So while researching the Files | Add from Example I stumbled onto this. It looks like it was implemented late in OMV 6 but fully in OMV 7?

Or maybe I'm missing something?

The real question I had was should I be using the add from example to install Nextcloud or something else? There is a entry for it... so I think that is the "proper" way but not sure.

Any light on this feature?

Where can I go to read about Add from example in files, docker compose?

I'm obviously missing something basic, so please speak slowly.

Here's a way to do it. https://wiki.omv-extras.org/do…#nextcloud_aio_all_in_one

Ah yes so NextCloud AIO, should I be following them?

What's the deal with "Add from example" in OMV? Is that not a recommended option then?

So recently installed OMV 7 and just got docker working. I'd like to get Nextcloud working. I had it in OMV 5 but a lot has changed in OMV 7.

I noticed in OMV | Services | Compose | Files, when I click on Add from example there is an option for:

nextcloud - Nextcloud gives you access to all your files wherever you are.

Should I be installing it that way? I've seen posts about NextCloud AIO should I be following them?

As of OMV 7 what is the "correct" / recommended way to get NextCloud working?

Thanks

I can give it a look, no promises though. Is it on some public git repository? I've never played around with creating plugins for OMV

In the HC2 the SATA controller is managing the spindown.

https://wiki.odroid.com/odroid-xu4/software/jms578_fw_update

Oh understood so that means the APM setting in OMV do nothing? Including APM, AAM, Spindown time and Enable write cache?

What about on say a raspberry PI?

Or an Odroid H3?

How does one tell if those setting actually do anything?

Is APM based on the hard drive and not the device?

Ok so just setting up an OMV7 system.

I have one hard drive in an Odroid HC2.

It's a Western Digital Red 6TB hard drive connected with Sata.

I've seen:

Spin Down or Not / Or use Advanced Power Managment 2017

hd-idle on sourceforge

Correct HDD settings for ensure long life 2020

HDD Power Management 2017

I've also looked here:

Powermanagement for todays hard drives (WD Red Pro)? 2022

Playing with disk settings

So in 2024 what are the correct setting to use for:

Advanced Power Management

Advanced Acoustic Management

Spindown Time

Enable write-cache

In TrueNAS they are saying to use camcontrol identify <drive ID> to see if the hard drives plugged in have advanced power management and automatic acoustic management but I don't think OMV has that?

If it does what is it called?

Is there a guide I'm missing for setting this up correctly? If so can someone point me towards that?

I do realize this is often brought up, but I have looked and am having problems finding a acceptable solution.

Thanks for any help.

So I ran a few tests:

- I ran the system with only a disk in Bay1 and it's stable.

- I ran the system with only a disk in Bay2 and it's stable.

- I ran the system with only a disk in Bay3 and it's stable.

- I ran the system with a disk in Bay1 and Bay 2 and it's stable.

- I ran the system with a disk in Bay1 and Bay 3 and it's stable.

- I ran the system with a disk in Bay2 and Bay 3 and it's stable.

Going to now test all three disks at once.

This time around after a reboot:

Storage | Disks: All 3 visible but the lettering starts at sdb, sdc, sdd

Storage | File Systems:

sdb: is missing

sdc: Available and used is blank. It's not mounted but is referenced. Status online

sdd: have available space, is mounted, and referenced. Status online

I don't know what's going on

Not sure where to go or what to do at this point.

Anyone have a clue?

So that didn't work either.

Again the 3 drives are unmounted after less than 24 hours.

I've seen different variations. One variation is in Storage | File Systems: the status is online and referenced but not mounted and available space is blank.

Another variation in Storage | File Systems: the status is missing and everything is blank.

Another variation Storage | Disks: are missing

I'm not sure what is going on. Perhaps OMV is just in a bad state and I should reinstall OMV?

Not sure where to go from here.

In all cases a reboot "restores" the drives.

So today I looked at the NAS and all three drives are Missing in the Storage | File Systems. A reboot will restore them.

I'll try:

128 - Minimum power usage without standby (no spindown)

Now to see if that will fix it. Everything else is still set to Disabled.

I'm wondering if a fresh install of OMV is in order?

Zitat von chente

Maybe something related to the energy states of the disks? If you have it activated, you can try deactivating the sleep state to rule out possible problems in this regard.

Ok I went into Storage | Disks and set all three drives to:

Advanced Power Management:

64 - Intermediate power usage with standby

Advanced Acoustic Management:

Disabled

Spindown time

Disabled

I guess I'll see how this works out and report back. Shouldn't take too long.

I'll preface this post with the fact that I honestly don't know what to even search for, though I did try to search for my issue on both google an this forum.

Looked for "File System mount unstable"

Oh I saw a lot of mention of USB, and I am NOT using USB to connect any hard drive. It's all sata.

I did look at the: Solutions to common problems sticky and didn't see this.

Background:

I have 3 drives in my 4 bay NAS system. Hardware wise it's a Odroid H3 NAS with a 2 port sata card on the m.2 port. I've had it running great for over a year now no issues.

I had a 4 drive system with two raid 1 pairs, but a few weeks ago I had raid issues and decided to remove raid altogether.

So currently have a 3 drive EXT4 system nothing raided .

The OMV6 system is fairly vanilla no plugins installed besides Remote Mount.

Have rsync tasks running but not really running an rsync server. It acts like a client all the time.

Also have some SMB/CIFS shares

Issue:

So 3 EXT4 drives: sda1,sdb1,sdc1.

In File Systems I can see them.

I can see how much space is available, used, and mounted and referenced are checked off and status is online.

If I leave everything alone after a "time" I can go back to the OMV gui and go to File Systems and all 3 drives will no longer be mounted.

Available, used, and mounted will be blank or not checked off. Referenced will still be checked and online is still good.

SMART shows all status as good

But for whatever reason the drives disappear and are no longer mounted.

I can go to the cli and low and behold they are not mounted.

If I reboot the system everything goes back to normal... for a "time".

Does anyone know what is going on and how to solve this? Debating doing a fresh install but not sure.

Interested in using Restic on my OMV system, did this ever work out for you?

Zitat von raulfg3

revise compose pluging that do not refer to your old compose shared folder.

I'm not sure I understand this? What is does "revise compose pluging"?

Are you suggesting I have plugins installed?

The system is relatively stock.

I've deleted all the shares and deleted any references to the hard drives:

Services | SMB/CIFS | there are no Shares.

Services | Rsync | there are no Tasks.

Services | Reset Permissions | there is nothing listed

Storage | Shared Folders | nothing shared

When I go to:

Storage | Software RAID |

And select the volume I can delete the volume. When I hit the delete button this error is thrown:

After a time the volume returns sometime with different /dev/sdX letters.

At that point if I try to delete that volume the delete button is grayed out.

After a shutdown or reboot the volume returns so obviously it was never deleted.

Not sure where to go from here.

So not sure if I need a new post but I've deleted all the shares and deleted any references to the hard drives but I still can not delete the RAID.

So:

Services | SMB/CIFS | there are no Shares.

Services | Rsync | there are no Tasks.

Services | Reset Permissions | there is nothing listed

Storage | Shared Folders | nothing shared

Storage | Software RAID | select /dev/md0 and still can't delete

Not sure where to go from here.

I did manage to delete the other clean, degraded mirror. The clean md0 RAID I can not delete

Zitat von macom

Not a mdadm expert, but as I understand it, you can use one disk of a former RAID1, but not both in single disk configuration in the same system.

Ahh ok so then I will not lose the data then, that's good.

Zitat von macom

I started answering that question, as it is a common one, but noticed then that you were asking something else

You can install the resetperms plugin. Is has a tab which tells you, which shared folder is used by which service.

Oh nice ok thanks!

Zitat von macom

sure:

You will loose the data on the drives.

You can reduce the size of the RAID1 to one disk, though. However, I would not consider it best practice

Alles anzeigen

Yes that is the absolute path, but in order to remove the share folder don't you need to first remove any references to the shared folder? How can you easily tell what references the shared folder?

Zitat

You will loose the data on the drives.

Oh that's strange, why would you lose the data on a RAID 1 drive? I'm just removing the RAID1 from the device, so does removing the RAID format the drives? and if so why? I was under the impression that RAID 1 was just a mirror and I could take any of those two drives plug it into virtually any enclosure and retrieve the data?

Hello everyone, I currently have a two independent RAID 1 pairs with two disks each. Last week I get notified that both sets of disks are in the "clean, degraded" state.

Sometimes I feel, that "having a RAID" is important to nearly every new user. The first common misconception is, that RAID is giving you security. The second is, that RAID is a backup. Both is not true. The only important letter in the abbreviation 'RAID' is the first one - and it stands for "redundant".

Thema How to recover a "clean, degraded" RAID after cables problems of one of the 4 disks in RAID 10? Hi everyone, after i had some problems with the cables to one of the 4 drives in Raid 10 (unable to open ATA device), i fixed the cable connections and the drive restarted and is visible again (/dev/sde). From the OMV interface the disk is now visible again in Storage -> Disks, and also in S.M.A.R.T., but in Software RAID it is not listed among the devices and the status is "clean, degraded". Do I have to swipe the disk and then recover or is it better to follow another procedure? Thank you. … zerozenit 7. August 2023

After some thoughts I came to the decision to stop using RAID.

I found this here: https://kbase.io/delete-a-raid-volume-in-openmediavault/ that points to the previous OMV forum post. That post was made in 2016 and figured it would be good to ask if anything has changed in the last 8ish years? So is that procedure in the kbase still apply to OMV6? I'm simply trying to delete the RAID.

All my data is backed up but it would be nice not to lose the disk when I delete the RAID 1, does anyone know if after following the procedure if I'll lose all the data in the mirror or will I basically have two independent copies?

Also I know one of the issues with deleting the RAID is you can't do it if there are shared folders under the RAID volume, but is there any way to see exactly what folders are shared under the RAID?

Thanks for all the help.
