Hi,
This is what i did to fix the "OMV" issue:

• in bios, i set to disabled pci-express slot where was connected my raid card.
• reboot.
• login
• editing mdadm.conf with nano /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf
• adding ARRAY <ignore> devices=/dev/sda
• save
• reboot
• enabled pci-express slot

same error.

Then, I checked on different OMV 4.x machines of mine, and there is in mdadm.conf at the end of file, a section with:

# definitions of existing MD arrays
ARRAY <ignore> devices=*

this machine runs OMV4 and have 1 SSD and 1 Raid HW volume (with card).
/dev/sda1 => raid HW volume
/dev/sdb1 => ssd OS.

but on the new machine, issue.
During my different checks, i start my machine, with disabled pci-express slot, and in OMV webgui, i could see raid HW volume. I was surprised.
And i understood what was wrong:

it was not disabling pci-express slot, but disabling Bios on pci-express slot. So, with disabled bios pci-e slot, my OMV works fine, my Raid volume is mounted, and i opened mdadm.conf file,
there is nothing after this line # definitions of existing MD arrays

So, there were a lot of messages mdadm during boot, because of my wrong settings in bios. Not OMV cause.

thanks

hi,
new install of OMV 4 on SSD, from bootable usb sitck, on motherboard 775 socket, e8400, 8GB ddr2.
after rebooting, all was fine. Setup in OMV webgui, network, ip address, ... all was fine.
shutdown
install LSi card, 8 sata ports. Plug 8 hdd. setup in lsi bios virtual drive, fine.
boot on ssd... and

mdadm : no array found... messages, a lot. without stopping, until new small OS cli.

a few commands exist in this small reduced os.

i think, OMV tries to boot on my new LSI volume which has never been formatted, because never succeed to run omv gui.

/dev/sda1 is certainly lsi volume. Where is my SSD ? how can i know uuid of my ssd, without disconnecting lsi card ?

maybe i have to install a small omv3 on a new ssd, just to have omv gui, and then having time to initialize lsi volume as ext4 raid 6.

what i don't know is:

how to get debian prompt with unplug anything ?
what is the command line, in small os (i don't remember its name) to access to mdadm.conf on ssd ?

if you have some single steps.

i can try to install on another new ssd, omv5 or older omv3.
in fact all my omv (i have some running systems) are made from OMV3, and were upgraded to omv4, or, the hw raid array were already created and initialized)

it is this reason, i am pretty sure that there is a mistake on omv installer (or debian installer), for new user, who want to run 1st omv install, and then plug new raid volume.
take time, please, to answer or help me, my new big system is initializing raid 6... for a few days

i am sure the solution is not far...

ok, thanks @votdev
do i need to do something with journald ?
thanks

# journalctl --disk-usage
Archived and active journals take up 4.9M in the file system.

Hi everyone,

i would like to delete logs on my OMV 4.1.28-1, in Diagnostics/System Logs section.

clear button is available on almost all of items present in list, except "boot".

how to clean this one ? i have a lot of pages.

thanks

Hello,

if possible, i would like a button to empty the trash directly, in SMB/CiFS section or Filesystem.
Actually, the only way from OMV Web UI is open SMB section, then Shares, then Edit shares then scrolling Edit Share Window then clicking on the loved button Empty Now -Edit Share Window is too small.

Thanks.

Hi,

after some OMV 4.x upgrades, and some fresh installs on different PCs, i can see on my network through win10 filebrowser my last "domain name" or "really old nas name".

only SMB used. global option ntlm auth = yes

for example,

i set "workgroup" as domain name in "web ui/system/network section", and i can see "nas-genna.home" and also "NAS-Genna" in my filebrowser. Why ?

new example:

in OMV3, i created a new system named "NAS-OMV3", OMV3 on SSD. After reinstall OMV4 on new SSD (previous partitions deleted), and domain name = Workgroup, nas name = "NAS-OMV4". I can see in my file browser, "nas-omv3.home" and also "NAS-OMV4".

How purge them ?

what is the explanation ? i do not see where i missed a setting

thanks again

chown --help works !
chown -R postfix /var/spool/postfix works, after deleting spaces and rewriting all the command (maybe some bad characters from paste)

i will see

Did you change the owner from root to the system name? This thread probably has your fix - https://forum.openmediavault.o…penmediavault-flushmailq/

I did not change anything. Thanks for the link, i have already read it before posting my message, but as my OMV 4.1.22 is completely new on a new SSD, i was not sure about the reason

'chown' command is unkown... lol why unknown on a fresh and new install of OMV 4.1.22 ??

i 'm going to install chown ... oups. No, chown is already installed, chown --help works but this chown -R postfix /var/spool/postfix returns error

hello,

i activate notifications, on my 4 systems, recently upgraded or reinstalled.
The last one, which has been upgraded 3.0.99 > 4.1.22-1 sends to me an email with this error:

/etc/cron.daily/openmediavault-flush-mailq:
postsuper: fatal: scan_dir_push: open directory hold: No such file or directory
run-parts: /etc/cron.daily/openmediavault-flush-mailq exited with return code 1

what do i have to do or set ?

thanks.

You only needed to uninstall the hpraid plugin since it doesn't exist on OMV 4.x.

There is an uninstall button in the Plugin tab. Select the plugin(s) and click it is all that is required.

Clear your browser cache. Problem #1 - https://forum.openmediavault.o…tions-to-common-problems/

While the OMV 2.x -> 3.x upgrade was a challenge because it added the change from sysvinit to systemd, the OMV 3.x -> 4.x upgrade is much better in most cases.

Hi,

my last OMV 3.0.99 system has been upgraded and updated without big issues or error messages.

1st, yes, after upgrade or update, cleaning cache or changing internet browser was a good idea. For instance, OMV-Extra was displayed as OMV 3.xx version, just after a reboot, but in the same browser.

2nd, after point 1, in fact, no more rpc error message.

3d, upgrade than update, some reboots to be sure. All was good.

My 4 systems are now based on OMV 4.1.22-1 and work great.

PS: Always, same translation error into login page, size words too long for this small popup window. English choosen instead.

Big Thanks to @ryecoaaron for his patience with me

thanks again and always, Aaron, as your answers are limpid.
About hpraid yes, uninstalled like you said to me few weeks or months ago.
I really don't know what was wrong.
But now, i know how to and what to do if it crash, I will upgrade my last one with upgrade command.
Thanks a lot, Aaron , again

On 4 systems using omv,

omv 3.0.99 -> 4.1 => 1 update/without issue, except errors in web interface, during a update check in update management section, fixed with a single reboot.

1 update with issues, fixed with changing sources.list (i copy the us repositories instead of fr, seen in openmediavault documentation)

1 update crashed omv. Web interface displayed All updates as it was a new 3.0. As i use a logical volume managed with an raid card, i get out my ssd, plugged it into my pc, deleted partition, and plugged it back into my nas, and re install from scratch, with bootable USB stick and omv 4.x

1 kept in 3.0.99, and i think, reinstall omv4 on a clean ssd.

Why?

I only used omv extras, backup (what for?), and hpraid plugin.

Before upgrade, i tried to uninstall all these 3 plug-ins. Not sure that omv propose an easy way to do that. I always had some messages rpc... because plug-ins were uninstalled but in menu, lines were displayed yet.

That s all.

So, in my 4 cases, same installations, different situations.

As I said previously, my raid arrays are not managed by omv, I prefer installing new omv4 on clean drive than upgrading, because Debian dist upgrade, omv engine upgrade, update,... a lot of potential issues. And i didn't understand error messages without asking here. My english is not good too.

Thanks for your help

If I run omv-release-upgrade I receive "Command not found"

On 3 OMV systems, exactly same setups, one upgrade was successfull, one not, but after modifying sources.list, works, and another one, my OMV3.0.99 crashed.

For this last one, impossible to reinstall, remove, purge omv-extra. and all omv-xxxx commands were not present.

So, i got the ssd (ssd for OS), plug into Windows10, diskpart then select disk, then clean. No volume, no partition on the ssd, and then i reinstall from scratch, OMV4.x. from a usb stick.

of course all my datas are safe, because i use a raid card, and its logical volume is still available. OMV did not delete it.

Very strange, the errors about "/etc/apt/sources.list".
Very strange, omv commands disappeared.

From Web interface, in update managment, it was like OMV 3.0.99 wanted to update all its modules on itself.

I did not keep logs. 2 on 3 upgrades were bad. Same guy oups.

sorry, that 's why i said that. Not really evident.

7th question ??? nothing about upgrade or update

never mind, it is what i feel about this forum, a lot of things very very nice, a excellent OMV solution, but to find out something straightly, it is not sure.

not my 1st and not my last raid system. i like omv, and i use a lot of omv.

it is same for omv-extra, openmediavault home page (not forum), links are not displayed or highlighted, if they are important. My feelings. Maybe i am alone in this case, i am unique

try this in TAG section, use "upgrade"... results: omv upgrade is not displayed first... nothing about it.

but now, thanks to you, i will remember this discussion and how finding this way to update/upgrade when needed

thanks, but not limpid on this forum.
home page, nothing. we must search among a lot of messages.
now, i know, thanks to you

first time i see this : openmediavault.readthedocs.io

in OpenMediaVault FAQ . nothing too.

it is the reason why i wrote this, it is not straight

Hi all,

i added some text in SMB Global Options, for my old networked multimedia players:
ntlm auth = yes

to allow smb v1.

my 1st OMV 4.x system is now ok.
2nd, upgrade/update in progress.
another one (3.0.99) is broken, after a click on managment update (web interface), something was wrong, i can't start it... i ll check it next week

ps: what i see on this forum, is a single fact: nothing is displayed about how to upgrade or update a version. The only way is to use search bar to see a user post talking about update. Why does a pinned post not exist ? or why do i not find it ? lol

This should fix up your sources so you can run omv-release-upgrade:sed -Ei "s/(stable|oldstable|jessie)/stretch/g" /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* /etc/apt/sources.list

Hi,

this line sed -Ei "s/(stable|oldstable|jessie)/stretch/g" /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* /etc/apt/sources.listworks on my 3.0.99 OMV system, which displayed error when i ran omv-release-upgrade.

then after, i just ran omv-release-upgrade and the "3.x -> 4.x upgrade" is in progress.
Thanks ryecoaaron

hi, it was last year, https://forum.openmediavault.o…x-4-x-Procedure/?pageNo=2

I Have a few Nas under omv 3.0.99, and i want to keep homogeneous installation on them.
I can try, an 3.0.99 > 4.x upgrade but don't want loose anything, and not too much time, and yours too

Zitat von tkaiser

3.0.99 (Erasmus) Update issues

the solution would be omv-release-upgrade ? is it what i understand ?

thanks tkaiser
