Thank you for the answer!
I hope that the problem is solved...
(til now I got only an alert about "PID changed Service php5-fpm" that I think is normal...)

After I update to the last packages my NAS in the morning, I receive several mail like this:

I use few plugin and I don't know what the message means...
Thanks for attention! -
After several search on this argument, I place again a question that is already placed somewhere else in this forum but without an exaustive answer.
The wiki page doesn't help (I hope someone can update it!).Here are option to set the Advanced Power Management:
ZitatAlles anzeigenAdvanced Power Management

My OMV is installed on a HP N54L microserver on a SSD and in the meantime for the storage I use a single WD Red 4Tb HDD.
The microserver is on 24/24 and 7/7.
I can not understand how these setting affect energy consumption and performance.
For example: I know that values 1-127 permit spin-down, but what is the difference between the 3 choices? And why there is a further option "Spindown Time"?
I hope that someone can help me (and several people that ask the same thing without answer). -
I know that this request has already been made, but it seems that the plugin is not out there.
Is it possible to have emule for our OMV? -
Sorry for my new question.
Any suggestions for Advanced Power Management (and the other related settings) of Physical Disks?
I read many articles but I can not understand wich are the best settings in my configuration... -
Here I am again.
First of all many thanks to subzero79 for the link to the LVM explained.
I made many tests on a virtual machine and all seems to work well.
I report here what I have learned from my trials...First of all, the lvm2 plugin must be installed.
This plugin helps to set logical volumes via WebGui.First step is add an hard disk (or an array) to Physical volumes.
Go to Storage->Logical Volume Management and on the first tab "Physical volumes" click to Add.
In the window that will open, you can select a device that is installed in your system.
Only wiped hard drive can be selected. (I had an empty hard drive already formatted and it was not possible to select it).Second step. Create a Volume group in the second tab.
Clicking on the Add button it's possible to select an available physical volume.Third step. Create a logical volume in the third tab.
Here we must set a name for the LV (for example "Video"), select the volume group within which create it, and set the size of this volume. The GUI proposes by default the maximum possible size.Fourth step. Now we must to add this new volume to our file system. So we go to Storage->File Systems->Create, Select the device, set the label and a file system. Finally we must mount it and add it to Shared Folders.
You can extend the logical volume if you have free space in a volume group. This can be done in these steps:
1) add a new hard drive (or raid) to Physical Volumes
2) In Volume groups select the existing VG, click on Extend and select the available device
3) In Logical Volumes select the logical volume that you want and click on Extend to set the new size
4) In Storage->File Systems select the volume and click on Resize (in this moment the new partion on the new hard drive is formatted with the same File system)I do not really like having to immediately set the size of each logical volume and not being able to eventually reduce it later. So my question is: without free space on a volume group is not possible to resize a logical volume without loosing data? In the WebGui this is not...
About File system.
In these days I have read many articles on this subject, but no one has convinced me to one choice or another. Reducing the choice between EXT4 and XFS, in some areas it is preferable to the first, in others the second. Some benchmarks tests the file systems in areas that do not interest me (see the use of the database). Many say that XFS is more effective with large file (or volumes ???), but on my server there will be also many (relatively) small files (eg, a few thousand photos 2Mb each, several videos from 350M each, etc..).
In "mixed" cases like this XFS is still preferable, or you might as well stay on EXT4?I think I will go with EXT4.
Thank a lot for reading! -
You can also just download a pre-made VM image here
Yes, I know, but, as I wrote in my last post, I think it is more instructive to build the virtual machine from scratch in order to reach out and touch all that you're going to do on the real machine.

Thanks a lot to all for answers!
You can take a look here for LVM explained:
http://www.routemybrain.com/un…me-manager-%E2%80%93-lvm/
Also I'd recommend you to pick the OMV virtualbox appliance so you can play and destroy with the LVM. That can give you a better understanding of how LVM works. take a look here
Thank you for the link: as soon as possible I will read about LVM.
Thank you also for a virtualized OMV version: I think is the best way to learn how OMV works and make experiments without worries.
But I think that the best way is to build from scratch a VM. I find here a very good guide for this.LVM aka Volume Group as subzero said. For filesystem i personally use xfs on big volumes, no 16tb limit if you go big. The other pro and cons are minor for most of the users - imho
ext4 is used by the majority of users, so maybe its more easy if you dont wanna dive into it too deep. But as said before, there is (was?) a 16tb limit on ext4 implementations.
You say that xfs is better in big volumes, but if the 16tb is no more a limit for ext4, why xfs can be better than ext4?
I hope to find an article which explains the pros and cons of various filesystem...
Oh sorry. Of course not. CPU is required for transcoding. So the grapic cards do not help you here...So in OMV (and Debian) the GPU can not help the CPU in transcoding? I think that this is possible under Windows...
Why this? Is a driver problem? Or a software problem? -
Graphic cards are supported up to 25W power usage. These ones definitely work with it:
- Sapphire Radeon HD 6450, 1GB DDR3 (11190-02-20G)
- MSI R6450-MD1GD3/LP, 1GB DDR3 (V212-046R)
- XFX Radeon HD 6450 passiv, 1GB DDR3 (HD-645X-ZNH2)
- PowerColor Radeon HD 5450 Go! Green PCIe x1, 512MB (AE5450 512MD2-SH/R81BLB-PE3)
Sorry, I don't understand.
These cards can work with OMV and can help with transcoding?
Thanks for your answer! -
Here I am again!
My HP N54L is now at home.
Installed last OMV 64 bit on a SSD drive and all seems ok.
Now I got many doubts about setup my new NAS.
As I said some post before, for now I got only one HDD for storage: is a WD Red 4tb that is installed in the microserver.
But I don't know wich filesystem use with this: I can not find guides on this point.
EXT4 or XFS?
Yes, tom_tav gives me a suggestion, but I don't know when is preferred the first one and when the second.And going beyond the choice of the filesystem, I admit I did not understand the other's suggestion tom_tav:
"Configure the hdd with volume groups, so its easier to expand it later."
Can someone explain me step-by-step what I must do? Or link me a guide?Any other suggetsion about configuration for newbie is really appreciated!

Hi!
I've ordered my HP N54L microserver some days ago, but I have to wait about a week before the server is delivered.
Along with the server I ordered a 40gb SSD drive for OMV and a WD Red 4TB for storage.
In the meantime I'm documenting on how to proceed with the installation of OMV and I have several questions that I would like to share with you.Starting from the bios mod, since I'm going to install the SSD in the ODD bay, I have read the excellent guide posted by WastlJ in the previous page.
I have understood that the latest version of the bios mod for the N54L is the O41100113.rom (to flash with the help of the app SP64420.exe).
Can you confirm that this is right?The second doubt (this is banal, I know, but be patient!).
I do not know if the AMD Turion II works in 64-bit or not! Which version of OMV should I use?As for the installation, I should not have problems: I write the OMV iso on a usb stick and then install the system on the SSD.
But I have some doubt about system configuration.
Initially I will install a single 4tb HDD for storage, but being this my first NAS, I do not know how to configure it.
There are guides for beginners with tips for the right configuration of the storage disk?
I'd also like to have some indication of the essential plug-in to be installed.I conclude with some request about our microserver.
My model is sold with 4GB of RAM and no hard disk.
About RAM: 4GB is enough, or for OMV would be better to increase it?I will use the HP as a media server.
I know the processor of the N54L is not particularly powerful, and would not be able to transcoding high resolution video (1080p).
It's possible to remedy this with an additional graphic card? OMV would be able to take advantage of this for transcoding?Thanks so much!

First, just want to say I'm not that familiar with the G7 N54L, I'm just looking at internet specs to try and provide an answer. It appears to come with a 250gig drive.. is there any reason you cannot use it for the OS? You'd probably need a 5.25x3.5 bay adapter, but those can be had pretty cheap. With drive sizes being what they are (with 2-3TB drives being pretty affordable), I'd consider 250gigs expendable... My NAS that I built, the OS sits on a 160gig drive. Yeah, I have about 150gigs of "dead space".. but I have 4tb total w/ my other drives... so it's not a big concern to me. If you're cutting it that close on storage, you might want to consider bigger data drives.
Also, have you considered eBay? You can find new/refurb/used 2.5in sata drives in the 80-160gig range for around $30-$40 USD. Again, you'd probably want to look at a bay adapter for a platter drive, but they are not that expensive. You don't mention what country you're in, but I'm assuming you're in Europe somewhere, so you should be able to find something on eBay I would think. http://www.ebay.com/itm/120GB-…rives&hash=item56681983e0
Broken laptops, netbooks, etc. can also be a good source for 2.5in drives. You might have a friend or relative that has one laying around that will let you have the hard drive for free/very cheap.
Just my personal opinion (and I don't know what shipping would be to your area obviously), but at the cost of the N54L, I would build a NAS rather than buy one. $400 is pretty steep for what is pretty meager hardware.
Thanks to all for replies!
About the N54L: this microserver comes in 2 versions. One with 2gb ram and a 250gb drive, the second comes with 4gb ram and no HHD inside.
The first version il sold at high price, but I can find the second one at 160€ shipped, that is not a bad price (I think)...
After some research, I found an Intel 320 series 40Gb at 32€ shipped (the 500gb is at 39€ shipped).
So I think I'll buy the SSD.
Thanks for help! -
In my honest opinion you should use only the disk for OS and nothing else, see if you could go for an 30/60 GB SSD, the price is not much more expensive than the sata's 500 Gb 2.5".
Thank you for the answer. Thanks to Dennis too!
The SSD disk less expensive that I find from my vendor costs more than double the cheapest 2.5" disk... -
Hi!
I'm about to buy a HP N54L to build my new NAS and would like to use OMV as the operating system.
But I have doubts about the system drive on which install OMV.
Since I don't have an old hard drive and the use of an USB flash drive is depracated, I'm looking for a cheap hard drive to buy.
The cheapest one I've found is a 2.5" disk with 500GB of space, but I do not want to sacrifice the whole space just for configuration files.
I then looked for a guide to be able to use also the system disk for storage.
On the old forum I found a guide on this thread but I confess that I do not understand any of the 4 proposed methods (the method 4 is in the second post).
Could someone be so kind to post a guide as simple as possible for me that don't use linux?
This to see if the hard drive that I would like to buy can be fully exploited with OMV.
Many thanks!
