Hey, posting here with suggestions for the excellent Snapraid How-To guide.
First, consider linking to the plugin documentation at either the top or the bottom: https://wiki.omv-extras.org/do…mv6:omv6_plugins:snapraid
Second, small exclusion rule correction.
Original:
> For directories you must use the ending slash, e.g exclude /Users/ will exclude every Users-directory, exclude /User/ (without the ending slash) will exclude every file named "Users"
Fixed:
> For directories you must use the ending slash, e.g exclude /Users/ will exclude every Users-directory at the root of a drive, exclude /Users (without the ending slash) will exclude a file named "Users" in the root directory of the drive.
One Question:
In the wiki, it describes the scheduling options. But it does not spell out what the "Every N [time]" does, and there is an ambiguity in Day of month. Here is how I understand what it is trying to do:
For "Minute" if it reads 5, it will run every hour on the "5", with the box unchecked. If you check the box, it will run every 5 minutes.
For "Hour", if it reads "5", it will run at 5 A.M., with the box unchecked. If you check the box, it will run every 5 hours.
For "Day of month" if it reads 5, it will run on the 5th day of the month, with the box unchecked. If you check the box, it will run every 5 days. E.g., 5,10,15,20,25,(30 except in February).
The ambiguity to me is, will the counting restart from 0 at the beginning of each hour, day, month, or will it roll over?
For example, if you set minute to 50, hour to *, and check the box, will it run at 00h50, 01h50, 02h50? Or will it truly be every 50 minutes like this? 00h50, 01h40, 02h30...? Same concept with hours and days of the month.
Specifically I want to know, because I want to schedule SMART tests for Day of the month #1, 2, 3, and only have the scheduled diff start on day 4.
