No. I pull a drive out of a different computer, plug it into an eSATA dock. From there, it wold be nice to even have something similar to USB Backup to automagically save the image, or however it would work.

Quote from Agricola

dd on the command line isn’t that hard. Are you making backups on a Windoze or a Mac? Why does it need to be GUI?

A NAS on the command line isn't that hard.

I just don't want to deal with ssh into the box every time. easier to just click and go, plus without worrying I'm disk destroying something.

I am using this for storing OS installs. It is not clear to me that rsync is the right tool for this.

I'm just wondering if there is an easy way to backup a disk image through the GUI.

Is it correct that OMV installs all updates from Debian? My memory, perhaps several versions old now, is that I have seen Debian updates available through terminal that weren't available in the GUI.

openletter · Jul 7th 2019

Is there any way to configure OMV to automatically install updates? I have not had an OMV update of any kind cause any problems in many years.

openletter · Jul 7th 2019

From the OMV GUI, just check all of the updates and click 'Upgrade'. If this causes problems, please report them in a new thread.

Um, so quick wipe deletes boot sectors, or something similar, while secure... writes zeros, random (1 pass, 3 pass ?) or something?

openletter · Dec 2nd 2018

Obvious, I know, but just to confirm:

You can see the disk listed in Storage->Disks?
You tried refreshing the web page?

What is the difference between a secure wipe and a quick wipe?

I've been searching solutions regarding the nut UPS plugin for OMV, but the search function requires 4 or more characters, so there is no way to use ups or nut as search terms.

I also can't find a way to search tags or view all tags.

If there is an option in the forum configuration to change this, that would be great.

I haven't used nfs. I briefly evaluated, but it seems to require some different share folder configuration.

I have a Linux Mint computer that only transfers ~400 mbps both up and down, while Windows 7 computers transfer at >990 mbps.

Is there something different about a Linux computer that I should change to get full transfer speeds? I actually get ~440 mpbs download from the Internet, so my Internet is faster than local file transfer, <sigh>.

The cable was never moved.

Most motherboards still have a COM header, which is what this motherboard has. And a lot of networking focused boards have an RJ45 COM port.

Okay, I figured out a fix.

I noticed one of the ttyS* ports was member of group nut:

# ls -alF /dev/ttyS*
crw-rw---- 1 root nut 4, 64 Apr 8 15:38 ttyS0
crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 4, 65 Apr 8 15:38 ttyS1
crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 4, 66 Apr 8 15:38 ttyS2
crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 4, 67 Apr 8 15:38 ttyS3

I chowned ttyS2 to root:nut, and now everything works.

The first time I loaded the configuration I copy pasted my old one, which was ttyS0, then later figured out it was ttyS2. I wonder if nut changed the group of ttyS0 on the first configuration load, but not later configurations?

Yeah, but I have to say that 777 has always been my least favorite resolution. Seems like the problem should be resolved somewhere else.

openletter · Apr 9th 2018

This is a fresh install of 4.1.4.

The interface seems largely unchanged since OMV 2.x.

The configuration is from the 'Driver configuration directives' field in the interface.

The rest of the options shouldn't have any bearing on the posted directives, which I have used for a very, very long time. The last time I redid my NUT config was in 2015, and haven't touched it since.

My BIOS has only two options for the serial port: enable/disable and IRQ address.

From command line:
# dmesg | grep tty
[ 0.000000] console [tty0] enabled
[ 1.011463] 00:05: ttyS2 at I/O 0x3e8 (irq = 3, base_baud = 115200) is a 16550A

The following configuration is saved for the UPS (same as I used on 2.x and earlier):

Code

Identifier:
SU1400


Driver configuration directives:
driver = apcsmart
port = /dev/ttyS2
cable = 940-0024C
sdtype = 2
sdorder = -1


Shutdown mode:
UPS goes on battery


Shutdown timer:
300

When I attempt to enable the UPS plugin and Apply the configuration, I get the following error dialog:

journalctl -xe produces a huge output. I *think* this is the relevant bits:

What am I missing in my configuration?

The UPS plugin is a GUI for the Network UPS Tools project. You might check their documentation to see if there is a directive to support your need:
