    Wow! I can't believe the reason why I could not login into the GUI was the permissions on the "/var/spool/postfix/maildrop/" directory!


    I temporarily renamed that directory, restarted postfix (so that the directory got recreated with the correct permissions) and I then finally logged in.


    Thank you!


    PS: I'm running OMV 5, updated to latest version.

    Hi,


    I'm on OMV5 (Debian 10) and still using the standard kernel for now. I have ZFS up and running and I'm not having issues for the moment.

    Maybe I just don't know what I am missing out. :)


    Anyway, I now want to have KVM available on this box too, would I need this Proxmox kernel?

    Or, should I just follow the Debian 10 instructions for getting KVM up and running?


    Any clarification on the benefit of the Proxmox kernel in regards with KVM would be much appreciated.


    Thanks,

    Andrea

    OK. I've got zfs and zpool installed now.


    The purging didn't help in my case. For everyone's benefit, this is what worked for me.


    First of all make sure you have the 4.19 kernel (as per ryecoaaron's suggestion).


    Then when installing the "openmediavault-zfs" plugin , if you get errors like I posted above, make sure you load the zfs module with:
    /sbin/modprobe zfs


    Then install the plugin again. I got the below output:



    i hope it helps.


    Thanks for the support ryecoaaron! ;)

    I don't know why "linux-image-amd64" might be missing but it was! :-/


    Anyway, I managed to upgrade to the 4.19 kernel by:
    apt-get install linux-image-amd64
    which complained about the headers missing, so
    apt-get install linux-headers-4.19.0-0.bpo.5-amd64



    rebooted and voila':


    # uname -aLinux willy 4.19.0-0.bpo.5-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.19.37-4~bpo9+1 (2019-06-19) x86_64 GNU/Linux


    That's a step forward, but unfortunately the zfs plugin installation is still failing:

    thanks for the prompt response!


    What's the safest approach? also thinking about further future upgrades please...


    and, is upgrading to kernel 4.19 just a matter of running the below?
    apt-get install linux-image-4.19.0-0.bpo.5-amd64

    Hi,


    apt purge insserv sysv-rc initscripts openrc
    definitely helped as now I don't get complains about the "insserv" version any longer.


    When I try to install "openmediavault-zfs" though, it fails with the below:


    my current kernel:


    # uname -aLinux willy 4.18.0-0.bpo.1-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.18.6-1~bpo9+1 (2018-09-13) x86_64 GNU/Linux



    Any idea on what might be going wrong please?
