  • Mobile apps to connect to OMV

    If you use ownCloud, there is an Android client which is quite good.


    Other than than I suggest ES Explorer, which is a file explorer that handles just about any protocol, including CIFS, FTP, SFTP, WebDav...

  • How to move OMV system to another drive

    Well, this is how I did it:
    1) Backup up the source drive with clonezilla
    2) Booted SystemrescueCD with gparted.
    3) Created a 50GB partition with boot flag and 8GB swap on the destination drive (not sure if this was necessary)
    4) Reduced boot partition on source drive to 50GB (exact same size as above)
    5) Copied boot partition from destination to source drive with clonezilla with "install grub" option.
    6) Pulled out source drive and rebooted.


    I didn't pay much attention to the UUIDs of the drives, but it seems to be working fine as it is.


    Thanks guys!

  • How to move OMV system to another drive

    I'm a newbie to OMV, so sorry if this is an obvious question.


    I have OMV on an HP N54L. The data is in RAID1 on two 1TB drives in two bays. The system is on a 3.5" 320GB drive in the 4th drive bay. Now I want to free up that bay by moving the system to a 2.5" 80GB drive that will be attached to the 5th SATA port.


    I've installed the openmediavault-backup plugin, but I'm not sure how to proceed from here. I understand that Clonezilla can only move the system to a bigger drive, not a smaller one.


    So how would I proceed to copy the OMV system from one drive to the other ? Will I be better off doing a full install in the new drive and reconfiguring everything?
