Regarding miniDLNA ...

do have a mobile device (smart phone) which might be able to detect and playback content from your miniDLNA server ?

(I'm using BubbleUPNP on android)

If you just want to play back files from your NAS, miniDLNA is totally sufficient.

On my LG TV (from 2018) pressing the

button, (in the middle underneath the cursor keys)

shows my "<name>-MiniDLNA" server.

You must have added shares to the miniDLNA/shares section.

If you see your miniDLNA server and shares but no content, check the permissions on share level.

You could also create a RAID-1 Array with one drive missing, copy the data from the 1st disk to the array, wipe the 1st disk, add it to the array and let it sync.

You wrote: some files are "-rw-rw-r--+" and some "-rw-rw----+"

The "+" sign in the output tells me, you ARE using ACLs.

If you already have OMV installed on the SSD, inserted the SD-Card and configured the server to boot from the SD-Card --> YES.

If it worked correct, you will only see, after inserting a harddisc into the 1st bay.

Good luck,

Thomas

I have a similar setup with a G8 Microserrver.

1. Forget about the RAID controller, it's a so called "fake-raid" controller

I'm using the SATA controller in AHCI mode, so it will always try to boot from the disc in the 1st bay.

I have my SSD connected to the 5th SATA port, and configured the server to boot from USB/SD-Card.

To get OMV up and running I did:

Unplug all data drives,

One time boot from install media (virtual DVD) and install OMV to SSD, this will also install grub onto the SSD,

One time boot from harddisc (this will boot from SSD) and do a "grub-install /dev/sdx" followed by "update-grub2" where /dev/sdx is your SD-card (fdisk -l will tell you)

Reboot and the box will boot from SD-card.

Shutdown, insert your data drives, poweron and configure as desired.

For a router I would recommend looking at https://openwrt.org/ and the forum.

Many devices are listed and discussed.

You should easily find a powerful device (e.g. IPQ40xx based) that's even below your budget.

There is another post in this forum regarding "USB <--> SATA converters and same serial, udev rule", just search ...

The previous ZFS usage might cause a problem, just search this forum for "zfs wipefs"

Just search for "wd red smr" and you will find many threads like this:

https://blocksandfiles.com/202…ngled-magnetic-recording/

https://www.reddit.com/r/DataH…xk/wd_red_8tb_smr_or_not/

If you recently bought a "WD RED Drive", check if you've got a WDxxEFRX or a WDxxEFAX device.

The rest is up to you (and your vendor)

Schau mal hinten an deinem G8 Microserver, da sind 3 Netzwerkbuchsen, leg mal ein Kabel von der mit "iLO" beschriftete Buchse zu deinem Router. Dann beschaff dir aus aus deinem Router die IP-Adresse des iLO und gehe zu http://<iLO-IP-Adresse>.

Anmelden als "Administrator", Password steht auf dem Pappsticker der beim Server dabei war.

(Remote Console geht leider nur mit dem Internet Explorer)

Da dein Gerät ein HP Gen8 Server ist, hat es ein iLO4 eingebaut, damit kannst du die Remote Console benutzen

und eine ISO-Datei als virtuelle DVD einlegen und davon booten, kein USB Stick, keine Maus, keine Tastatur notwendig.

Just install the "openmediavault-resetperms" plugin, this will add two tabs to the shared folders section,
"Reset Permissions" and (more important) "Shared folder in use"
Here you can see which shared folder is in use by which service.

I also have (re)-installed omv4 during X-mas on my G8 Micro server,
here is my setup:
Micro SD-Card in the internal Slot (you could also use an USB stick in the internal USB Port)
120 GB SSD connected to the internal SATA port, data drives disconnected.
Configure the beast to boot from the internal SD/USB first.
Use the iLO remote console to insert the OMV ISO file as virtual optical drive,
choose "one time boot menu" to boot from the virtual optical drive,
Install OMV on the SSD and grub on the SD/USB. (flash memory plugin not required)
Shutdown, connect data drives and power on.
Configure as needed ...

Enjoy,
Thomas

man wipefs

Just a hint, the Gen 8 Microserver can not boot from the USB 3 Ports.
Only the USB 2 Ports are supported by the BIOS.

MCE = Machine-check exception
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine-check_exception

Your hardware is buggy.

I had a similar issue after upgrade from 3.x to 4.x.

Please have a look here:
RAID5 not mounted after upgrade

Hope this helps.

How about the Fractal Design Node 304 ? (http://www.fractal-design.com/…ode-series/node-304-black)
Also available in white ...
I have a Node 804, solid case and very quiet, comes with 3 fans.

unmounting the drive is a good starting point.
For the recovery I can recommend "testdisk", details here: https://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk

Good luck,
