Yes, agreed..... hindsight everything is currently working for me currently without any additional overhead.

Intent was to move to OMV because of the GUI interface. - I Agree a one time pain to reconfigure everything.

.

** Still I would like to understand what these UUID's exactly? ,,,, Why call them UUID's if they are not the actual disk UUID's? (provided through blkid) why not use the same UUID if they are already Unique????

you will agree if a script existed import existing smb.conf would be a nice touch.

So then the steps suggested are:

1) Comment out my fstab entries,,,,

2) Using OMV; remount each filesystem. With no loss of data?!. (I was worried data could be lost not understanding omv UUID process)

3) re-create all my shares.

4) test... samba shares.

5) backup my config.xml file.

missing anything?

Thanks in advance.

I was curious if anybody knows of a script or a method I can create the OMV config.xml file ??

My situation currently; I have a debian buster server with (many) disks using samba to serve my SMB shares for a shield plex server.

I was considering to add OMV as a service and starting using OMV. (or should I just stay with my current setup with samba without omv?)

All my partitions are ext4 and drives are being mounted via Labels currently.

*** Does a script exist where I can automatically run read my current tiles: fstab and smb.conf to create a config.xml ?

if not.

Can I manually create the config.xml "<mntent>" entries using my disk labels,,,, and smb.conf entries... "shares" (same as disk label)

I briefly looked into the manual process... I can't seem to figure out why the UUID's do not match the actual HD's UUID.... (using test OMV install on VM for now)

- Seems it's some randomly generated UUID and added to some DB. any suggestions?

I understand the need to unmount my current HD/shares.... and let OMV take care of the backend.

but to use the GUI to mount everything... manually and create all (26) mounts and the shares etc.. seems painful.

If I can create the config.xml would be beneficial if need to rebuild down the road.

A script to read smb.conf can determine which fstab entries would need to be removed so to let omv handle the mounts "a la omv"

generate the UUID and entry into DB and resulting config.xml and smb.conf file would be great.. I doubt that exists but...

But to keep things realistic. can anybody help with how these UUID's are generated and how to append them to the so called omv db.

I should be good with the rest of the manual generation of the config.xml.

Why on earth? Those USB3 attached SPoFs (single points of failure) are way too expensive, aren't they. Just had a look: https://geizhals.eu/terramaster-d5-300-a1483075.html
For less than that you get a HP MicroServer which is the way better idea than SBC + such an USB RAID thingie.

Hello, I have been using a WDMycloud (first generation) NAS. I had been using this NAS with a DAS (8 bay JBOD from sans digital) I have been using USB 3.0 but it does also have two esata ports.

I have been reading the different posts by tkaiser regarding the Rock64 and thought it would be better than this WD Mycloud. I read how I could convert this WDMycloud to use OMV (@ Fox_exe) But HW seems limited.

@tkaiser any idea about the new RockPro64 worth waiting? considering I will only be using for NAS; main purpose is using Shield TV to mount shares and stream movies / TV Shows to 4K TV. WDMycloud was falling short even after all optimizations on 4K@60Hz. with additinal 1080p streams.

Question; any benefit to wait for the RockPro64 or go with the Rock64 as did Jerryfudd.

I assume Jerryfudd is Happy with his purchase??
