Hi Adoby

Yes...it is a system drive usb and cloning I can do via my clonezilla server....

Just wondered if there was a more simple solution...

Hi guys

Ok...I am using several servers with USB for OMV....

What is the best way to backup these drives?

Hi raulfg3

OK..thanks I will do that...

I don't need to mount it in another O.S.

I will have a read and see what gives...

Thanks for coming by on a Sunday...

Hi Guys.....

Can someone remind me what I should be thinking here:

Some supported features are not enabled on the pool. The pool can still be used, but some features are unavailable. Action: Enable all features using 'zpool upgrade'. Once this is done, the pool may no longer be accessible by the software that does not support the features.

Don't want to start crying because I made a bobo.....lol

Hi macom!

Exactly right...that is what I did and now everything is ok again....

So now I have fixed the omv-extras and then the flash memory....

Thanks guys for coming by...

When I checked the boot parameter it was right so how do I change what is right....?

Hi guys!

I have been getting similar problems when installing from a USB....after install I remove the USB and it goes often to (initramfs) bloody frustrating...just checked that theory and rebooted with the install USB and OMV boots as normal?

What gives guys?

Hi guys

I am used to clonezilla and have used it for several years....

So, I thought I'd test the plugin....but not booting to clonezilla....

I have set it but still boots to normal OMV

What am I missing here?

Thanks mate....;)

Hi raulfg3

Thanks for the info willl have a look...

Hi raulfg3

Ok what advantages would I lose that would be important in a media server?

bookie56

Hi raulfg3!

Ok thanks for the info....

bookie56

Been doing some testing and can't see the difference...

If I create datasets and try to move stuff between them it takes an age...

If I remove the datasets and just create shares moving files takes just as long....?

Hi savellm

Thanks for the info....

I have gone for raidz2 but one 8 disk raid...

Perhaps you have some info on my other thread...?

ZFS and Datasets

bookie56

Hi again!

OK I have created a z2 pool with 8 x 4 TB disks....

I thought the logical next step would be to create my datasets..

Datasets being Films, Music, TV-shows etc...

The one thing that is a bit annoying is if you place files in films that are meant for TV-Shows there is a long transfer time....

Is there something I am missing here or is that the standard practice with ZFS...create a pool and then datasets in the form of your main files like above?

Do I need to create datasets for such files?

What are the pitfalls if I don't?

BTW should point out I have now upgraded the memory to 12GB...Yes I know more would be advantageous but this is an old computer given to me that I have upgraded with better CPU cooler and extra ram and my new disks..trying not to bankcrupt myself...

bookie56

I am upgrading the ram and zfs is the better filsystem.
