  • Web UI not writing mergerfs changes to fstab

    Have just updated OMV to 5.4.0 and noticed that when re-configuring MergerFS in the Web UI that the fstab is not updated.

    After a reboot, the changes are still in the Web UI but not in the fstab file.

    Having to edit the Web UI and the fstab is not a good practice to have to do.

  • Rsync pull - Host key verification failed

    Hi Itookmyprozac

    Thank you very much for your instructions #8, rsync works great now.

    Just want to add a little more to your solution, I need things really basic.


    Better solution... Actually, the right solution: credits Itookmyprozac

    1. Generate certificate ssh (OMV > System > Certificates > SSH)

    a. click Add, Add, enter a comment i.e. omv-ssh-certificate

    b. click Save

    2. Copy it into the media server (from where I want to get the copies) (OMV > System > Certificates > SSH > Copy).

    a. click on omv-ssh-certificate to select it

    b. click Copy

    c. enter details of server to send/copy to

    d. click Copy

    3. Create the rsync job(s) via OMV UI

    a. Type = Remote

    b. Mode = Pull

    c. Source server = source_server_username_or_adminusername@<IP>:/dir1/dir2/etc/

    d. Authentication = Public key

    e. SSH port = 22

    f. SSH certificate = omv-ssh-certificate

    g. other settings as desired


    Try a Dry Run to test connectivity.
