  • OMV shutdown: Failed unmounting /media/...

    Hi there,
    while shutting down or rebooting my OMV 4 box, I receive an error "failed unmountig ...".
    when I check the journal I see this while a reboot cycle:

    Please note
    root@myomv:~# blkid
    /dev/mapper/VG_Storage-LV_Files: UUID="a99e6e6c-2c2f-4903-b8c4-5cd4a5457ced" TYPE="ext4"
    which is my storage LVM.


    Any hints on how to fix this error are very welcome.
    Thanks in advance,
    topi

  • rsnapshot plugin pre and post execution scripts?

    Thanks ryecoaaron for getting back on this.
    A typical use case for me and perhaps others is:


    1. pre-exec script:
    service application ABC stop
    2. start rsnapshot to back directories which belong to ABC
    3. post-exec script:
    service application ABC start


    The reason behind is that the application ABC should be stopped while its data are backed up due to data consistency reasons.

  • rsnapshot plugin pre and post execution scripts?

    Thanks ryecoaaron for the clarification.
    May I ask for placing a feature request for this feature: add the possibility to configure pre and post execution scripts (cmd_postexec and cmd_preexec) in the rsnapshot plugin?
    Perhaps this feature is also of interest for others and worth for the devs to spend some time on it.

  • Autosuspend mode, possible?

    Hi raven66.
    just to second the issue you mentioned. I have it also several times in the last months and unfortunately I have not managed it to find a solution for it. Hopefully someone has a good idea to solve the issue with the SMB residue.

  • VirtualBox Error

    Hi geaves,
    you may first check and install the necessary Linux Headers for virtualbox.

    Code
    apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)


    and then try this three commands:

    Code
    dpkg-reconfigure virtualbox-dkms
dpkg-reconfigure virtualbox
modprobe vboxdrv

    Hope this helps.

  • Configuration Backup

    Hi David,
    I really would second your suggestion.
    I tried to update from OMV 2-->3 with the advised "fresh install" way but it took me hours fiddling around in different configs from plugins Samba shares , monitoring etc. I gave up, frustrated and seeing no end. Then weeks later I tried it again via an in-place update. Finally I succeeded there, but again with the cost of approx 5 hours to detect, analyse and fix several issues related to the update. Moreover, it was only possible with the help of the friendly folks here in the forum and at one point even the help of of the main developer was necessary.
    However, I think it would be a good invested time to develop such a sort of centralized settings file which could be ex- and imported. However I do not know how complex this task might be nor how much development time it would consume.

  • The session timeout set to 0 does *not* disable automatic logout in general preferences

    Dear votdev,
    thank you very much for getting in this issue and finally fix it.
    It was:

    Bash
    -rw-r-----   1 root           root                  55419 Dec 10 11:42 config.xml


    After applying your fixes (updating database permissions) it is:

    Bash
    -rw-rw----   1 root           openmediavault-config 66344 Dec 14 15:16 config.xml

    No more error messages in /var/log/nginx/openmediavault-webgui_error.log and setting the session timeout to 0 disables the timeout now as intended :)

  • Gallery plugin/docker image for home gallery

    Quote from jfromeo


    So, I have tested the following docker images from linuxserver.io


    - Piwigo. Great piece of software, but it needs a database and it duplicates all my files, forcing me to maintain 2 copies of all the pictures, one in the sourcer folder and another one in the cache disk where the container is running.

    I gave up upon this situation a few weeks ago due to my limited technical know how. I always thought that there must be a way to "connect both worlds" without having to duplicate all the images but I did not find a way. Installing Piwigo on OMV/Debian might be demanding, I don't know (own database, own nginx in parallel to OMV?). But perhaps you will find a good way to go. Thumps up!

  • The session timeout set to 0 does *not* disable automatic logout in general preferences

    Thanks votdev for diving into this issue.
    52% of my root file system are used. Following your suggestion, I took a look into /var/log/nginx/openmediavault-webgui_error.log and yes, I find several, repeating error messages there (see below).
    The permissions are:

    Bash
    -rw-r--r--  1 root root  1167 May  5  2017 configdirtyexception.inc
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 15279 May  5  2017 configobject.inc
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 18383 May  5  2017 databasebackend.inc
-rw-r--r--  1 root root  9297 Dec  1 15:32 databasebackendquerybuilder.inc
-rw-r--r--  1 root root  1036 May  5  2017 databaseexception.inc
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 16513 May  5  2017 database.inc
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 11730 May  5  2017 datamodel.inc


    How would I fix the permission (?) issue which is mentioned there?
    Thanks in advance,
    topi
