  • 1ste NAS, using T610 and 2 WD elements 8Tb....... which filesystem, Raid1 or other solution

    I did a new install off OMV on the T610, which was a pain, because Grub wouldn't install right..... Which I was able to manage manually.
    After that I started configuring OMV with "guest allowed" when sharing folders. Makes things easier, I guess, in the beginning.
    Data copying is from ntfs data disk is almost done. Than I will try USBbackup again... to copy all my data to the NAS.
    So far so good.


    Edit: What I did wrong, without knowing, the first time I tried USBbackup, is trying to choose a folder with the + button, instead of the v ( Arrow down ) button. Not knowing they have different results.. As a total newby I thought they had the same functionality.

  • 1ste NAS, using T610 and 2 WD elements 8Tb....... which filesystem, Raid1 or other solution

    I just tried to use USB backup.... within OMV.
    But ran into difficulties, which I didn't understand, nor was able to solve ( quick enough.. )
    Wanted to be safe with a BackUp of my data, FIRST.


    So I aborted copying using OMV and USB backup..


    Went back to connecting the ntfs disk and another new 8Tb WD external disk to my main PC, running Linux Mint.
    Now I'm copying the data from ntfs to Ext4 on the second 8Tb WD disk. I believe this is safer. Now @ 50.9 Mb/s....


    When this is done, I can retry to copy this second WD USB disk to the OMV NAS in a safer way, because I have a data/files backup and an EXT4 disk to copy the data from...


    In the meantime I will have a look at the OMV NAS setup.. Maybe start all over again, regarding users read/write rights etc...

    Zitat von crashtest

    It can read NTFS, but I have not tried it myself. The only restriction I'm aware of is setting a shared folder on an NTFS drive or sub-dir, and I'm not sure if that was implemented.
    What do you mean, by:

    Have you looked at the NTFS disk on the CLI using PuTTY or something like WinSCP?___________________________________________________
    My main PC's are Linux Mint boxes.. No Putty needed..

    I aborted the USB backup proces, until I nderstand what exactly it is doing.. And I know what to do....
    I connected the ntfs and a neew 8Tb WD disk to my main Mint PC and am copying over the files.... Albeit sloooooooow....


    Edit: Surpriseeee... :) Copyspeed is back at 40.9 Mb/s now.. 19H waiting...

    Thanks.


    I wasn't sure what the aforementioned command would do. ( " Synchronise to/from to directory on external storage device " )


    + It started with copying over .trash files..... which I could see........ when I UNchecked this " Synchronise to/from to directory on external storage device " command....


    I wasn't sure what was happening ( because those trash folder was hissen, ofcourse on the ntfs disk. ). So I thought that my data was being destoyed... So I aborted.
    In the end I think the copyproces was doing just fine.... after UNchecking " Synchronise to/from to directory on external storage device ". Why is that? I just don't understand ( partly as a result of a languagebarrier....


    Than I disconnected the NTFS disk, reconnected it to a Linux Mint box ( where a pop-up warned me about not able to mount and disk might be part of a raid and such.. While I am perfectly able to acces that ntfs drive, as a matter of fact I now AM copying over the files to the 8Tb ext4 drive... ) and formatted my other WD 8Tb drive as EXT4. But how the hell can the transferspeed of 2 usb3 drives connected to the same PC be as low as 11 mb/s?? I expected it to be 8 times that speed... Now I will wait for 4 days until 3.3Tb is copied over.. Here you have a reason to pay attention to this stuff!!
    As soon as this backup is done, I can give it another try.. Because I have a backup....
    I do want to get to know this software.
    And, for now, I do want to move forard with that T610 solution and USB disks... Heat and noise and powerconsuption are the main reasons..
    I've got an old PC laying around, able to run OMV... which I could use..

    Thanks, I do understand that.


    Going that route I connected a 8Tb WD disk via USB3 to the T610 with OMV installed. I can acces that disk.


    Now I want to copy over data from an external ntfs formatted USB3 disk connected to the other usb3 port of the T610... using USBbackup..


    And: fail... -->




    I found a post describing the same problem, but no solution yet...


    Is OMV able to read ( and therefore copy over ) data from a ntfs formattted external disk?

    Bought a T610 Thin Client, 16Gig flash drive, installed OMV on it.
    Have 2 WD elements 8Tb external drives.
    Thought of creating a Raid 1 array, if possible.
    But maybe there are other, better solutions to create a NAS.
    Mainly used for BackUp and data sharing over the home network.
    Maybe some filesharing to and from the internet in the future.
    Might want to run a webserver on it too... ( If I can figure it out.. )


    Which setup would You choose? Raid1, or something else...
    The Thin Client has 2 USB3 ports.


    Thanks in advance,
