the omv-extra fix (github) on a few OMV 4 and it works fine.

So what is the best way ?

running omv4->5 script on OMV 4.x already set (shares, etc.) like this:

wget -qO- https://github.com/dleidert/openmediavault-upgrade/archive/v4.7.tar.gz | tar -xz
cd openmediavault-upgrade-4.7
sudo ./omv-release-upgrade-5

or, as i have already done in the past, installing OMV5 straigthly on fresh and empty ssd? (or OMV6 !)

thanks.

Hi,

for an Arrakis 4.1.36-1 OMV, i ran the commands described in post #9 by aaron, and it works fine.

thanks.

Thanks aaron.

I don't find out some OMV upgrade tools to upgrade OMV4 to OMV5.

I use a few OMV4, and i 've just installed a new fresh OMV5, without any issue.

Just a new thing, i saw, there is a swap partition, but my drive is a SSD, and my volume is from a raid controller.

how can i easily and without problem, disabled it and/or delete it, if allowed ? (swap partition)

Thanks

thanks gderf

So, maybe the best way, actually, to have OMV 5.x is to install OMV 5 on new partition/drive from iso/usb stick, as a new drive and then mount volumes.

I use on most of my systems, raid card like lsi or HP. In fact, installing a new OS is not a problem for shared volumes.

thanks.

i will use your method on a test system.

Hi,

i 'm wondering where i could find the method to migrate/upgrade OMV 4 to 0MV 5 ? if it exists.

I remember that i asked same question about 3.x to 4.x upgrade, but really, in this forum, even in pinned topic, i didn't found my subject.

in 4.x, i had to reinstall from scrath all my OMV systems.

in omv-extras plugin, upgrade does not the job i want. all my 6 systems are up-to-date, in this openmediavault 4.1.35 version. they work fine.

Before migrating, i would like to test one of them to 5, without re-installing all.

i read this read-me-upgrading-to-a-new-major-version-of-openmediavault and this documentation

Do i need to upgrade Debian 1st, 9.x to 10 ?

i apologize, if it is about my english understanding.

thanks again.

hi,

yesterday evening i was trying to install a new OMV4 on a motherboard, x58, 8GB ram, 1 only drive = SSD 120GB. No hw card, no more disk (for the moment)
after a lot of different tries, i always get "mdadm message".

with or without OMV usb stick present on boot.

so i decide to change bios settings, no boot on USB.
But using the button to select which boot drive. So, in this ways, system sees only my SSD. (for the moment). You can set SSD/HDD boot Before USB.

Just before installing OMV i do this:

I also put my SSD into a Win10 PC, it was the 5th disk into it. Then with run alt-Win, cmd, Diskpart, i ran a couple of commands (List disk, Select disk 5, clean - be careful, it is fast). To have No partition present on SSD. (equal gparted). SSD is now Not initialized, what i wanted.

unplug it.

plug in future OMV system.

plug usb stick (omv4)

as there is an only bootable drive was present (the usb stick, not the ssd, because, it has been erased before with previous action), OMV install began.

And during OMV installation, i could see, this: for the 1st time, SDA1 was selected and prefered as SDB1, as never as my few previous install since yesterday, even if OMV USB stick was present.

So, when OMV install usb stick is present, and you decide to install to a drive, be sure that your new drive was clean, no partition, no previous partition information. AND in your BIOS, do not select USB drive before HDD/SDD (just for the install of OMV).

This is how i get a new and fresh install on OMV with 1 only SSD, and from its OMV install USB key (no need to change anything in grub or mdadm.conf). without mdadm issue.

Thanks for your precious help.

because i didn t know how, in a few minutes i had.
i come back here in a few days with omv5 reinstall on another ssd.
thanks

i tried different things (omv-firstaid, dhcp on or dhcp off, with manual ip editing), same.

as it was my first omv5, and very recent, i decided to reinstall OMV 4 from scratch, i did not see any dns issue. Maybe i made some stuff wrong.

back to omv4, with openmediavault_4.1.22-amd64.iso on 16GB usb stick. all my omv system use finally same version.

for next try, what do you propose to me if i get this error ?
for instance, like this way ? => Losing DNS settings whenever, I install a portainer and docker.

thanks

Merry Xmas everyone.

Many thanks, all of you, for all your precious help.
