Yup gotcha
I ll just go ahead with a fresh v4 install after clonezilla backup.
I wanted to go with ZFS back then (5 years ago or so) but it seemed quite unstable / not well supported.
My main concern now using Raid 5 with 4 disks is the following :
- 1 Disk failure followed by 10To resync creating a 2nd disk failure then I m fucked
Migrating Raid 5 to ZFS might be a side project in a near future.

Hello Ellnic,
Ok that sums it up for the required process.
How shall i proceed backup wise?
My main issue is to keep my RAID 5 available.
Would this be sufficient? (Re)Installation of OpenMediaVault
EDIT :
My bad I just found out about the Forum Filters
Updates/Upgrades
I'll look it up before anyone wastes time to answer me on that topic, sorry.
Couldn't update the meta data of the initial thread : Current version and upgrade path (version 2.X to 4.X)
Getting the following error :
The server encountered an unresolvable problem, please try again later.

Hello,
Kinda new to the forum but I've been using OMV for quite a few year now.
I was updating my packages lately and noticed the debian repository I was using doesn't even exist anymore or at least not for wheezy. (some mirror in my country)
So I figured it would be time to upgrade to the latest stable release of OMV. I see there was a lot of update since 2.2!
I've been searching through the forum about a clean process to update OMV but since it's a big gap between the two I've got a few questions first :
- Shall I just reinstall OMV completly? If so, what should I backup to keep my raid disks up to date
- What should I backup and how to restore it on new release?
Note : I m not running many side services, just a lot of data on a RAID 5 config (4 disks) and a MySQL database (which I m just gonna dump and import in a new MariaDB with latest release?)
- Shall I just try and go with the omv upgrades? Do I still to run all the debian updates first (and therefore try to fix my repo by replacing it with an existing working debian wheezy repo)
- I still would like to do a proper backup, how should I proceed?
I m sorry if this has been answered already but I m quite uneasy about it and don't want to break stuff (like we all do or we wouldn't be using OMV in the first place I guess :p)
Keep up to good work
Kind regards
Z
