If you (or someone else) still need to use systems based on Buster (debian 10) for a little while longer I recommend to add the elts support repositories for additional security updates (although limited).

LTS/Extended - Debian Wiki

About repository archived that give error like backports of the first message, need to change the url to archive:

E: The repository 'http://httpredir.debian.org/debian buster-backports Release' no longer has a Release file.

I mean change http://httpredir.debian.org/debian to http://archive.debian.org/debian/ in the backports line of your apt source.list

Thanks for the reply and the link partially explain about the login notification mail.

About login notification actually seems to notify about any user sending mail to the recipients of system notifications, I think they should communicate to the specific user's email instead (if set).

About notification of updates available instead? have one mail or more for any server any days it seems counterproductive, that's why I was trying to figure out how to reduce it to at least weekly check but set it up so that it doesn't conflict with omv configurations or get overwritten by them later

Hi, I have recently put an omv 7 server into production with mail delivery set up, I also disabled some notifications that I don't need from the web gui but I continue to receive many emails (me and the customer's technician set as secondary) that we would prefer not to have or reduce.

About notification of login in the gui there is no way to disable (would be good to have).

I did research about and I found that will not send if there is already the cookie, this in some cases work, in other not and I not understand as is the same browser and I didn't deleted the cookie.

Also I assume it should only send to the interested user (if he has an email in the profile) but it seems that it always sends to all users to the emails set for system notifications, am I wrong or is it actually like that?

Is there any way to disable or tone them down that I haven't found?

Another annoying thing is the update notification emails, from web gui I didn't find how to disable them, I found a way in theory to reduce the checks to weekly manually from ssh but I'm not sure if they would be overwritten since they are omv configuration files.

For example:

less /etc/systemd/system/apt-daily.timer.d/openmediavault.conf [Timer]
OnCalendar=*-*-* 6,10,14,18,22:00
RandomizedDelaySec=4h

What should be the correct way to change update check and/or mail of notification without that omv configuration files will override them or in next update or generation of configuration restore them?

I did fast tests only about OMV webgui, for view what add these group not documented, I saw that only openmediavault-admin changed something, more exactly viewing all like admin users, with other groups I didn't see difference (with any others group nothing "new" appear in console and user can only change his password, like without any of these group).

Sorry for my bad english or if I not explain good.

Thanks for the reply, would be good to add in documentation what exactly do instead test them to see what add, the "explain" in the name is not enough.

For example user without them have access to webgui even without openmediavault-webgui but can only change password (and minor thing not needed.

-config is supposing give some config access, -engined I don't know and at least -admin is mentioned.

Now I'll test them to see what do exactly

EDIT:

done some fast test:

openmediavault-webgui - don't seem to add something, or I don't saw it

openmediavault-notify - don't seem to add something, or I don't saw it

openmediavault-engined - don't seem to add something, or I don't saw it

openmediavault-config - don't seem to add something, or I don't saw it

openmediavault-admin - seems like default admin account

(for any group test I applied the change and also did the logout and login for the test user)

Hi, I tried a fast search of all omv specific group for permission but I don't find information about, I found only openmediavault-admin here: https://docs.openmediavault.org/en/stable/administration/users.html

Can someone tell me if there are other groups affecting omv and where is a list with description please?

Thanks for reply, I also not found a global pinning for backports or a specific for e2fsprogs so remain to find the cause.

About the backup we use acronis cloud backup on all production servers including the new with omv 7 and filesystem of storage it has been backup sector-by-sector for incompatible features making impossible to files/folders recovery (the most used) and very long the full device restore (and with more limits).

For now the workaround used is

# remove metadata_csum_seed and orphan_file, introduced by e2fsprogs from backports
vi /etc/mke2fs.conf
# change
features = has_journal,extent,huge_file,flex_bg,metadata_csum,metadata_csum_seed,64bit,dir_nlink,extra_isize,orphan_file
# in
features = has_journal,extent,huge_file,flex_bg,metadata_csum,64bit,dir_nlink,extra_isize

Hi, I spotted an issue with backup on openmediavault 7 and I found was caused by new ext4 features on storage filesystem created by e2fsprogs from backports.

I have not installed it manually, but I have simply done an upgrade after openmediavault install so result installed by it.

As replied by e2fsprogs maintainer (https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1072566) backports should be used with care, can cause issue and are disabled by default.

I didn't find where and why omv 7 use e2fsprogs from backports from a fast search, can someone please tell me how to find it?
