Nope... the NIC is not the problem... notice that he said he booted with "live usb puppy" and had no problems... so it's the network config in his OMV...
I am having the same problem -- was working flawlessly, but the next day I'm having dropped packets... like 60-80% DROPPED...
And how, exactly, you are connecting your NAS to Internet/Intranet ?
I, recently, got through omv-regen process that was great. The issue I have/had for a long time is that omv-regen does not work if bond0 is set for network interface. New installation nor omv-firstaid allows bond0 configuration. Debian comes with "nmtui" (Network Manager Text User Interface) which can be used in CLI to configure network interface including bond0. My question is: would it be possible to incorporate "nmtui" in installation process and omv-firstaid?.
Display MoreI don't see why not. BalenaEtcher is a cloning tool.
However, it is a different concept from what omv-regen does:
BalenaEtcher clones systems.
omv-regen rebuilds systems.
Both tools are useful, but they do not solve the same problem.
BalenaEtcher
Fast migration
Recovering a system as is
“I want the exact same system on another disk”
omv-regen
Hardware upgrades
Regenerating a system from scratch
Avoiding inheriting garbage, errors, or broken configurations
Different architectures
To clone an OMV system disk on the same machine, BalenaEtcher is suitable.
To change machines, architectures, or create a clean system on the same machine, omv-regen is the right tool.
Furthermore, an omv-regen backup is performed live without issues, takes very little space, and can be scheduled and automated using OMV’s GUI scheduled tasks. As I said, they are very different tools.

Thanks so much. Bunch of an excellent points, especially "Avoiding inheriting garbage, errors, or broken configurations" in regards to omv-regen. I just wanted to check/verify that I could use BalenaEtcher to create exact copy of a "perfectly" running system in case of "catastrophic failure" of the OMV system drive.
@"chente"
I successfully used omv-regen and it is a great add-on. I just used balenaEtcher, Linux version, to clone Debian 13 250GB SSD into 1TB M.2. It worked great, so my question is, in your professional opinion, balenaEtcher could be successfully used to clone OMV drive?.
I am aware since I wrote the plugin and I mentioned that in post
Well, you did not and you were not clear in your post #2. User did not know/was aware about this settings and that was the reason for my post. I understand that you wrote this plugin and you are the expert on the subject. From my experience, while being expert in/on something, making/writing instructions on the subject we sometime forget about that person that we provide help is not aware about basics of the subject like we are, so we "assume" things.
I am surprised how many people were worried about the lack of default kernel. The omv7 kernel plugin could actually be wrong about the default kernel in weird cases. The omv8 plugin always "asks" grub.
In SYSTEM --> Kernel select/highlight kernel you want to be a default and click on upper leftmost icon "Set Boot".
Display MoreI have just tested two regenerations.
The first one was performed on a system that had not been updated for quite some time, and the regeneration completed without any issues.
In the second test, I updated that same system to the latest available version, and the regeneration also completed without any problems.
Sorry, but without additional information there is not much more I can do, as I am unable to reproduce the issue.
To try to determine what is happening on your system, it would be necessary to review the log located at
/var/lib/omv-regen/regen.log
@"chente"
I found the issue --> faulty data cable to original/source drive. Once replaced, all went through fine. Thanks for your help and sorry for badder.
Have a great, happy and prosperous New Year.
What's in the log?
As I said, after I run "omv-regen" and start process then system go to reboot loop. It going, reboot loop, for about 25 minutes, about 30 reboots. No messages, no info just reboot go to login screen, hangs for about 5 seconds and reboots again, again........again. So, no I cannot provide you a log as I cannot get into OMV computer. I need advice. thanks.
Update:
Created new omv-regen-backup from OMV 7.7.24-6, installed OMV 7.14.17 OMV on new SSD. After reboot on new SSD i run "wget -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.…regen/master/omv-regen.sh | bash". omv-regen installed. run "omv-regen" disable/skip installation of plugins (cputemp,compose,timeshift,resetparms,cterm/hosts), disabled regeneration of network (my system is using bond0 SFP+ fiber so I also needed to remove trunk in managed switch in order to have access to Internet and OMV repos. I have to do that on new OMV install since bond0 option is NOT available during system install. It could be a good time to add this option) and started backup restore from ORBackup directory. omv-restore runs for a short time, then reboots and reboots and reboots. Same issue of reboot loop.
Once the first reboot is complete, you can connect via SSH and run omv-regen. You will see the live log of the regeneration process.
Cannot get to that point as the OMV keeps rebooting.

I am trying to use "omv-regen" (OMV 7.7.24-6) to clone 64Gb SSD to 250 SSD. In the past I was able to do this after I reverted back to bash, removed zsh, vi and ftp. For some reason I ma not able to do it this time. I install OMV 7 using USB install "omv-regen", run wget to get "omv-regen.sh. So far so good. On the working OMV I run "omv-regen" to make backup and then copy that whole directory to my Linux laptop. Boot OMV to the new SSD with vanilla OMV 7 install. Enable ssh port 22 and from my Linux laptop copy "ORBackup" dir to the new OMV "/". run "run omv-regen" and select restore. It runs for about 15 -20 seconds restoring some files, then reboots and go to reboot loop. Keeps on rebooting.
At this point I need some help.
Edit:
BTW, reason for this cloning is that 250Gb SSD with upgraded OMV 8 got corrupted.
Last night updated from OMV 7 to OMV 8. No issues whatsoever.
Run update on OMV. Two days ago I got an update to Docker 29.0.4, build 3247a5a (run "docker --version" in OMV CLI to check) and Portainer is back to working.
Unless you have an image accessing the docker api (mariadb never does), you will not have a problem. I updated docker on 6 systems and none of the 30+ images I use had a problem because none of them access the docker api.
Thanks for clarification.
Thankfully this issue did not affect MariaDB, but just in case I restored OMV 7 from timeshift earlier backup and followed post #3. All is working fine now.
Depending on your system backup method, if you backup at all, this choice can lead to very expensive backups in terms of time and space required.
A 16GB SSD for the OS can be had on eBay for around $10. A 32GB SSD can be the same or a bit more money.
That is so true in many cases. I use "timeshift", I do not think I will have this issue, correct?
Panowie jestem nowy w temacie serwera OMV . Serwer postawiłem na Fujitsu Futro S920
wszystko działa płynnie ,jestem zadowolony . Nie mogę znaleźć opisu jakie wtyczki zainstalować i skonfigurować bym miał katalogi np. zdjęcia ,filmy ,programy i był do nich dostęp z każdego urządzenie podłączonego do domowej sieci . Największy problem mam z odtwarzaniem filmów ,może ktoś podpowie .
Dziękuję.

Witamy w naszym forum. Ja bym zaproponowal zainstalowanie KODi i Aeon MQ9 ("Aeon MQ9 mod.), nastepnie w OMV MariaDB.
"MariaDB config in OMV". Nazywa sie MySQL ale configuracja jest rownierz dla MariaDB. Zacznij od punktu #6. Zanim zaczniesz MariaDB zainstaluj CTerm plugin ktory da Ci dostep do MariaDB CLI.
Yup. its on my list already. But that price is on the higher side of what I want to spend on a case, especially for something that sort of hidden away a corner of the house!
Well, you have ATX MB and want to put bunch of drives. I have this case with 10 internal drives, including 250GB ssd system drive, and is great.
You will need to use OMV IP address not the name
Thanks for the inputs.
Unfortunately the Node 804 will not work for me as its not micro-ATX and mini-ITX only case. But it looks like a good one and as you said its shape makes it unique.
If you do not mind midsize case then I would recommend Fractal Design Define R7 - Mid Tower ATX.
Trying to work with what I can get done for the least $$. It's a budget thing... I have no SAS drives so not really an option, although there are plenty of 2 - 4 TB SAS drives refurbished online for dirt cheap money...
Honestly never used SAS drives in anything not involving enterprise class hardware (PowerEdge servers mostly)... just didn't give it a second thought for this application.
LSI 9207-8i PCIE3.0 6Gbps HBA FW:P20 IT Mode ZFS FreeNAS unRAID 2* 8087 US $37.88 free shipping and free return, 30 days on Ebay. This card will work with standard SATA (Seagate BarraCudas) drives. Have in my NAS for almost a year.
