So i've had my trusty goflex net install, running OMV 0.4.38 Fedaykin on 3.3.2 Kirkwood, for a year or so now with minor issues but basically pretty reliable. I use netatalk to share some drives and rsysnc to back stuff up, and occasionally FTP. Certainly not a bleeding edge user, but it's a pretty stable configuration, as long as I don't lose power (see below). But recently I've been thinking it would be worth testing an upgrade. I briefly explored the latest Erasmus build, on Jessie - it seemed to be ok, but the webUI stuttered and i think it may be an upgrade too far for the limited hardware in my box. Has anyone had better luck? Is there a strong motivation for the upgrade, is there a half-way house (stone burner?) that would be a good compromise or should I stick to what works? Thanks
p.s. as above, when I lose power, the NAS often fails to boot fully - kernel loads etc, but can never SSH in. believe it's FSCK being invoked on the drives, and then failing due to lack of memory. I can set up a temp SWAP file, run fsck and confirm drives are clean, then reboot and all is well again. But is there a better approach to this problem? Should I be running a permanent swap? Thanks for any help
