  • Advices on migration from an old Synology Nas to OMV

    I have converted my NasLite box to OMV using my old HDs formatted in ext3.


    After configuring all the services, I have converted the drives from ext3 to ext4.
    Here the steps i made:
    -booted with PartedMagic Usb stick
    -with GParted I have relabeled the 6 drives (they was all labeled with the same text string, making impossible to understand who was who)
    -in a terminal I have issued the command (for example for sdb1):

    Code
    tune2fs -O extents,uninit_bg,dir_index /dev/sdb1


    then

    Code
    e2fsck -fDC0 /dev/sdb1


    Here the instructions I found


    -in the terminal i have modified the /etc/fstab file (for example for sdb1):
    before
    UUID=9e243565-16cd-4a6f-bc39-33fe98d33f55 /media/9e243565-16cd-4a6f-bc39-33fe98d33f55 ext3 defaults,nofail,acl,user_xattr,noexec,usrjquota=aquota.user,grpjquota=aquota.group,jqfmt=vfsv0 0 2
    after
    UUID=9e243565-16cd-4a6f-bc39-33fe98d33f55 /media/9e243565-16cd-4a6f-bc39-33fe98d33f55 ext4 defaults,nofail,acl,user_xattr,noexec,usrjquota=aquota.user,grpjquota=aquota.group,jqfmt=vfsv0 0 2
    -shutdown the system
    -reboot in OMV and the drives in "Filesystem" should read now "Ext4" instead of "Ext3"


    p.s.: if you modify the /etc/fstab from OMV just issue the command (only after you have modified the /etc/fstab file):

    Code
    mount -a

  • Steps to remove old HDs and replace them with new ones

    Never again.
    I had to uninstall all the plugin (losing all the settings), several reboots and in the end there is a shared folder that is not possible to delete.
    Really, never again. A lot easier to format all and reinstall, or simply remove the disks and modify by hand the omv config .xml file.

  • Steps to remove old HDs and replace them with new ones

    I'm testing OMV with 3 old refurbished hard drives, now I have ordered new HDs to start the transition from my old NAS to the OMV box.
    Now i need to remove the 3 test hds. My aim is to avoid the "missing filesystem" error.


    I have installed Aufs for pooling and SnapRaid for data protection.


    1) remove the aufs bind share in the web gui
    2) in snapraid webgui push the "reset" button to remove the snapraid configuration
    3) in the ftp webgui remove the shared folder and uncheck the "enable" service checkbox
    4) in the smb/cifs webgui remove the shared folder, and uncheck the "enable" service checkbox
    5) in the webgui "shared folder" remove all the shared folder defined on the system
    6) in the "file systems" webgui use the "delete" button (this is even possible once the shared folders are deleted and all services are disabled ???)


    There are other steps to make for removing the old 3 hds and installing the new ones ?


    Thanks in advance for any suggestion.

  • SnapRaid Log

    I have written a very simple scripts for sync, scrub and check for Snapraid:


    Here an example:

    Bash
    #!/bin/bash
dove="/var/log/snapraid.log"
echo ................................................................................................................................................ >> $dove
echo . >> $dove
date >> $dove
echo . >> $dove
echo ................................................................................................................................................ >> $dove
snapraid sync >> $dove
echo ................................................................................................................................................ >> $dove


    I don't know why, but the file in /var/log/snapraid.log is not visible in the WebGui SystemLog when I select the SnapRaid log.

  • Advices on migration from an old Synology Nas to OMV

    Today I had the time to test the TransmissionBT plugin.
    All very easy, just one command to issue in the CLI.


    I have created 3 directories for Transmission:
    bt-down
    bt-incomplete
    bt-watch


    Then as root:

    Code
    chown debian-transmission:users bt-*


    The speed of download is also very good. Much better than my Rasperry PI Transmission Daemon.
    I have just to integrate my programs for the torrents download ("the poor man's CouchPotato" programs... :D ) and I have almost done all my tests.

    overkill is the right expression :)


    You can convert them (read) but you probably don't need to. If you still want to convert them, do it before mounting in OMV.


    Thanks for the link, I've just read the guide, I thought it would be more complex than that.
    By the way I think you're right, I can test OMV without converting the drives.
    Just in case something goes wrong (the hardware of my old machine + OMV), I can remove from the machine the OMV OS drive and go back with the Naslite OS.
    I think I will do this way. Thanks for your advice.

    Check out couchpotato, sabnzbd, headphones, transmissionbt, sickbeard then...


    I've look at all this apps, they are great but in the end, for my personal needs are just a "overkill" (I don't know is the right expression :) )


    I was wondering to "upgrade" my backup Naslite server box to an OMV box.
    Can I convert the hard drives of the Naslite box (they are full of data) from ext3 to ext4 without formatting them ?

  • [RESOLVED] Unknown user/ group (only userid/ groupid)

    I have a similar problem. In the picture the Owner and the Group are "98" instead of root.
    When I try to push the Apply button i get this error.
    In the last days I have tested the Ftp server, earlier today I have deleted the Ftp user I created for the tests, and I have disabled (unchecked) the Ftp server.


    The "poolshare" in the picture is the shared folder bind for Aufs.


    I hope is fixable, otherwise I have to reinstall :(


    Thanks.



  • SnapRaid Log

    Zitat von "ryecoaaron"

    The script that solo wrote writes to the log. Otherwise nothing else does. If click Clear, it creates the file for the first time.


    Ok I understand, I will try the scripts then. Thank you again Ryeco

  • SnapRaid Log

    I'm testing SnapRaid in my OMV test box.
    Is configured with a 2tb and a 250gb hard drives data, and a 2tb parity hard drive.
    When I try to read the SnapRaid log i got this message.
    SnapRaid is in use for several weeks now, but there isn't the log file in /var/log.


    I'm doing something wrong?
    Thanks in advance.


  • Help on bash script

    I don't know if is offtopic :?:


    I was testing a bash script, I want to obtain this:
    -change directory (let's say /home/user1/program1/)
    -execute a program in /home/user1/program1/
    ./home/user1/program1/program.exe


    Bash
    #!/bin/bash
cd /home/user1/program1/
./home/user1/program1/program.exe


    Bash
    #!/bin/bash
cd /home/user1/program1/
./program.exe


    Neither of the two scripts works... Any help is appreciated! Thanks in advance

  • Beyond Kralizec

    I'm not worried, was just a technical curiosity :D
    I was asking myself if the port from Squeeze to Wheezy is intrinsecally more difficult because of the OS or for the way is developed OMV.

  • Beyond Kralizec

    I was wondering about the successor of OMV Kralizec (0.6 or 1.0).


    The port from Debian Wheezy to the next version Jessie, will be as difficult as the port from Squeeze to Wheezy or will be easier ?

  • Advices on migration from an old Synology Nas to OMV

    Ryeco is really funny, I have discovered that my harbour programs are similar to couchpotato :D
    My programs are "primitive" compared to couchpotato of course; they work only with torrents (here in Italy usenet is pratically dead)
    I didn't know this program... I have discovered it today reading the forums :D

  • rsync running very slowly

    I'm having the same issue with my Synology Nas. Really really slow. I don't know how I can "debug" it.
    I execute this command from OMV ssh session (is a pull rsync. source synology target omv):

    Code
    rsync -avz --delete -e ssh utente@192.168.0.50:/volume1/smb/dati/ /media/AufsPool/smb/dati/


    Edit: I tried to create a rsync task in the webgui, but i failed. I think is a password/privilege issue... just a guess.
