  • Software RAID 1 - Recovery Questions

    Setup: OMV w/ 2 x 2tb drives in a Software RAID 1 formatted ext3 in a mini-itx case w/ hot-swap trays.


    Question: With software RAID 1, can I remove one disk, hook it up to my ubuntu desktop (I have a SATA to USB adapter), and view / access / copy the files & folders?


    I tried, but it didn't mount the drive or seem to recognize that partitions existed on the drive. Am I doing something wrong? Is this possible?

  • hostname not updating

    Well, I figured it out and feel dumb for not noticing the cause before.


    The domain name was populated with my ISP, comcast, to something like this: .xx.xxx.xx.comcast.net, but since it started with a dot (.), it is invalid. I should have noticed the Domain Name field underneath Hostname was underlined in red. Changed domain to "local", and it updated the hostname just fine.

  • hostname not updating

    Hello All,


    I can not change the hostname on my new OMV install.


    I go to: System - General - Network -> hostname field, change the value (have tried "nas", "backup" and "openmediavaulter"), click OK, and get no result, no "Please Wait....Saving" message or anything. It does not update the hostname.


    I have also tried ssh:


    Code
    root@openmediavault:~# hostname
openmediavault
root@openmediavault:~# hostname nas
root@openmediavault:~# hostname
nas
root@openmediavault:~#


    but after rebooting, it always returns to openmediavault.


    Is this set in /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf? Here is the contents:



    Code
    option rfc3442-classless-static-routes code 121 = array of unsigned integer 8;


request subnet-mask, broadcast-address, time-offset, routers,
        domain-name, domain-name-servers, domain-search, host-name,
        netbios-name-servers, netbios-scope, interface-mtu,
        rfc3442-classless-static-routes, ntp-servers;


send fqdn.fqdn "openmediavault.comcast.net.";


    I actually tried changing the last line to:


    Code
    send fqdn.fqdn "nas.comcast.net.";


    But it messed something up, so I just reinstalled to test again, but same behavior


    How do I change the hostname and why isn't the webgui working? Thanks!
