But how is this possible

Someone said "nofail" is not an option in this case

I am joking

How about the gui? Does it populate?

How?

Don`t know what`s behind the scenes, but you could bother.

Edit: the frontend is not the same

I have just tested this using the unionfs plugin

The talk here is about mergefs folders.

I`m about to give up...

Even though it is not a valid option, adding "nofail" to that line is woring as expected.

You could try manually removing all those x-systemd.requires= statements in fstab. If that solves it for your use case, then don't use the plugin - code it yourself in fstab without those requires.

Does not solve it.

Tryed within # >>> [openmediavault] and outside of if.

Last time I did it, it was like you said: "you can type the path to each shared folder in that box and it will work." The exception was that those three folders were not shared separately. The parent folder was shared and typed three paths. The plugin worked fine, it joined the folders into one.

This time, after reinstalling OMV, shared each folder and typed the paths. It works fine this time, too.

fstab looks the same.

First time:

/srv/dev-disk-by-label-hdd1part1/1/:/srv/dev-disk-by-label-hdd1part1/2/:/srv/dev-disk-by-label-hdd1part1/3/        /srv/26b47f43-0bba-4a25-bd4a-1b32ad55e8ed    fuse.mergerfs    defaults,allow_other,cache.files=off,use_ino,category.create=epmfs,minfreespace=4G,fsname=Utilizator:26b47f43-0bba-4a25-bd4a-1b32ad55e8ed,x-systemd.requires=/srv/dev-disk-by-label-hdd1part1,x-systemd.requires=/srv/dev-disk-by-label-hdd1part1,x-systemd.requires=/srv/dev-disk-by-label-hdd1part1    0 0

Second time:

/srv/dev-disk-by-label-hdd1part1/1:/srv/dev-disk-by-label-hdd1part1/2:/srv/dev-disk-by-label-hdd1part1/3        /srv/2c851eb2-47e4-405c-8b52-5942898adb93    fuse.mergerfs    defaults,allow_other,cache.files=off,use_ino,category.create=epmfs,minfreespace=4G,fsname=Utilizator:2c851eb2-47e4-405c-8b52-5942898adb93,x-systemd.requires=/srv/dev-disk-by-label-hdd1part1,x-systemd.requires=/srv/dev-disk-by-label-hdd1part1,x-systemd.requires=/srv/dev-disk-by-label-hdd1part1    0 0

PROBLEM: OMV is not working when using this plugin if HDD is missing. It enters in safe mode.

Do we have a solution for this situation?

Managed to mess permissions on /etc and had to reinstall OMV. Made backup using fsarchiver, but no option to boot recovery. Raspberry 4 here.

Will take some time to reconfigure. Will be using whole drive, no partitions.

Zitat von geaves

OMV does not use partitions it uses the whole disk, you have created the above using something like gparted!

Yes, gparted before OMV. Is this a mistake?

My understanding of how the mergerfs folder plugin works, let's say we have 3 drives;

I am not an expert, but reading the plugin descripiton ("Makes it possible to pool folders under a single mountpoint with mergerfs.") makes me think that is made for joining folders into one.

Waiting for an official explanation about how to use it correctly.

Zitat

This element in Line 4 of your ftsab, /srv/dev-disk-by-label-hdd1part1/3/, needs to be explained. What is in that directory and how did it get there?

There are folders and files in it.

It got there from mergefs folders plugin. It is a folder on my hdd.

Zitat

In line 4 you have this element three times, x-systemd.requires=/srv/dev-disk-by-label-hdd1part1 that can't be right.

Maybe one time for each folder? Three folders merged.

Zitat

About all I can say is that the mergerfs plugin is misbehaving. I have no answers for that as I don't use it. I code my merged folders by hand in fstab.

How to announce the developer to have it fixed?

I would like to use merged folders your way, not necessary by gui. Can you teach me?

If the file browser in the plugin is broken, try a different browser, make sure you have disabled any popup blockers, and remove and reinstall the plugin if it still doesn't work.

Tryed 3 browsers: Chrome, Firefox, Edge - same behavior. Firefox and Edge - no popup blockers - same. Reinstalled - same behavior.

Zitat von gderf

If that doesn't fix it them paste the correct absolute paths to the folders into the box, one per line. Do not use sharedfolder paths.

Those paths are not to be found somewhere else. I think it is the correct ones.

BTW, my /dev/disk/by-label folder is empty. fstab file reffers to it.

Zitat von gderf

Are you manually creating Line 4 of your fstab or is OMV creating that for you?

OMV is creating it.

Edit: don`t know if it is related to this, but now putty is not allowed to connect to OMV from windows.

Your link to some picture is dead.

Reuploaded the picture.

Zitat von gderf

I don't use any mergerfs plugins here. But if the drop down list in the plugin doesn't work it's either because you did some operation outside the OMV GUI and it doesn't know about what you did, or you needed to define a shared folder first and didn't.

It has the same behavior since first installed OMV 5. Not made operations outside OMV GUI.

There are some shared folders defined, but the button does not work.

Zitat von gderf

And what about /srv/dev-disk-by-label-hdd1part1/3 where is this coming from? This is likely the source of all your problems.

Copied the paths from a parent shared folder found in /srv and pasted in the mergefs folders gui.

The parent folder is already shared.

Zitat von gderf

Just because the plugin added line 4 doesn't make it correct. I pointed out that it contains a reference to a drive or partition not seen elsewhere in the fstab fragment you posted. You haven't had anything to say about that yet. This is where you should be looking.

Please do not get mad at me!

I am trying to merge 3 folders into one, share it using smb and them mount it as a drive letter on windows.

The gui from mergefs folders is not working as is should, it does not open the browse window when the button is pressed (red arrow on attachment) and pasted paths is that window. This is what you were asking? Shoud I do it otherwise?

Zitat von gderf

And what hdd would this be?

It is a 2.5 inch spinning, 500gb, 2 partitions: hdd1part1 and hdd1part2

Agree with you both!

But how to make it boot without hdd?

Is there a way?

Line 4 was added by OMV mergefs plugin gui, not manually.

Manually would add "nofail" to boot withoud hdd. And it boots without hdd.

Here is a part from fstab:

# >>> [openmediavault]
/dev/disk/by-label/hdd1part1        /srv/dev-disk-by-label-hdd1part1    ext4    defaults,nofail,user_xattr,noexec,usrjquota=aquota.user,grpjquota=aquota.group,jqfmt=vfsv0,acl    0 2

# <<< [openmediavault]

There is "nofail" on lines 2 and 3, but not on line 4.

If booting this way, it does not reach to omv gui it hdd not connected.

If adding "nofail" to line 4, it boots normally.

Was reading this:

OMV not booting with missing disk

Hello!

Don`t know if it is normal, but could not add "nofail" on mergefsfolders 5.0.3 from gui.

If added when created, it shows error. If added after created, by editing from gui, it does not show on /etc/fstab.

I had to manually add it in /etc/fstab file.

Is this normal behavior?
