  • Should I upgrade or stay on 7?

    Quote from tmihai20

    I have setup a recurring job that backs up the system drive every week using fsarchiver and I am keeping at least 2 previous backups. I would strongly recommend using fsarchiver or dd before an upgrade. I have been using OMV since OMV 2.x on an ARM board like Raspbery Pi (oDroid XU4). I have went through every incremental upgrade since then. I can safely say that upgrades have went a lot smoother since OMV 5.

    Thanks so much for your comment and for sharing your personal experience. Regarding FSArchiver, is it better than the OMV Backup plugin, or is it basically the same? My love-hate relationship with backup apps or commands is the restore process: how do I restore everything in case of a system crash?

    I can have the backup files stored on a flash drive or in the cloud, but I’m not sure what the procedure is to restore OMV from those specific files in case of a system total crash?

    omv8 is very stable.


    I've seen many, many more people reporting perfect upgrades. Most issues are very minor and easily solvable. It is completely expected to have upgrade issues when people who don't know linux are doing the upgrade.


    If you do everything on your system from the OMV web interface and don't do lots of customization from the command line, you will likely have a good upgrade. The fix7to8upgrade script fixes most issues with upgrade failures.

    Hello @ryecoaaron thanks for your reply. what us that fix7to8upgrade script and where would I find it?

  • Should I upgrade or stay on 7?

    I have a Raspberry Pi 4 running OMV 7 smoothly and perfectly. Should I upgrade to version 8 now, or wait until the initial bugs are resolved? I’ve seen many people reporting issues after the upgrade. In my case, I have critical services running on Portainer and data on my hard drives that we use constantly, so I can't afford hours of downtime if the upgrade fails. Any thoughts?

    If your system isn't swapping or OOM'ing now, then why not let Linux do its thing? Just because it is using ram doesn't mean it won't give it up for something that needs it. Maybe the newer kernel and/or libraries are putting more in ram and your performance will actually increase. I think you are worrying about a problem that doesn't exist. This page is always good to read as well - https://www.linuxatemyram.com/

    Point taken... I think I'm really worrying too much and I should leave the RAM issue alone and move on. Thanks so much for your time and suggestion

    I don't know.


    When I say docker, it mostly the containers. I don't think docker itself is using more ram than omv 6. I don't want to install docker on my rpi just to check. It would be up to each container image to lower the ram use. All I can tell you is what ps tells me. Is your system swapping or OOMing? Why the concern about ram use?

    My concern about RAM usage is performance... I want the system to have enough space to use RAM when needed instead of allocating memory that probably will never be used and if I have to run more than 2 or 3 tasks at once , I don't; want the system ti swap memory off of the SSD drive (I don't use the SD card as the main system storage). So that's the reason and also trying to understand why the upgrade to 7 allocated that much RAM memory compared with OMV 6 and I'm surte re-installing OMV 7 from scratch won't change a thing.

    You have the web interface open when running that which inflates the ram use by about 120mb (same as my rpi4 with web interface open). Samba is using about 40mb. The rest of your memory use is docker and its containers (plex, portainer, etc). As I mentioned in post #25, the ram use for omv components on your system is about the same as omv 6.

    Ok.. so why docker is allocating that much RAM memory since I have the same 2 dockers I had when using OMV 6? (I only have 2 containers, PLEX and Portainer), is there a way to lower the allocated RAM memory that docker is using on OMV 7 ???

    Excellent... thank you so much

    Connect a key board and display, login and run omv-firstaid to configure the network interface.

    By the way... with that the fix6to7 script, the updates notifications and function was already restored on my system? it did update my OMV to the latest version but I don't know if from now on it will be showing me that I have pending updates to download when they become available?

    Thanks so much... I was just about to write that I did connect the display and keyboard to do the first-aid... and now is back online. Do yu think I shpuld run something else from first-aid or from the command line after I executed the fix6to7 upgrade script ??

    Ok, happens some times after an upgrade from OMV6 to OMV7

    run the fix6to7 upgrads script
    wget -O - https://github.com/OpenMediaVault-Plugin-Developers/installScript/raw/master/fix6to7upgrade | sudo bash

    Hello I have executed the script and it went well with no errors and then the CUI wanted me to apply the changes and when I did that I lost access to my Raspberry Pi, just can't access it through the network... what should I do?

    I don't use a mac very often. Do you have mail notifications enabled on your OMV system? If you do, this will send the file to me:


    ps aux > ps.txt

    mailx -s "ps aux output" -a ps.txt plugins@omv-extras.org < /dev/null

    Hello... I finally was able to extract the ps.txt file out of the Pi... here is the file... hope you can help me find and suggest a fix to this issue with the allocated RAM memory

    I haven't received it yet. Not sure if a spam filter blocked it.

    By the way I never got any E-mail out of the OMV despite the Email settings are prperly setup but don't know if something else is blocking the E-mails from the Pi and honestly I won't have time to diagnose that so I rather will go ahead to extract the ps.txt file out of the Pi which has not been as easy as I thought it would be, but as soon as I have time I will do it and share it here

    It helps you but I was trying to help the OP.


    Looking at your output, docker is using most of the ram. Your system is using within a few megs of ram as my rpi4 for nginx, php-fpm, omv-engined. Most of your ram usage is docker containers. I don't have an rpi running omv6 but the ram usage for omv services is very low and if it did increase from omv 6 to 7, it was insignificant.

    Just curious... do you have docker containers in your Pi?

    Sorry that I have not been able to extract the ps.text file out of my Raspberry Pi and I need to finish some work myself for a client and as soon as I can extract the ps.text out of the Pi I will share it here for sure.

    I just did what you instructed and I do have the Email notifications ON, this is what I did and it gave me that message about the NULL in messsage body.. Please let me know if you received the file:

    So i'm lost then... don't know how to export the report in the way you can help me out with. What you see here in this 4 code posts is exactly the way I see it in Terminal for MacOS... so I don't know if the lines are truncated or nit because what I see is what I gave you here.. Do you know what other SSH software should I use to be able to see the whole lines (for Mac)?
