...why not NFS? I'm trying to set up some remote backup storage for a server, why shouldn't I use NFS (seems the easiest option)?

Now to update -

I've given it one more try and have found an error (of my own making) that, now fixed, has enabled me to create shared folders. The latest problem is that although NFS is enabled it's not running. Also something called rrdcached is hammering the CPU (and has been for some time)

Thanks for all replies

I've been trying to get this working with a SoYouStart storage server using their OMV install option. Been trying for a few days and just can't find any way to create shared folders so I'm giving up and creating NFS shares manually (which will be a lot easier)

Can you expand on this? I've only ever created partitions during install and to be honest, creating NFS / Samba shares manually is starting to look easier than trying to get OMV working

Sounds promising

I created a partition (/dev/sda3) which I intended OMV to use. I'd have to Google how to remove it, but do you think that OMV would now see the free space as available to it?

Thanks for the link, but before I get too deep into that, I'm getting the same problem I had initially.

I'm using a VERY cheap server from SoYouStart, they offer an OMV install which I assume is a .ISO. Using this I couldn't select a device for shared folders. I'm now on Debian 9 and have the same problem.

The server has one drive and there's no option to add a second, am I wasting my time?

Thanks for the link, I've finally got OMV installed, at least I can get to the login screen, but I've no idea what my login is and can't find it in any conf files I've found

Hi all,

I've installed Ubuntu 18.04 (upgrade from 16.04) and am trying to install OMV, but get the following -

root@box:~# gdebi openmediavault_4.1.15-1_all.deb
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Reading state information... Done
This package is uninstallable
Dependency is not satisfiable: libjs-extjs6

Are there any workarounds / fixes?

Thanks for looking

Thanks for the replies, I think I'll try a minimal Linux install and then OMV on top of that to see what happens

Hi all,

I've just rented a SoYouStart single drive storage server which offers a one-click install of OMV. After getting nowhere for a while I've read somewhere that OMV won't allow you to allocate storage on the same drive that the OS (and OMV) is installed on.

Is this the case? If so, the SoYouStart servers (in my opinion) are a waste of space and it looks like I'll have to start again and create NFS shares the old fashioned way.

Thanks for looking
