  • all wiped out again

    Quote from Krisbee

    Meguinness Unfortunately the output you posted confirms you've lost your array. Apart from something odd happening to /dev/sde, you can see that two drives dropped out of the raid array as indicated by lines 63 & 123.


    As already mentioned SMR drives are going to perform badly in any type of MD RAID array, whether it uses parity or mirrors. They suffer from very long build times in RAID. SMR drives might be OK for backup drives or as single drives for media, possibly with mergerfs, but I'd have questions if used with mergerfs+ SnapRAID.

    thank you....what are the chances that 2 drives loose the raid at the same time? could as well be my raid card? as i will not able to replace all 4x 6tb drives at the moment what configuration other then raid you suggest i could use to minimize data loss again? thanx

    You may still be able to re-assemble your RAID array. Please post the output of:


    mdadm -E /dev/sd[caeb] 


    Please make use of a code box - see here: [How-To] Post content in a code box

    this ....

    mdadm: stopped /dev/md0

    root@openmediavault:~# mdadm --assemble --force --verbose /dev/md0 /dev/sd[caeb]

    mdadm: looking for devices for /dev/md0

    mdadm: No super block found on /dev/sde (Expected magic a92b4efc, got 0d9fbb03)

    mdadm: no RAID superblock on /dev/sde

    mdadm: /dev/sde has no superblock - assembly aborted

    root@openmediavault:~#






    i guess no luck? it seems the exact problem like last time ....no superblock.

    what are my options ? could it be the raid card the problem? instead then using raid what you suggest i should use to avoid same problem next time?

    Yuck. raid. This is most likely caused by your array not re-assembling on boot. Common on non-server grade hardware. And just one of the many reasons I tell people not to use raid.


    What kind of hardware?

    What is the output of: cat /proc/mdstat

    hardware Gigabyte B450M DS3H (Socket AM4/B450/DDR4/S-ATA 600/Micro ATX) with

    Dell LSI Fujitsu 9211-8i 9210-8i 9200-8i H200 H310 D2607 HBA IT Mode P20 ZFS


    what alternative u suggest instead then raid if I'm forced to rebuild? ta

    the original installation disk after a reboot is refusing to boot up , so i used a backup i made 3 months ago....it boots up and showing same problem, the output of sudo lsblk is below, thanx

  • all wiped out again

    three times in past 15 months X( , suddenly all my data is gone, there is no access from outside local network other the the apps running in doker.

    why is this happening , the drives are showing but they gone from file system , if i click mount it will not show any drives ....they only will show when trying to create a file system.


    im getting tired of omv ;( .

    what can i do ? baby steps please.

    thanx


  • SFTP or FTPS how?

    Quote from ryecoaaron

    ssh is enabled by default. You do that from the ssh tab in the OMV web interface. You have never logged into your server before using something like putty?

    yes i did use putty, but i want to use my ftp/sftp client to access my files from outside the local network. i need to create a key i believe?

  • SFTP or FTPS how?

    Quote from ryecoaaron

    The ssh service allows sftp by default since sftp uses ssh. You can also install the sftp to provide a second sftp-only port that has the ability to jail off the files.

    thanx...would you mind to give me a step by step guide how to enable shh service properly as i never used the feature before. thank you

  • SFTP or FTPS how?

    Quote from gderf

    You will need an sftp client program running on the device you wish to use for remote access. There are various programs available such as FileZilla, WinSCP, the sftp command line program for Linux, and some for phones too.


    OMV will support sftp transfers by default. However if you want a more restrictive setup use the OMV SFTP Plugin to set up user jails.

    sftp transfers by default? i can only see FTP on the services tabs .....and is what i currently use to access my files.,how do i enable sftp? thanx

  • SFTP or FTPS how?

  • OMV + IP Cameras

    Hi guys, I would be interested to know what is your setup when it comes to wifi security cameras + doorbells that can be used with OMV to allow motion triggered video recording directly in to OMV without the need to having the SD card on the actual cameras.

    Cameras brand and software used on OMV would be great.

    Thank you
