    Technically OMV is not an OS, OMV is software that runs on top of an OS. It provides a GUI front on some services, makes things easier to install/configure via that GUI, etc. The underlying version of Debian, is the actual OS.


    No, OMV 6 will not work on Debian 12. If you read the tags on your thread, OMV 7 is tagged "RC1".. That's Release Candidate 1. While it is basically stable, it is technically not the stable release yet. OMV 6 is the current stable release. However, as mentioned.. OMV 7 is bound to convert to stable any time now (I've used it about 3mo w/o issue).. Debian 11 (that OMV 6 is based on) goes EOL in July, so I'd expect OMV 7 sooner rather than later.

    i know omv isnt an os lmao, i meant i didnt flash the preconfigured installer thingy os from the omv site. i just flashed debian lite, set some stuff up and then installed omv with the script. also, are there any paticular reasons omv6 wont work on debian 12?

    Uh.. Debian 11=OMV 6. OMV 6 will typically go EOL when the next version of OMV is released, but the Debian release it's based on usually hangs around a little longer.


    As for your logic on security, I'll just say I strongly disagree.

    i installed omv after debian, i didnt flash an omv os image.

    plus omv6 would likely work fine on debian 12 anyway. but also, if omv7 isnt released, how come im running it from the default raspi installation script?

    That really makes even less sense since OMV 6 is likely to be EOL soon with OMV 7's release pending, and Debian 11 will be EOL in July (as it stands)

    im not using debian 11, and tbh as long as my stuff works properly and security is recent im going to be honest: i dont care that much, i would much rather a functioning nas slightly less secure than a half-working more secure one.

    In OMV6 i maintained non-working hardware by implementing workarounds. Because this was time consuming (my spare time), introduces errors with other hardware that was working and finally it is not really my job to get that hardware working; as consequence I removed that code and OMV now fully relies on the smartmontools auto-detect feature which is doing the job out-of-the-box. The GitHub post explains why it does not make sense to try to fix that in the OMV code. There is too much hardware out there to do the job in OMV.

    If your hardware is not working, contact the hardware manufacturer to contribute to smartmontools or buy hardware that is supported.

    i understand that can be very time expensive to do, thus you stopped. but then why delete the existing workarounds for users that relied on them?

    However, in omv6, my nas drives were working fine with their smart statuses. and im also unsure of how to modify the database, as the documentation isnt very clear to me...

    paste the error from the notification bell.

    Hi, I recently flashed my raspberry pi 4 with a debian 12, configured some stuff and then installed openmediavault. i mounted my old RAID 1 from my old omv install and it seems to be working fine with my docker containers and other stuff. but i cannot seem to get the drive smart statuses to work. this is what they show on my home page:

    forum.openmediavault.org/wsc/index.php?attachment/34779/


    this is what disks are on my nas:

    forum.openmediavault.org/wsc/index.php?attachment/34780/

    the top one is my boot SD card, the next two are a RAID-1 array of 2tb, and the bottom one is a backup drive.


    this is what i see when going to the disk smart status page:

    forum.openmediavault.org/wsc/index.php?attachment/34781/


    and these are my smart settings:

    forum.openmediavault.org/wsc/index.php?attachment/34782/


    any help would be greatly appreciated, and i am glad to provide more information if required. thank you.

    1 on 1 backup is what I use with rsync.


    If the files are small and lots it will take ages. I have all my rsyncs run at 1am.

    what do you mean by "1 on 1"? as in a complete uncompressed clone of the data? and if so, what way could i set this up. im presuming a cron job running an rsync command every 1am. but what if it needs to use sudo? as i believe i will have to as part of my setup.

    Heya, I wanted to ask what the best backup solution would be for a RAID 1 array, with approximately a terabyte of data on the NAS (that is slowly growing by the day). I have an external 4TB HDD connected, and would like to know what the best method of copying this data over is. I've heard that just using rsync or a tar command every hour on a cron job is fine, but with my recent attempt, it takes me at least 30 minutes to copy a 90gb file stored on the NAS while using rsync.


    I am using a raspberry pi 4 as my NAS device.


    Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.

    As shown below, my NAS has suddenly stopped reporting the SMART statuses of my two disks, I have checked if it is enabled, it is. My RAID array states it is clean and my data is all working fine and intact, nothing else isn't working. I searched online and couldn't see any fixes or threads about this happening, just looking for pointers on why this could have happened, or what to do about it as I need to monitor my SMART status a lot.Any help greatly appreciated, thank you in advance.



    The script really isn't meant to fix a broken system but you need to post all of the output. I can't tell what it did.


    Did you reboot?


    What is the output of: dpkg -l | grep openme

    I did reboot, i also ran the script again when it didnt fix the server the first time. I also rebooted 2 times after that.


    this is the output:


    raspi-nas@alexis:~ $ dpkg -l | grep openme

    The title. I uninstalled open media vault after i messed up the SSL on the dashboard. When that happened, i tried using omv-firstaid to fix it but it didnt work. and after a long time of searching how to fix it, and failing. i decided to just try and re-install it. but when i run the reinstall script (wget -O - https://github.com/OpenMediaVa…Script/raw/master/install | sudo bash) it says:


    but it doesnt give me any web ui or show any signs that it actually reinstalled, even when i reinstall. any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.
