I just installed timeshift on a fresh install and no emails.
Did you select "Stop cron email" option?

How to ping the timeshift folks?
Do you get it on every reboot? If not, I wouldn't worry about it. Must have been some initial setup timeshift does. I don't remember ever seeing that but I get one email from timeshift per hour as expected on my primary server.
I've selected "Stop cron email"
But why are there so many emails?
(this is a spinoff from my other thread)
I enabled TimeShift for /dev/mmcblk0p2 card on my Pi and got 40+ emails on reboot
Cron <root@xyx-pi> timeshift --check --scripted
Mounted '/dev/mmcblk0p2' at '/run/timeshift/2135345/backup'
Weekly snapshots are enabled
Last weekly snapshot is 0 days old
What were those? Is it normal?

I see an option in TimeShift setting to "Stop cron email", maybe that is what it does?
Is your Pi3 running armhf?
Yes
Pi3:
Processor
ARMv7 Processor rev 3 (v7l)
Kernel
Linux 5.10.103-v7l+
Version
6.9.16-1 (Shaitan)
Pi5:
Processor
Raspberry Pi 5 Model B Rev 1.0
Kernel
Linux 6.6.62+rpt-rpi-2712
Version
7.4.17-2 (Sandworm)
I've noticed TimeShift plugin and have a couple of questions
I see it on R Pi 5 but not on R Pi 3. Is it expected?
Now when I look at Settings I see my SIM card as:
/dev/mmcblk0p2 59G 5.6G 50G 11% /
/dev/mmcblk0p1 510M 63M 448M 13% /boot/firmware
How do I need to back it up and restore it later?

It's better to "pull" an rsync job, from a remote source to a destination on the local server. The reason being, with a push job, if the destination becomes unavailable, a butt-load of temp files may be created on the local server. When pulling, if the remote source is not available, the job simply fails. There's no down side.
If you pull, you also do chown at the destination for local users. It's done at the bottom of an Rsync task in extra options.
--chmod=0755 --chown=root:users
That worked nicely and makes sense, thx!
"I think the limitation of this approach is that all files on the destination side are 'owned' by root. This is not an issue for me but might be for you if you have multiple users."
I need my files to be owned by a specific user.
Thx for the details I will try.
Not sure if it is justified as it still kinda "works"
I think this error will be permission related but need more info on the rsync task/setup.
What are the details of type, source and destination and the user account used.
I use Rsync Service
Push
Source - SMB shared folder on OMV server
Destination - remote OMV server rsync://user@server/folder
Hello
I've setup a rsync task using Rsync Service
It seems to be working fine, but I get an error when run it:
rsync: [generator] failed to set times on "." (in XXX): Operation not permitted (1)
I am not sure how to modify options for this task.
Any clues are appreciated.
TIA
/dev/sda is the disk
/dev/sda1 is a partition on the disk.
If you see /dev/sda1 in the Filesystems tab, that means the partition has a filesystem on it.
Without more info like what you are seeing in the filesystems tab, I can't tell you more.
I got you
Sounds like I was getting worried for nothing. It's as expected
Thx!
Happy Friday all!
I have a USB disk that is listed via Storage/Disks as "/dev/sda"
However, the same disk/device is shown in File Systems as "/dev/sda1"
I am almost sure it's because I tried connecting a new HD and then disconnected it.
It does not cause any problems, but I am curious about what's happening and how to clean it up.
Or just ignore it?
TIA
Are these USB drives? If so this page:
https://blog.karssen.org/2022/…expansion-portable-drive/
Helped me get two Seagate 5 TB USB drives return SMART data.
Thx it looks like a good way to do it.
But I am hesitant to mess up with my drive/kernel just for some additional info.
Thx for detail explanation.
It's easier to drop this idea to use SMART , then to actually make it work.
Hello,
I know this topic was discussed many times, but the truth is my disks are still not working with S.M.A.R.T monitoring
So I'd like to clarify a couple of questions.
1. Is it expected that S.M.A.R.T monitoring with OMV works out of the box (e.g. via OMV GUI)?
2. What are the recommended steps to setup S.M.A.R.T monitoring with OMV? (via GUI and/or CLI)
3. I have one Seagate 5TB disk and one new SSD JMicron (SPCC Solid State Disk) 4TB disk. I believe they do support S.M.A.R.T, but how do I check if this is true?
Thx
OMV can have more that one card in the system, but it is not good for any system to have more than one connection active at the same time if they are on the same network.....
Can two connections be active at the same time temporarily without causing problems?
Say WiFi connected and Ethernet not connected
edit the connection, you will see a method option ad I said above.
Oh it’s well hidden under the IPv4 settings!
Found it thx.
Thats in the network>interfaces.
Edit the interface and change the method to disabled to deactivate it.
Is it on this page?
Where?
Thx
Sorry for being vague or unclear.
My final goal is to set up a new OMV with a new SSD 4TB
I started it at home, but could not compelled and therefore continued on WiFi in a different location for a dry-run.
So now will finish after returning home with a permanent wired connection.
Thx for your help!
