I would try the apt clean button in omv-extras (it clears the server side cache)

Apt clean was enough for me and it works! Tnx!

Now I can do a backup image (Clonezilla) of 1 disk with OS, Containers and Container's data in one step!!!

thank you!

Did You set up the same SSD partition for rootfs and data?

I decided to follow your recommendations and refused to move rootfs on SSD in favor of flashmemory plugin which will be installed with mentioned above OMV5 script by default and simplicity of backing it up by simple SD cloning.

Many thanks to ALL!

Yes, install the openmediavault-sharerootfs plugin.

Thanks, but I need not setup shared folders in rootfs, but want to put rootfs in separate SSD partition alongside data partition on the same device.

Yes, using the SD card for boot AND rootfs, and the SSD only for docker images and docker data may very well be the best way to go.

It will make it easy to keep the rootfs small. Also, having the rootfs on a SD card makes it very easy to clone.

And what about SD wearing in such case? Does it long enough?

Wow, the topic turned out to be very popular - many thanks to All !

I'll try to clarify it a bit.

I've done my Armbian Buster 4.14.173 installation on Odroid HC1 with 500GB SSD and moved rootfs to SSD like this:

#   Make 16GB rootfs partition and set remained volume for second data partition
        fdisk /dev/sda
...
#   Make filesystems    
        mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda1
        mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda2
#   Mount it to specific directory to use your SSD.
#   Make new directories for SSD.
        mkdir -p /mnt/system
        mkdir -p /mnt/data
#   Use /mnt/system as a root partition, and /mnt/data as a data partition.
        mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/system
        mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/data
#   Check if it is mounted properly.
        df -h
#   Change rootfs partition
       nano /boot/armbianEnv.txt
#---
board_name=hc1
rootdev=UUID=3724cf83-8475-44d3-9ec2-b223c7c7e74f
rootfstype=ext4
verbosity=1
#---
   nano /etc/fstab 
#---
#UUID=289c15a6-61a0-405f-b66e-6b7b13c350ef / ext4 defaults,noatime,nodiratime,commit=600,errors=remount-ro 0 1
tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults,nosuid 0 0
/dev/sda1 / ext4 defaults,noatime 0 1
/dev/sda2 /mnt/data ext4 defaults 0 2
#---
#   Copy a root partition    
        rsync -axv / /mnt/system
#   Check rootfs mount piont 
        reboot
        lsblk -f

Then I installed OMV5 with https://github.com/OpenMediaVault-Plugin-Developers/installScript/raw/master/install with -f option (no flashmemory)

Eventually in OMV I have trouble with selecting a device to Add shared folder. May be I made a mistake elsewhere.

Is above installation order right or there is another best practice to do the job?

Kind regards

Hi Dear All

I have SBC with one SSD attached. How can I setup OMV5 to use this SSD for system and data shares? Can I install OMV and shares in separate partitions?

Thanks

Thank You for so fast response

New installs have /sharedfolders disabled and that greatly speeds up apply actions.

I've installed OMV5 with this script on Armbian buster 4.14.170 on Odroid HC1 and it already has OMV_SHAREDFOLDERS_DIR_ENABLED="NO" in /etc/default/openmediavault

omv-salt stage run prepare and omv-salt deploy run systemd was succeeded but did not speed up apply actions

It makes me insane how long does it takes.....................

Can confirm. I upgraded to a new system. Now the changes apply within 5 seconds, in stead of 5 minutes

What did you upgrade? Pls

Hi guys,

have a slightly other issue. I can only see the attached pic. No disk i/o information on none of my disks is avail.

Can anybody help, what to do?

Thanks

Hello, same here.

I'm using OMV on HP Microserver N54L (AMD Turion)

May be flashmemory plugin cause the issue?

Zitat von ryecoaaron

Boot from clonezillaClone usb stick to other drive.
remove original usb stick
set bios to boot from new device
done.

This works great and helped me much to do the Subj, thanks!
I used bootables clonezilla and gparted to do the job on my HP Microserver N54l

Zitat von geaves

OMV is headless...

By using the modified bios the drives are independent, this allows the use Mdadm, or MergerFS + SnapRaid or simply individual drives

To my regret I have no Linux experience except Kodi on Raspberry Pi. Talking "headless" do you mean that OMV on N54L should ran as pure back-end and I need use SSH to control?

Do you use OMV on N54L? If so can you tell me what SATA controller mode should I set up in BIOS - IDE, RAID or AHCI to install OMV with mdadm or so?

Kind regards!

Zitat von crashtest

Using hardware RAID marries the connected disks permanently to that RAID controller (or family of controllers). If the disk set is moved out of the host, a reformat is required. Software RAID can transfer to a new host.

Tnx. And did anybody compare OVM performance with and without N54l hardware RAID? Or OMVers don't care about N54L Turion Dual-Core only CPU workload?

Zitat von bizass

8. Storage/Raid Management -> Create a RAID, make a note of the Device name (ex: /dev/md127) (My RAID showed up from the previous install)

Great job!
I wonder why do you not use N54L hardware RAID? I'm using it with Windows 10 on my Subj and wanna move to OMV. Is it possible to use HW RAID to lower CPU usage?
