    Thank you. You are opening up study paths for me. I will still have to spend more time.

    Every tool in OMV has too many options. You have to know how to use them well to avoid problems. It is complex.

    It would be nice to enable a basic mode with only the basic options and an advanced mode with all the options. Sure there are options that are not necessary for the average user. If they could hide it would be easier. When you already know how to use the basics, you take one more step and activate the advanced options. In the style of kodi.

    The wiki was, originally, for Linux experts and developers

    Now I understand it all. There are still reminiscences of the origin of the text. You have done a great job.

    Tell me, did the translation make sense?

    Yes. It is perfectly understood. Illustrations in English are not a problem. I have next to my GUI in Spanish if there are doubts.

    Off line means you can't access the ...

    Thanks for the explanation, I will use it well. It was just an example of the problems that I find myself. The famous disk is already in synology running smoothly. I changed one for another.


    This is life

    so is :thumbup:^^


    You and everyone else, to include me. I've been

    I get the impression that the problem with this thread came after doing several rsync for a backup. Something changed permissions to many folders and files. I tried to solve it by modifying ACL permissions and I didn't get anything. Is it possible that this ends up affecting the access of a disk? I had files copied to various sites. I made copies with rsync from a synology, from windows, from OMV between two disks ... it was varied.

    I had to reinstall the system for another problem. I can tell you that the disks with data can be reassembled without problems in the OMV GUI. You will not lose the data.

    When you have mounted them you have to create the same shared folders that you had before and you will be able to access your data. As for the snapraid I don't know if it is possible to take advantage of the parity disk. But it is a lesser evil. You can reconfigure snapraid and resynchronize the parity disk.

    Luck.

    That guide is here https://openmediavault.readthe…rd-drive-health-and-smart

    and google translates it for me on the screen without doing anything. This manual covers many topics but without going into depth and often in technical language. It is assumed that to manage / start in OMV you only have to be a windows user and have knowledge of networks, I have read this somewhere.

    I have been looking at the explanation of SMART, for example. When he says that a long test is an "off line" test, it is as if they spoke to me in Chinese. Will I be able to use the data while the test is done? I cant? Will I have the server stopped for 18 hours? Do I have to do something before the disc so that it is "off line"? Do I have to disassemble it? To find the answer I have to start googling what that means ... and in the end it takes three hours to understand everything. Or ask here continuously and bother for nonsense. It is an example, similar things have happened to me with other OMV songs. Sometimes I do things that I don't know what I'm doing, like the "Flash memory" settings, that I have to get into editing fstab and write things that I don't know what they mean. Or the issue of file permissions, which drives me crazy. Finding the detailed explanation is the difficult thing. And the procedures.


    Regarding synology, I know that it has its advantages and disadvantages. And I like the drawbacks less and less, that's why I'm here looking for alternatives. :) I hope to get to use OMV as a winchoff over time. You will not get rid of me and my questions. ;):D:D

    Finally I decided to start over with a clean installation ... I have already lost count of how many I have done ... I hope this is the final one.


    Thank you very much for the extensive explanation on SMART. Some things I already knew and others are new, you always learn.


    I know it's not fair to compare OMV to synology, but I can't help it. I've been with synology for many years and I miss a place where all the information is organized and updated. Here it is very difficult sometimes to find the information. It is all very disaggregated and often in a tremendously technical language, very difficult to understand for a user not used to Linux. On the other hand, it is the only thing missing. Everything else I know I have here and you just have to learn how to use it.


    Anyway my congratulations to all OMV developers. They are doing a great job. I'll keep trying, I guess it's a matter of patience and I have a lot.

    I don't know how to do a long test. And every time I do something in linux / OMV I waste three hours reading and looking for information.

    I have two other disks like that in a Synology server in RAID 1. I will replace the disk with one of those two. And I'll put that in synology, which is easier to test.

    Then I will retrieve the data with SnapRaid and we will see the result.

    This system is giving me a lot of problems and work ... I am learning a lot but at a very high price.

    fstab is correct.

    The sda disk does not have RO.


    It occurs to me to remove that disk, format it, and recover the information with SnapRaid. Would it fix the problem?

    The system startup log shows various errors.

    The output of the lsblk command indicates that all disks are RO in mode 0. The affected disk is sda.

    After trying to write a file I get this error.

    And after the lsblk command again it seems to be RO in mode 0.




    The fstab file shows the same disk settings for all disks. There is no RO option on the sda disk. (I don't know how to copy this file to display it).


    Did you backup your USB boot drive?

    I have a copy from a week ago. It won't do, I made a lot of changes this week.

    I just made a new one.

    The problem continues. When I restart the system everything is normal. I can write and delete files. I can sync Snapraid.

    After a few minutes the disc goes into read mode. I can no longer write or delete files. I can't sync.

    It is as if some process were started that changes the operation of the disk.

    I don't understand Anything.

    After dinner I sat at the computer and the system was restarting itself.

    After that I have tried rsync in sanpraid and it is syncing normally. And I can copy and delete files.

    ?????

    Do I have goblins on the computer?

    ?????


    I mark the thread as solved ..... mysteriously....

    I have received an email with this error


    Code
    Service:     filesystem_srv_dev-disk-by-uuid-336149ff-95b4-4cfc-ad09-ab37c7a469a2
    Event:       Filesystem flags changed
    Description: filesystem flags changed to ro,relatime,jqfmt=vfsv0,usrjquota=aquota.user,grpjquota=aquota.group

    what does this mean?

    I have restarted it several times. When I restart it, it lets me write for a few minutes. Then you can't.

    I was copying and deleting files that are in a synology through a windows computer using samba. In case it helps. I have rebooted all 3 machines and it remains the same.

    Thank you for responding quickly. :thumbup:

    Apparently one of my disks is in read-only mode?. I don't know how this happened or how to fix it.

    I was just deleting some files from a shared folder and copying others. Some files won't let me copy them and other files won't let me delete them.

    Snapraid has sent me an error email. This is the message.

    For what it's worth, the last thing I've done is a backup with rsync. I also activated the recycle bins on all shared folders yesterday. I only have one working docker package, Jellyfin.

    SMART says the disks are fine.

    If I restart the system it lets me write and delete files for a few minutes, then the disk won't write.


    I'm lost, I can't find information about this. Any suggestion? Thanks...

    That's the benefit of Existing Path, most free space. Once the path is set on one drive, as in a new shared folder, all files go to that folder. If dropping the mount point, there's nothing to consolidate or sort out. Files are under their intended sub-directory. The problem with this policy is "Video" storage. When a "video" shared folder is set, using EP,MFS that folder is the only place where video is stored. This is what we see on the forum and it's the reason why the associated drive fills up.

    One way to solve it would be for OMV to automatically create the folder on the second disk when the first one is full. It would be a transparent process for the user maintaining the Existing Path, most free space policy.
