    If you have a copy, I would do this:

    1. run omv-firstaid

    2. remove the extra line from cmdline.txt

    3. reboot.

    4. hope for the best and let us know if that works.


    I bricked it previously, then restored the backup, run omv-firstaid, updated to 7.5.0 and it works fine, so the steps above should also work for you.

    use sudo:

    sudo pmv-firstaid

    Hi,


    I usually keep my OMV 7 pretty up-to-date.

    A 7.5.0 update just appeared on the dashboard. I did the update and lost access to the dashboard, my network drive and SSH access.

    Also my router doesn't show up the RPI4 connected any longer.


    I will recover my last backup to the SD card, but is there any particular reason why it failed badly?

    Was this solved?

    I have the same issue. At the moment I just recovered the SD card from the backup, but it would be great to get it sorted.

    Cannot exactly remember, but pretty sure I didn't follow the procedure with the the preinstall script.

    Is there a way to fix it on the installed OMV?

    Can I run the preinstall script now, reboot and then change the hostname?

    I did try journal. That was the "dmesg from previous sessions" mentioned in my previous email.

    Command journalctl -o short -k -b -1 gives me this result (showing only a few lines):


    The alert was from the 29th of March, but nothing in the log above as you can see.

    Thank you. Yes, noticed the description. Which log would it be? Syslog or kernel log available from the admin panel doesn't have anything around that date. I SSHed and checked older logs (kern.log.1, faillog, dmesg from previous sessions) and also couldn't find anything from that date. All I can find is either today's reboot or a previous boot weeks ago.

    Hi,


    I received a notification email from OMV yesterday:


    Subject:

    [omv] Monitoring alert -- Filesystem flags changed filesystem_srv_dev-disk-by-uuid-9b905237-9d8a-4a60-b86a-8eab1bce9483


    Body:

    The system monitoring needs your attention.

    Host:        omv

    Date:        Fri, 29 Mar 2024 09:07:42

    Service:     filesystem_srv_dev-disk-by-uuid-9b905237-9d8a-4a60-b86a-8eab1bce9483

    Event:       Filesystem flags changed

    Description: filesystem flags changed from 'rw,relatime,jqfmt=vfsv0,usrjquota=aquota.user,grpjquota=aquota.group' to 'ro,relatime,jqfmt=vfsv0,usrjquota=aquota.user,grpjquota=aquota.group'

    This triggered the monitoring system to: alert


    After the alert email the filesystem became Read-Only.


    This is a LUKS partition. No other issues were detected. No recent reboots or a power issues. No recent SMART alerts.



    A reboot helped to solve the problem, but can someone explain why it happened and how to avoid this kind of issues in a future?


    I use OMV since version 5.x (use LUKS since ver 6.x - around 1.5-2 years) and it has never happened to me before.


    Many thanks

    On another forum I am someone just posted that his donation via PayPal to a different Open Source project was also rejected (not supported in his country), so it may be a PayPal thing...

    BernH - as posted above - I've already tried "omv" and "omv.local". Also "omv.broadband". No luck.


    Just noticed in the router status that it restarted at night due to an automatic upgrade from my ISP just before the OMV kernel log reported Link Down / Link Up.


    It may be related to that.


    Restarted it manually again. Disabled and re-enabled IP4 and IP6 DNS in a local network (The DNS is provided by the router). No luck.


    Will investigate. If no solution then I'll live with it. No problem. It's funny that it's only 1 of my two RPI4s I have in a local network.

    Hi all,


    I have a weird problem this morning:


    Cannot access the OMV dashboard and SSH using a hostname. I have it bookmarked, so always use the same link. I tired omv and omv.local - none of them work.

    It works fine with IP.


    Using SSH I have an error message:

    ssh: Could not resolve hostname omv: Temporary failure in name resolution

    when SSH using the IP the prompt reports as:

    pi@omv:~ $

    so with the hostname


    I have another RPI in a home network (running something else, not OMV) and it works fine.


    There were some automatic updates running yesterday evening (docker-compose-plugin, openmediavault-resetperms, rpi-eeprom).


    Also yesterday I opened raspi-config, disabled predictable network interface names, but it asked me to restart, so I enabled it again.


    Any suggestions?


    Many thanks.



    EDIT: found that in kernel.log if it helps:



    28/02/2024, 04:47:22     kernel: bcmgenet fd580000.ethernet end0: Link is Up - 1Gbps/Full - flow control off

    28/02/2024, 04:46:07     kernel: bcmgenet fd580000.ethernet end0: Link is Down

    28/02/2024, 04:45:39     kernel: bcmgenet fd580000.ethernet end0: Link is Up - 1Gbps/Full - flow control off

    28/02/2024, 04:45:32     kernel: bcmgenet fd580000.ethernet end0: Link is Down

    The error says:

    wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda1, missing codepage or helper program, or other error.


    What is the filesystem type on your disk?

    Is it ext4 or something else which Linux supports natively?

    Run the below command on the client machine and let us know what the output is:

    showmount -e <omv_server_hostname_or_ip>


    PS. Remember that for NFS4 you skip "export" bit when mounting, so something which looked like this in NFS3: "/export/my_disk" will become "/my_disk" in NFS4.

    Hi all,


    While sorting out some issues with OMV recently I realized I run 32-bit version.

    I want to upgrade to 64-bit soon.


    Is there any option I can backup all or most of my configuration which I can restore after the new 64-bit installation?

    (either via web dashboard or manually copying / backing up files)


    Many thanks for your advice.

    Just to let you all know - when I've been asked to apply the changes again I clicked cancel or revert (cannot remember how it is called) and it doesn't show the notification any longer. Also the /var/lib/openmediavault/dirtymodules.json file is empty. And the hostname is the new hostname I set up a few days ago. So I guess all is as it should be.

    Tailscale. Can be run as a docker container, and does not need an open port in the router.


    Or wireguard, available as an OMV plugin. It requires to open a port in the router.

    You can install Tailscale directly in the OMV. This is what I use.

    You don't need Docker for one package.
